Bucs Sign Jay Fiedler

Not exactly breaking news, but I have yet to offer an opinion on the pickup.

So far as I know, the available quarterback list is pretty short at the moment. Fiedler is a good pickup for the Buccaneers, particularly if Luke McCown isn't able to make a especially speedy recovery from his ACL injury.
I look for Gradkowski to serve on the practice squad this year unless he opens some eyes during the preseason. Gradkowski might end up being the best value pick in this draft (for the Bucs). The main thing that seems to have scared off other teams is his height (listed at 6'1" IIRC), but there are a number of very successful QBs close to that height. He's got a decent arm, great accuracy, and he timed just a wee bit slower than Vince Young at the combine. Plus he's got scads of leadership attitude.
Football rules.
