The Facts:
The Buccaneers used the fifth pick in the NFL Draft to select Carnell "Cadillac" Williams, a running back out of Auburn.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Bucs haven't had a 1,000-yard rusher since 2000 and the team was looking to put some "juice," as head coach Jon Gruden likes to say, in an offense that ranked 29th in rushing last season. ...Running back was clearly a position of need with Charlier Garner coming off knee surgery and Michael Pittman failing to play with the consistency desired. ... There have durability questions about Williams, who broke his collarbone in 2001, broke his leg in 2002 and sat out the Senior Bowl because of a strained back, but he was one of the fastest backs in draft, covering 40 yards in 4.5 seconds.
