The
offensive line has always been a problem for the Bucs and it was an area they
attacked early. We’ve always be high on Davin Joseph yet feel the 23rd
pick of the draft was early for his services. Joseph is a very efficient blocker
yet strictly a small area lineman with no potential at tackle. The situation
is similar for Jeremy Trueblood. Another blocker we like, the middle part of
round two was higher then we expected him to go. Their next three choices were
excellent value. Many thought Maurice Stovall could end up in the second frame
and was great value at the 90th pick. He could eventually give the
team what they are missing after the departure of Joe Jurevicius. The week prior
to the draft we explained why Alan Zemaitis was dropping down boards. The Penn State corner has first round physical skills and was a bargain on the second day
if he gets his head into the game. Julian Jenkins could grow into a starting
left defensive end.
