–Rick Stroud (St. Petersburg Times) reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers General Manager Mark Dominik remains committed to building the team through the NFL Draft rather than free agency.

Dominik said, “We’re going to look in free agency. But as I studied, I’m a firm believer we’re going to build this thing from the draft. People can say, “Hey, could they spend a lot of money in free agency?’ I don’t think we’re going to be big players in free agency because I really believe you build through the draft.”

Dominik feels the team has a solid core of experienced players to build upon.
