How many QBs does Tampa need?

Tampa Bay drafted a QB this year. That gives them 7. Yes, 7 QBs.

Jeff Garcia

Bruce Gradkowski

Brian Griese

Luke McCown

Jake Plummer (inacitve...semi retired)

Chris Simms

plus....

They drafted San Diego QB Josh Johnson.

I can (sort of) understand this pick...Johnson looks like a potential steal.

But QB is not a position where this much depth makes sense.

What is the thinking here?

Is John Gruden just screwing around?

UPDATE: The Bucs actually invited an 8th QB to their mini-camp: undrafted rookie QB Sam Keller (University of Nebraska-Lincoln).

Of course, Gruden likes to do this...see this NYTimes article from last August. Sound familiar?
