What would you do?
The Bucs clearly need help after last season's disappointing 4-12 finish, their third losing season in the past four. And in your heart you know you're just the person to provide it. Here's your chance. Tampa Bay owns the fourth overall pick in this weekend's draft, behind the Raiders, Lions and Browns. You're playing the role of general manager Bruce Allen or coach Jon Gruden. Do you:
1. Trade up for Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson (left)?
2. Select Wisconsin tackle Joe Thomas (right)?
3. Take quarterback JaMarcus Russell of LSU or Brady Quinn of Notre Dame?
4. Select Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson (left)?
5. Draft a defensive lineman such as Clemson's Gaines Adams or Louisville's Amobi Okoye?
6. Trade your picks to the Bears for linebacker Lance Briggs (right)?
7. Do something else?
You're on the clock. What move do you make, and why? We'll run a selection of responses on page 2C of Saturday's Times, so please leave your full name and hometown along with your comments.
And be careful. We remember all too well draft day busts such as Keith McCants, Charles McRae and Bo Jackson, the top overall pick in 1986 who never played a down for the Bucs.
