The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... When asked earlier this month CBSSports.com blogger Will Brinson how he would react if the Bucs drafted Alabama RB Trent Richardson, Blount said, "I would not like that pick. I would definitely not be happy with that pick." But on Wednesday, Blount seemed willing to accept Richardson as a teammate. "Like I said, it was just a comment,' Blount said. "There's nothing for anybody to read too deep into. You know, there's not nothing I would want to explain. It was just a comment and I left it at that.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Blount still doesn't see a need for the Bucs to draft Richardson, but he says he would welcome him as a teammate. "Of course. I'd welcome him as a teammate," Blount said. "I'd welcome anybody as a teammate, it doesn't matter who it is. ..." The Bucs own the No. 5 overall pick and HC Greg Schiano is a fan of Richardson's ability to be an every down back. He also has been critical of Blount's lack of ball security. He has fumbled nine times, losing six, in two pro seasons. Richardson, meanwhile, had more than 600 touches with only one lost fumble at Alabama. ... In other words, if Richardson is there when the Bucs' turn comes up, Blount might want to warm up the ol' welcome wagon.
