Bang for the Bucs

It's still very early in the 2010 draft, but you've got to love what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have done.

The Bucs followed up the no-brainer selection of Gerald McCoy in the first round with two good picks early in the second round. First, they further solidified their defensive interior by taking UCLA defensive tackle Brian Price, who many had projected as a first-round pick. The Bucs then added Illinois wide receiver Arrelious Benn, a physical prospect with major upside.

Tampa Bay's run defense was porous last season, but that should change dramatically in 2010 with the additions of McCoy and Price.

Being realistic, the Bucs still probably won't be able to contend in the NFC South, but they're clearly headed in the right direction.
