LT-Colmer?
LG-Buenning
C- Wade(Although, i wouldn't mind seein Mahan in there)
RG-Terry
RT- Davis

With the way things are looking for the Bucs, it looks like yet again, we will be trying to upgrade the Oline this offseason.
Walker- Kenyetta really improved this year, too bad he improved to only being a mediocre player, he doesn't have the toughness and mean streak that goes w/ professional O-Lineman.

Wade- John Wade has been a solid starter all year, and thats about it, nothing to special, but gets the job done.

Davis- Anthony Davis came into training camp last season and beat out everyone else in his position, although i think he'd be better at Gaurd, we already have good players at that position. Being too much size and talent I could definatley see him at the RT position next year.

Mahan- Sean Mahan is very undersized for Gaurd, the bucs like thier Gaurds to be big and powerful. He has good speed, technique, and footwork, which is why i could see him overthrowing Wade for Center at TC.

Buenning- Dan is just a blue-collar worker who is always playing at full speed, he's got a bright future ahead of him.

Terry- and finally theres Jeb Terry, at 6'5'' 311. he's got all the tools to be a star in the NFL, originally drafted by us in the 5th round two years ago. He's gained valuble learning experience while recovering from a mild injury during the offseason at TC. He'll be great at the RG position and pave many holes for Caddy for years to come.

Colmer- I was a little skeptical about Colmer, He could start next season if we part ways with Walker(hopefully).

Although the bucs have a lot of depth at OL, dont be suprised if we draft an OT, in the first round this year, the likes of Marcus McNeil or Jon Scott, would be great additions to our future great OL.

There are quite a few Tackles in the draft that could really help us. Davis is better suited to guard than tackle and Walker is a bit too inconsistent. I don't know if Yatta will be retained or not. I could see this line:

LT Rookie 1st Rd or F/A
LG Beunning
C Wade or Mahan
RG A. Davis
RT Colmer or Walker Or F/A or Draft pick

The Bucs need to trade up and draft D'Brickashaw Ferguson, who is the best offensive lineman in the draft, and will probably go in the top 10. I would trade Becht and Griese for a shot at Ferguson.

Unless we restructure Griese's contract trading him won't be an option because he would probably be released or it meant that Simms went bye-bye as a RFA. Also, if we retained Simms and Griese without restructuring Griese's contract then the cap hit we would take on the trade would make a trade like that unfeasable.

To trade up we would have to give up picks. Fergie is good, but there are a lot of tackles in this draft. I will be doing research later this week and posting links to tackles that would help us in the draft, both Left and Right.

Ferfusom i supoosed to be a top 5 pick, sorry, but that's not gonna happen. And plus, remember last time we traded up to get a stud LT, *cough*kenyatta*cough. There just too risky for a top 10 selection in my opinion.

Nobody will trade Ferguson for Becht and Griese. We'd probably have to give up next years 1st, our 1st this year, and a 2nd or 3rd. We should stay where we are and look at guys like Eric Winston, Marcus McNeil, and Winston Justice if he falls to us
