gb: Wonder what the rub against Marve, Purdue, was -- he was touted high
at one time. He "might" have been as good as the one the Bucs drafted.
Would have given the Bucs a better player in the draft - plus a qb.

Smith & Harris will likely make the PS.

Bucs have high hopes for Deveron Carr

Undrafted free agents usually are long shots to make an NFL regular-season roster. But you might want to keep an eye on Deveron Carr.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers sure are treating the Arizona State cornerback differently than the average undrafted free agent. The Bucs have given Carr a $15,000 signing bonus and guaranteed $5,000 of his base salary.

Many undrafted free agents don’t even get signing bonuses and those who do often top out at $5,000. Carr’s signing bonus is the highest I’ve seen so far for any undrafted free agent across the league.

Why did the Bucs sweeten the pot for Carr? Obviously, they must think he has some talent. But Carr probably was getting a decent offer somewhere else and the Bucs stepped up to make sure they got him. http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcsouth

Harris is not a Buc--bad report.

''Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- CB Branden Smith, Georgia: As Tampa attempts to improve its pass defense, the Buccaneers have several new faces at the cornerback position, most notably perennial Pro Bowler Darrelle Revis and second rounder Johnthan Banks. But the Bucs also added Smith, who doesn't look like much at 5-10 and 172 pounds, but he has legitimate 4.3 speed with the foot quickness to mirror and stick with receivers on the outside. He won't back down from contact but his lack of size does show in run support and against bigger receivers. Like Leonard Johnson, who was an undersized undrafted rookie a year ago, Smith might surprise if he gets a chance to see the field in 2013 due to his fluid athleticism.''
