Tudor: Butch Davis could factor in Bucs' picks

Posted Apr 23, 2012
It’ll be interesting to see if Butch Davis’ fingerprints turn up on Tampa Bay’s selections during this week’s NFL Draft. Fired as head coach by UNC in July of 2011, Davis was hired by new Bucs coach Greg Schiano as a special assistant in February. Most of the analysts predict Tampa will take defensive back Morris Claiborne of LSU with the fifth overall pick. (Raleigh News & Observer)
