So I Guess There Was A Seventh Round, Too

After nearly an entire weekend spent on this, I couldn't justify sitting around the TV or internet any longer and waiting for the Buccaneers to select a player that will spend a year on the practice squad with a pick they didn't have when this whole thing started in the first place. So I looked it up and sure enough, the draft went on without my supervision.
The Bucs took Cory Boyd (RB, South Carolina) in the seventh round using a pick they acquired when they moved up (or down...I forget) during one of the earlier rounds. Since Boyd played in the SEC, I know a little something about him. And that something is that he fumbles a lot. Part of the reason is that he's so hard to bring down that the ball stays live longer than it normally would with another runner. He's pretty much a straight-ahead runner and if he can learn to hold onto the ball, he could turn into a decent third down back.
