The Bucs beef up the edge of the defensive line..

Tampa Bay got a big, speedy guy off the edge in Round 2 of the NFL Draft. With the 57th pick, the Bucs selected EDGE rusher Chris Braswell.

Talking of Braswell on the NFL Network broadcast, the crew talked about how Braswell and first round pick Dallas Turner would race during practices. The GPS chip would track Braswell at just under 22 mph.
