Grades!

Joe was, sadly, a little disappointed. With a little aggressiveness, the Bucs could have come away from Day 2 of the draft with a haul. (more…)

Soft-spoken, not disappointed.

Well, someone out there is feeling badly that the Miami Mauler, Bucs defensive lineman Rueben Bain, lost so much salary money Thursday night that he is the No. 1 loser for all first-round picks. (more…)

Tampa Bay is on the move, trading out of pick No. 77 with the Green Bay Packers.

The Bucs now own Picks Nos. 84 and 160, the latter is a fifth-rounder from Green Bay in exchange for the swap of No. 77 for No. 84.

Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht got his wish: an extra pick.

COMMENT all draft long below.

So the Bucs got their man last night in the Miami Mauler, defensive lineman Rueben Bain. And just like some 30 years ago when another Hurricane legend unexpectedly dropped into the Bucs’ lap, so too did Bain, for different reasons, obviously.

Tonight, Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht could come away with a haul with all the good players still on the board, if he feels aggressive and somehow perloins an extra second-round pick without giving up a third-round pick.

No wonder Licht wanted to trade back.

As always, Joe kindly requests, please do behave.

Bucs third-round pick linebacker Josiah Trotter.

Already it seems Bucs fans are not hip with the pick of linebacker Josiah Trotter from Missouri in the second round, just judging by the social media outrage and comments on this here corner of the interwebs. (more…)

Second-year cornerback Benjamin Morrison

The Bucs remain young and thin at cornerback and there was a chance Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht would have ignored the team’s screaming needs at edge rusher and inside linebacker, and instead drafted a cornerback in Rounds 1 or 2. (more…)

Bucs DL Rueben Bain.

Years ago, in the prehistoric age, say before the Vietnam War, the NFL was about football. It was also the No. 3 sport in the country behind baseball and college football. Maybe even boxing. (more…)
