The early consensus appears to be California's WR/PR DeSean Jackson. We'll get to know him more in the coming weeks. North Carolina's DT Kentwan Balmer was a shock for me, he would be a nice pick up with an older Chris Hovan and Kevin Carter on the roster. The Dan Conner predictions and 2nd Round QB predictions slightly freak me out, I'd say those guys don't have a very good handle on the Bucs current needs.
A big THANKS goes to Sean from Pride of Detroit as I ganked this data base from his site.. Thanks Sean
