Hopefully he makes the team.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:46 pm
Haha…from NFL.com profile of him: “Soft-spoken but carries a walloping stick”
April 28th, 2017 at 8:46 pm
Wow!! Just Fn Wow!! Well that is a head scratcher!! Just took a little piece of my heart with that fart!!
April 28th, 2017 at 8:47 pm
Not a fan, he hits but doesn’t wrap up. Hopefully he proves me wrong, why not the safety from Uconn. And why does Mayock think he will start opposite of Ryan Smith, do your homework
April 28th, 2017 at 8:47 pm
Not happy, with Godwin or Harris and other players still available. Hmm.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:47 pm
We got a TE and a safety 1&2. The only 2 positions the joes didn’t think we need to hit on early 😂😂😂
April 28th, 2017 at 8:48 pm
Gambles a lot and will miss tackles…awesome! That’s exactly what I want when we spend a second round pick on a safety.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:48 pm
Licht has lost his damn mind.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:48 pm
I get the feeling that unless they trade up, they won’t be getting any edge rushers in this draft. None of the top guys, anyway.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:48 pm
Not a fan yet. Way better players there.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:49 pm
LOL. Then Demarcus Walker goes right after him. Draft so far D-. Only because OJ Howard is a good blocker.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:49 pm
Once again, another shirty pick 2nd round for the bucs! Perine sitting there to be picked, you have a drug addict RB and they pass for a mediocre safety!
April 28th, 2017 at 8:49 pm
I’m beginning to believe Jason L. is so hung over after the first that he has his 6 year old boy making these picks on auto pilot!! Much more value out there than Evans at this point!!!
April 28th, 2017 at 8:49 pm
Yawn. I guess we’ll find out if he can tackle Cook.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:49 pm
Ranked 115th on cbs. They could have gotten this guy in 4th. Holy dog crap. Man. Licht may have had one to many beers last night
April 28th, 2017 at 8:50 pm
This pick makes now sense
April 28th, 2017 at 8:50 pm
Really wanted Demarcus walker….Go Bucs
April 28th, 2017 at 8:50 pm
A hitter, I like it.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:51 pm
He’s a playmaker and we need a playmaker on the D side. I still think our secondary is suspect. I like the pick.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:51 pm
It would have been to nice hear about and to see some highlights on the the Bucs pick and BSPN talks 10 min about Joe Mixen who gives a crap. What a joke way to go BSPN

Yeah, when it’s not missing. This guy is garbage.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:52 pm
Screw Licht, this guy is just another 2nd round turf they’ll hang onto way too long that won’t amount to anything!
April 28th, 2017 at 8:52 pm
Not gonna lie Joe. As it stands right now, I would’ve preferred Chris Godwin.
But I trust Licht.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:52 pm
In the 2nd why?
April 28th, 2017 at 8:53 pm
If he can play like our other Evans from Texas A&M, I will be very pleased.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:53 pm
Y’all are so funny. In 1 pick (last night to tonight) Licht has gone from genius to Licht has lost it and his mind in the process. You think maybe it just might be the collective you in that thought process…
April 28th, 2017 at 8:54 pm
Really, Carolina gets Samuel and we get …. sorry I forgot his name. A freaking nobody who is slow and can’t tackle. Great! This guy can’t make second round picks to save his life. In Light I no longer trust…smh
April 28th, 2017 at 8:55 pm
Hm
April 28th, 2017 at 8:55 pm
He actually grades as a second round pick but all you GMs are ever so smart…
April 28th, 2017 at 8:55 pm
The last time the Bucs selected someone named Evans that was from Texas A& M, he turned out to be pretty darn good…… Just sayin
April 28th, 2017 at 8:56 pm
Hey, if you like numbers:
38 missed tackles in 2 seasons – 219th in tackling efficiency among safeties
210th in run stop percentage among safeties
Also – “overcommits to everything”
2nd rounder !!! woohoo!
April 28th, 2017 at 8:56 pm
Won’t even see the field
April 28th, 2017 at 8:57 pm
That’s the equivalent to dropping a pass while all alone in the endzone.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:57 pm
NFL.com had him ranked 53rd vs. 115 on cbs. … where is the disconnect?
I’m going to wait and see on this guy. Licht I guess knows something we don’t.

—————–
Not me. I’m apparently only one of the people that have watched OJ Howard his entire career and to say we blew our first round draft pick is an understatement. Licht just went from dumb to dumber IMO.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:58 pm
Don’t know anything about this kid, honestly never even heard of him but DAMN would’ve loved Demarcus Walker right there. I trust in Licht though so I’ll reserve judgement before I start criticizing the pick. Might end up being one of the better safeties from this draft for all I know…
April 28th, 2017 at 8:58 pm
let it be known I have watched zero tape of Evans, and cannot make even a partially informed opinion.
Like I said I trust Licht.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:58 pm
@Rossta
I know right. They skipped about three team player’s highlights talking about Joe Mixon. Ridiculous.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:59 pm
Oh boy.
April 28th, 2017 at 8:59 pm
Looks like pretty good hands and hustle to me.

