Q: Hi Ira and Roy, it’s been about a year since my last post (not a lot to complain about this year). Just wondering, do you guys think there is any way in heaven that the Bucs will trade up and try and snag DT Sedrick Ellis of USC? This guy could be just what this defense needs and has not had since Sapp left, a disruptive and penetrating force at the 3-techinique. Wishful thinking or a REAL possibility?—Charles Brandon, Chicago
A: Good to hear from you again. Don’t be such a stranger. Anyway, I can’t see the Bucs trading up to get a defensive player in the draft. They really focused on that side of the ball last year obviously and with great success. The Bucs are not necessarily set at DT but they were very happy with the play of Jovan Haye this year. They’ll look to beef up that area but I don’t think they see it as a need that requires trading up in the draft.

I vote for a stud DT like Ellis or another talented DT in late 1st or 2nd round. Jovan Haye should be a situational player and I don’t think I saw him around Eli during the playoffs game. Eli had plenty of time to stay inside the pocket.

I can understand why the Bucs were content with the play of the Defensive Line based on their overall ranking in the league last year. The reason why i still wish they would pursue a player like Ellis is because of the possibility of how great the Bucs defense would have been with more consistent pressure on the QB. Adams really came on late and looks really solid going into next year, but as Charles said, this team needs another Sapp. If Ruud can continue to be successful monitoring the run, then we need more pressure up front.
