Q: I can’t figure out why the Bucs haven’t been players in the bidding for WRs. Clearly they have the money to have matched the contracts offered to Hackett and Bryant Johnson. Do you think they’re content now to get their WR playmaker (someone like a DeSean Jackson) in the draft? Or are they waiting for some experienced veteran to become a salary cap casualty?—Paul Rybinski, Lawrenceville, N.J.

A: It’s clear the Bucs weren’t knocked out by the WR talent available in free agency. They had plenty of money to pursue Hackett or Johnson or Berrian, but they never put the full-court press on. It’s difficult to know in advance who will be available at pick No. 20 and many first-round choices take a few years before contributing significantly. At this point, the Bucs have done little to address their expressed need for speed on the flanks and in the backfield. It’s a frustrating and anxious time for Buc fans at the moment.
