QB isn't a priotity and i don't think our salary cap permit us to sign alexander.

I don't know why all you Buc's fans think you need a QB. From what I've heard, Griese had a good year. Plus, he has some good recievers to throw to. I think the biggest need for Tampa is to draft o-line. Maybe sign Walter Jones if you can. Look for a trade down on draft day if the Buc's have already grabbed a running back in free agency. I could be wrong about all of this. I'm a Packer's fan, and don't pay much atention to the Bucs.

If he is there I say take him and don't sign Griese. Take his cap money and use this as a rebuilding year to get in a better cap situation. If we do not resign Griese we are probably going to be picking a QB in the 2nd or 3rd anyways. Might as well get one of the best, but if we do get a QB in the later rounds I like J. Cambell.

I don't know if he's an elite enough prospect to pass up all the other talent avaiable at #5 ie. Cadillac, Mike Williams, DJ, Edwards. Gruden wouldn't do it because he thinks Simms can start, which I don't totally disagree with. Plus Greise's good enough or Warner or Garcia for now. We have bigger fish to fry than picking up a QB who doesn't even warrant Top Five consideration.

Alex SMith is overrated and I can't possibly se the Bucc's screwing up that bad by drafting him with much bigger needs in the depth chart. Drafting a wide out will give Simms and excellent target, the best being Mike Williams, or the Bucc's should draft one of the three top running backs to take presure of Simms.
