NFL teams will draft 255 players from Thurs.-Sat., and few teams have as much of a stake in this year's class as the Bucs...Through live reporting from New York, team headquarters and the Official Draft Party at Raymond James Stadium, Buccaneers.com will make sure you don't miss a thing//

What's going on inside the heads of General Manager Mark Dominik and Head Coach Raheem Morris as the draft unfolds?

That we can't show you, but here at Buccaneers.com we're planning to keep you plugged in to just about everything else going on with the team's 2010 draft.

Consider Wednesday the calm before the storm. The NFL Draft begins on Thursday evening at 7:30 p.m. ET, and shortly thereafter Commissioner Roger Goodell will stroll onto the Radio City Music Hall stage with the first pick in his hand. Buccaneers.com will be there. Back in Tampa, Dominik and Morris and their crew will be gearing up for Tampa Bay's pick in the three spot, just minutes later. Buccaneers.com will be there. And about a mile away at Raymond James Stadium, thousands of Buc fans will be enjoying a rollicking (and free!) Official Draft Party, following all of the action on brand new HD video boards. Buccaneers.com will be there.

You get the picture. This draft has the potential to be one of the most impactful in the Buccaneers' 35-year history, and the team wants to make sure you have a front row seat. That's why we're breaking out our most comprehensive draft coverage ever.
