This shouldn't really change the draft all that much since most mocks have the Browns picking Adrian Peterson. Which means Calvin Johnson is still on the Bucs radar, although don't expect Gruden to tip his hand. Although even with Bruce Allen trying to rig the flip the Bucs couldn't win.
Allen actually supplied the only necessary equipment, a special commemorative coin presented to him on behalf of the commander of MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa. A beautiful, multi-colored coin emblazoned with a motto that always inspires Allen – “Mission First. People Always. America Forever.” – it is almost always in his possession. MacDill representatives gave it to Allen before a game last season to recognize the outstanding relationship the team and the military have long enjoyed.

Just spit-ballin' here, but maybe the Bucs actually "won" the coin-flip and the lucky coin actually helped.
Most of the so-called experts, believe that the Bucs are taking Calvin Johnson. No matter who the Bucs end up targeting that player will probably still be there at #4. The #4 pick will command a smaller salary/signing bonus than the #3 thanks to the NFLs slotting system. So in the long run losing this flip saves the Bucs cap space and they will get the player they wanted anyway.
could be, depends on if the browns trade out of the spot or not. chances are that a few other teams are interested in calvin johnson (minnesota at 7, green bay at 16) who may be willing to trade up.
calvin johnson on the falcons? and here i was thinking cj couldn't end up with a worse quarterback than reggie ball (although on the plus side cj wouldn't have much of a move).
if i had the choice between being attacked by a thrasher or a duck i would pick the thrasher every day. you just cant stop the flying V.
and the more troy smith slides down the draft board the lower the pick the bucs can spend on him.
Ready to make the bet now that the combine is over?
