According to the St. Petersburg Times, Tampa Bay has signed their number one pick Adrian Clayborn Wednesday, becoming the first, 1st-round pick to sign under the new rookie salary pay scale. Tampa Bay has now turned their attention to Da'Quan Bowers.

The Bucs also are working to sign their second-round pick, Clemson defensive end Da'Quan Bowers, who led the nation in sacks with 16. That four-year deal could be completed later today.

Bowers will also take a physical with the rest of the team on Thursday according to Bucs general manager Mark Dominik.

"Everything we've gotten back from Clemson in terms of what he did after the draft was over until one day ago, he followed a very good plan that we had in place and he stuck to it," Dominik said. "The trainers there at Clemson have worked really hard with him and now we're fired up to have Todd Toriscelli and our group continue to work with him. But I see Da'Quan being ready to go day one."
