Scouting Department Sleeping?

Whether you're a Tony Dungy/Dick McKay fan. Our a staunch Jon Gruden/Bruce Allen supporter, the one constant that remains is our player personnel departments are dropping the ball big time. Lets take look at Tampa's drafts dating back to the 1998 draft class and see who remains on the Buccs' roster, and what type of player they are.

1 will designate a good player drafted
2 will designate a serviceable player drafted
U+ will designate undecided yet, with upside
U- will designate undecided yet, not looking good at this time.

The 2007 class is just too green to make a decision on. Tanard Jackson looks like a future star, but we'll skip this year's for now.

That leaves us with 6 good players, 6 serviceable players out of the 74 players drafted since 1998. You be the judge.
