Who will the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select with the third overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft? Well, it depends on which players are there. As of right now, it looks like the St. Louis Rams are targeting Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford with the first overall pick. After that, Detroit will take an offensive tackle or a defensive tackle. The Lions' decision will impact who the Bucs take.
Former Bucs defensive tackle Warren Sapp and current ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay are among those who believe Gerald McCoy is the draft prospect who best fits the Bucs needs at defensive tackle.
That won’t keep the Bucs from taking a good hard look at the other elite defensive tackle in this year’s draft.
Ndamukong Suh, who has spent the last two days visiting the Detroit Lions, is scheduled to visit the Bucs on April 13, according to his agent, Roosevelt Barnes.

PewterReport.com's Take: No one should be surprised that the Buccaneers have scheduled a meeting with Suh. It would, however, be shocking if Suh fell to the Buccaneers at No. 3, but it's starting to look like that could happen. Assuming the Rams take Bradford, the Lions are seriously considering taking OT Russell Okung, which would make sense since their first-round pick from last year, quarterback Matt Stafford, needs better protection. There's still a chance the Lions will draft a defensive tackle, but if Suh somehow falls to Tampa Bay the Bucs would be on top of the world since Suh is the No. 1 player on the Bucs' draft board according to the people PewterReport.com has talked to inside One Buccaneer Place.
