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.
