Q: Roy or Ira, with all the QB trouble the Bucs have, not happy with McCown’s progress or Bruce Gradkowski’s and we don’t know if Simms will ever be healthy again, do the Bucs like the QB from Delaware, Joe Flacco? And would they take a chance on him if still available in the second round? He has a big upside, has a big arm is mobile and he could learn from Garcia for a couple years.—Joseph C. White, Port Charlotte

A: The Bucs love the QB from Delaware. They especially love his arm. So does everybody else. I have been saying for weeks now that the Bucs will probably draft a quarterback this year and I’m sticking to that prediction. The good news is that a lot of the quarterbacks in this year’s draft are dropping because of lack of need and fear of paying too much. That means the Bucs may have a shot at a guy like Flacco, possibly in the third round. He’d be a good acquisition there. And don’t buy into that theory that the Bucs aren’t interested because Coach Jon Gruden didn’t attend his pro day. Gruden saw Flacco at the Senior Bowl and the combine. Between that and the tape he saw enough to make a judgment on him.