———————-
The disconnect is the NFL still thinks the SEC is the best conference in college football so everybody from there is the greatest. It should be clear by now that the vast majority of draft “experts” don’t actually watch these guys in college, just highlights.
April 28th, 2017 at 9:01 pm
Yes Blake…and ESPN dropped the ball for any highlights.
April 28th, 2017 at 9:02 pm
This pick of ours had the benefit of Myles Garrett on his team.
I hope Licht knows something we don’t ……
April 28th, 2017 at 9:03 pm
Looked decent in the highlights, think it’s a good pick.
April 28th, 2017 at 9:04 pm
@jghot86..couldn’t agree more! Reading JBF posts is like absorbing the mindless chatter in a third grade playground…undeveloped attention spans, run amok!!
April 28th, 2017 at 9:05 pm
I’m not gonna lie I wanted Jordan Willis, Josh Jones, Obi or Chris Godwin..oh well.
April 28th, 2017 at 9:06 pm
@DSZ, since you only show the bad, I’ll show the good.
-Has the ball skills not only to time his breakup without going through the receiver and taking a penalty, but can also high-point and catch the ball away from his frame.
-Has outstanding range – can make plays to the boundary on the back end, as well as get to the ball carrier at the line of scrimmage when working from a traditional safety alignment.
-Gave up an average of just 8.3 yards per reception and two touchdowns in 2016 while intercepting four passes and breaking up eight.
-2 coverage grade ranked third-best among FBS safeties in 2016.
-Did not give up a reception longer than 14 yards after September this season.
April 28th, 2017 at 9:09 pm
My third leg is bigger than this guy.
April 28th, 2017 at 9:09 pm
I like Justin Evans, don’t get me wrong. I think he is a good SS with good ball skills.
April 28th, 2017 at 9:09 pm
Wow. I’m a huge Jason Licht fan and will remain one even if this pick does blow up as badly as Mark Barron.
We still get sick at the thought of passing on Luke Kuechely to take Barron.
But we felt OK at MLB I guess and that had too much influence? That and the fear of cover TE’s in our division…which Barron never did either!
I hope we’re not having this same convo after Demarcus Walker blows up as a pass rusher while our safety is OK.
April 28th, 2017 at 9:10 pm
Do you Monday morning quarterbacks really think Coach Smith (NOT Lovie) didn’t sign of on this guy??? Everyone complains about wanting players with heart and THIS GUY HAS HEART. Hard hitter who wants to play! I trust Licht, Kotter and Smith. Fundamentals can be taught. Heart can’t!!
April 28th, 2017 at 9:10 pm
All I know is before the weeks and months before the draft I was looking into safeties and he was pretty high up there. We needed a safety. I trust Jason Licht, Dirk Koetter, and I’m assuming Mike Smith might of had a little input on this. So let’s calm down with all the haters that have already commented and see what happens.
April 28th, 2017 at 9:10 pm
Hey Chris, since Joe gives you a free ad every time you post, how much to clean my roof?
April 28th, 2017 at 9:11 pm
Instead of already labeling this kid a bust, why don’t we wait and see what he does on the field. Don’t be salty that YoUR guy wasn’t picked. He’s on the team now – wish him the best.. There’s no appeasing some of you people..
April 28th, 2017 at 9:11 pm
Boooooooooooo!!!
April 28th, 2017 at 9:12 pm
Same.
April 28th, 2017 at 9:13 pm
Player comparison: Earl Thomas, Seattle Seahawks
High praise, but this comp is more about athleticism and playing style than expected next-level production. Like Evans, Thomas is an explosive athlete who has been outstanding in coverage throughout his career but has missed 95 tackles in seven seasons with the Seahawks, including 12 this past season despite playing just 693 snaps due to injury.
-And we all know Earl Thomas sucks. I bet the Seahawks never wanted him on the team. haha
April 28th, 2017 at 9:16 pm
He’s a good coverage Safety. I think the Bucs will play him at FS instead of SS. This is a solid pick for the Bucs, I had him on my radar. Hopefully they start him at FS this season. i believe he can step in and start at FS for us.
April 28th, 2017 at 9:18 pm
Was co- defensive MVP alongside M Garrett. Voted by his teammates, that I respect.
April 28th, 2017 at 9:19 pm
So far we’re 1 For 1 on Evans from Texas A&M, how bout 2 For 2?
April 28th, 2017 at 9:30 pm
Anyone who says this is a stupid pick is stupid. There is no way that your “evaluation” having him as a 4th rounder means squat!! Go watch video of this guy!! He’s a baller!!!
April 28th, 2017 at 9:32 pm
Now we need to draft Oklahoma OLB Jordan Evans tomorrow in the 4th or 5th.
April 28th, 2017 at 9:35 pm
Who??? I guess
April 28th, 2017 at 9:39 pm
Well, I have seen some comparisons to Earl Thomas, so that is high praise. If he can even come close to that, it will be a heck of a pick. Also, I remember not liking the Kwon Alexander pick much a few years back, but that turned out just fine, so I will give the Bucs scouting department the benefit of the doubt.
April 28th, 2017 at 10:20 pm
The Bucs intention- IMO, is to start Evans at Free safety, Wilcox at Strong Safety.
Wilcox is a massive hitter, that is young enough to be improved by good coaching.
Gonna have to trust Licht on Both of our new safeties.
Was home last night. Watching Draft on NFl network.
Tonight, stuck with BSPN
BSPN sucks! Hard!!
April 28th, 2017 at 10:37 pm
I got my man Chris Godwin
April 28th, 2017 at 10:50 pm
Eric… You’re a dumb ass… Licht knows what he’s doing… Just sit back and relax… We’re about to light this league on fire!
