Frontloaded deal? Yeah, they are definately taking a quarterback on draft day.

it wouldn't be very surprising...

It wouldn't be suprising if they didn't, i could see them taking A.J. Hawk, or someone else to shore up their defense.

The St. Petersburg Times reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Bruce Allen said the team remains interested in restricted free agent QB Seneca Wallace (Seahawks). Wallace visited Tampa last week and the team's interest in the versatile quarterback likely grew after QB Brian Griese's departure to Chicago. "We haven't moved on," Allen said. "He was an interesting prospect and we didn't have a lot of information on him. We wanted to meet him and understand a little bit more what Seattle's been doing (with him) on offense." As noted earlier, the Seahawks are planning to retain Wallace and they are trying to sign him long-term.
