Schneider confirms the #Seahawks had Mark Barron, Luke Keuchly and Bruce Irvin as their top 3 rated defensive players. Not Mo Claiborne.— Nick Kostos (@TheKostos) April 30, 2012

[Vikings GM] Spielman, as it turned out, had talked to Tampa Bay about the [third overall] pick, but the Bucs were never seriously interested in it.

Morris Claiborne is the top rated player on Minnesota's draft board.

I remember watching Nebraska football the past couple of years and I always found myself drawn to the guy in jersey No. 4 playing linebacker for the Cornhuskers, a tackling machine who played with great speed. His name is Lavonte David. Get to know him. He will also be an NFL tackling machine. Think Derrick Brooks. Yes, that's high praise, considering Brooks is a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But David has the same kind of ability Brooks had. He is undersized, but fast and tackles well and should make a smooth transition to playing weak-side linebacker on the next level.

Rumor floating around that the Bucs will open up the NFL season on Sunday or Monday night at Oakland (second game at 10:15)

Claiborne or Richardson? What if both are available at the Number 5 pick? Who should the Bucs take and why?
