So, we know there is a big need at running back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

LeGarrette Blount has shown flashes, but he doesn't seem to have what it takes to be an every-down back in this league.

So, in which direction will TB go? Many experts expect the team to take a corner in the first round, with Trent Richardson possibly going fourth to Cleveland. If that happens, Tampa won't reach for a RB at the fifth spot. So, then, what are the options?

Former Virginia Tech star David Wilson is the option. A star who started one season but ran for over 1,700 yards, setting the school's record, he can do it all. He is dangerous as a returner, pass-catcher and a runner, though sometimes he tries to do too much. He will certainly be available early in the second round and is worth a look. Considering Blount is a power back, Wilson can do it all and would make a nice combination. 

What do you think? Does that sound like a decent pick for the Bucs in the second round? If not, who would you aim for?

Former Houston Texans and first round pick Amobi Okoye, who played last season with the Chicago Bears, has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

A versatile player, the DT could be a huge signing for the Bucs if he can earn some time. 

The general manager of Chicago, Phil Emery, said during a conference call that he expected the former Louisville star to sign with another team. 

"I think Amobi is trying to decide which direction he's going," Emery said. "We've had conversations with him. So far we haven't been able to work out a deal. I really believe that Amobi is probably going in a different direction."

He was right, as the played struck a nice deal with the team. 

The 24-year-old had four sacks last season as a backup. He came into the league in 2007 and drew interest from several teams in free agency. 

According to the Tampa Bay Times, the deal is worth $2 Million and will serve as a backup behind Gerald McCoy and Brian Prince. 

Okoye, who started 59 games in five seasons, is from Nigeria and is quick off the line. 

Remember, Bucs coach Greg Schiano knows plenty about the player, having battled against him in the Big East.
