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.
