Round 2 Draft Open Thread
April 26th, 2019
Among the thousands of daily readers here, less than 1 percent like to share a comment or two, or 10. So Joe is firing up another draft-day open thread so you folks have a place to collect your prognostications — and be praised or laughed at later.
Have fun. Play nice. It’s not that hard.
April 26th, 2019 at 6:52 pm
I do my best to make up for those that only read and don’t post….
April 26th, 2019 at 6:53 pm
Cody Ford is my dream. Rumors are out there that Greedy Williams might fall to the 3rd.
Could you imagine if the Bucs came away with Devin White, Cody Ford, and Greedy Williams?
April 26th, 2019 at 6:56 pm
I see a CB if we sit tight. I can also see a trade to Miami with them targeting Lock ahead of Denver.
April 26th, 2019 at 6:56 pm
rather have the temple CB at #3
April 26th, 2019 at 6:56 pm
Right Tackle? Cornerback?
April 26th, 2019 at 6:57 pm
QB WILL GRIER, UNIVERSITY OF WEST VIRGINIA. 🙂
April 26th, 2019 at 6:57 pm
@TUT Would like to see that happen
April 26th, 2019 at 6:58 pm
I saw a long segment on Greedy…maybe it is just the way he comes across….but the guy is very very laid back…and maybe not mature…seems like a nice enough kid though
April 26th, 2019 at 6:59 pm
Some people were talking about OL Jawaan Taylor in the Round 1 open thread….
There are some rumors floating around out there that there are 2 major concerns with Taylor: 1. Off the field concerns–whatever that entails. 2. His knee.
He was mocked by many to Jax at #7…so he was one of the big losers on day 1.
And yet–the guy has the potential to be a great player. Will be interesting to see where he ends up.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:00 pm
I predict there will be BIG wheeling and dealing….Bucs may even trade back…there is a lot of equal talent in the later 2nd and all of the 3rd round
April 26th, 2019 at 7:00 pm
Ferguson career sack leader. I want him. Or Taylor from Florida if he last until us. He was projected to go to us at 5. If we get him in the second that would be great
April 26th, 2019 at 7:01 pm
Greedy, risner, Ford ,Ferguson
April 26th, 2019 at 7:01 pm
Funny you have a photo of Noah Spence. I saw him literally today on my airplane and in Tampa airport. He was on my flight flying from Atlanta. And in coach class. He looked like he had put on a lot of weight. Still very muscular dude. Wishing him well so he doesn’t have to keep flying coach. This his is his year to do something.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:02 pm
Trade down and grab at least an extra pick. Get 3 or 4 tonight please.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:03 pm
Greedy Williams will not go to round 3……
I’m thinking we pick a CB @ 39…….
April 26th, 2019 at 7:03 pm
If the Bucs draft Jaylon Ferguson at all tonight, I riot
April 26th, 2019 at 7:07 pm
Keep Licht away from all D-II and D-III players
April 26th, 2019 at 7:09 pm
What he said ^
April 26th, 2019 at 7:15 pm
Cody Ford might be on the board when we draft. Was worried the Cards would draft him
April 26th, 2019 at 7:16 pm
G or DT or Cb
April 26th, 2019 at 7:17 pm
Devin White is faster than Byron Murphy
April 26th, 2019 at 7:19 pm
Good pick by the Colts. Better than Murphy
April 26th, 2019 at 7:19 pm
CB run has begun….Murphy and Ya-Sin off the board.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:19 pm
I wanted the Raiders to draft Sin, next year he could of been Rock Ya-Sin City.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:20 pm
Jags fxn to draft Cody Ford.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:21 pm
Jax might still end up getting Jawaan Taylor.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:22 pm
Thank you Jags!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:22 pm
Guard or DE….trenches!!!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:25 pm
@ altered you r correct
April 26th, 2019 at 7:25 pm
Need a CB also.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:26 pm
Greedy or Ferguson!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:26 pm
GET GREEDY
April 26th, 2019 at 7:27 pm
Ford , risner , greedy or is there a surprise lb/ de they love ….. remember Arians drafts top rated which would be Irv Smith , qb or center
April 26th, 2019 at 7:28 pm
Really hoping Tampa gets Risner, if he’s not there. Get Greedy
April 26th, 2019 at 7:29 pm
Seattle needs to draft OL to protect Russ.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:30 pm
Panthers trade up.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:30 pm
please do NOT draft Greedy
April 26th, 2019 at 7:30 pm
Panthers jumped in front , let’s see 😡😂
April 26th, 2019 at 7:31 pm
Sh!t…. I bet Carolina grabs Cody Ford.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:31 pm
Sh*t . Who Carolina trading up for.? Risner I bet
April 26th, 2019 at 7:32 pm
Why was Cobb’s kid stuck with the 49ers pick? Maybe they didn’t want to have a Make a Wish and Cobb’s kid doing back to back picks for the Bucs, too morbid.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:32 pm
Cody Ford dream is still alive!!!!!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:32 pm
Please let Ford fall to us!!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:32 pm
Gotta go offensive line
April 26th, 2019 at 7:33 pm
Don’t blow it again Licht!!! Take the best rated OL or CB Although there are lots of kickers still available so anything can happen
April 26th, 2019 at 7:33 pm
Little was a potential pick for us. I do prefer Risner though.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:33 pm
Bills jump in front of us now
April 26th, 2019 at 7:33 pm
Bills just got ahead of us.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:33 pm
Ford still there. Greedy looking good also.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:33 pm
Why are all these teams trading up to get in front of the Bucs
April 26th, 2019 at 7:34 pm
Risner looking good too.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:34 pm
Bills added so much OL in FA. They cant be taking Ford, right? Maybe they are going Metcalf?
April 26th, 2019 at 7:34 pm
“LOL
Real GMs movingup to get starters
we wait for backup players
Real Gms are playing chess and our gimp is playing tiddly winks”
Shaman Faker
April 26th, 2019 at 7:35 pm
To early for Little
April 26th, 2019 at 7:35 pm
Repost:
Bucs current corner depth chart…
#1. ??????
#2. Davis
#3. VH3
#4. ??????
#5. ??????
April 26th, 2019 at 7:35 pm
Bills take Ford or Risner for sure
April 26th, 2019 at 7:35 pm
Wouldn’t be shocked if Jason Gump chose a holder in the second round…. WORST GM EVER!!!! except for Joes favorite Mark Dominik who equally sucks!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:36 pm
Watch the Bucs take another Bama TE.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:36 pm
Where does all the advertisement go…NFL..split between teams…the network….gesssh….painful and breaks the drama and suspense of the draft
April 26th, 2019 at 7:36 pm
Greedy, Ford, McCoy… definitely some options…
April 26th, 2019 at 7:36 pm
Sk , that’s some funny sht
April 26th, 2019 at 7:37 pm
Bills took Ford, damn it
April 26th, 2019 at 7:37 pm
Little is overrated…gj kitties lol
April 26th, 2019 at 7:37 pm
Hope the Bucs trade down now. So many DBs left. Trade down for anther 3rd makes sense
April 26th, 2019 at 7:38 pm
That’s two teams that moved up to steal OL players before Tampa could pick. They knew full well Tampa was going OL.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:38 pm
McCoy please
April 26th, 2019 at 7:38 pm
Btw if they take a tall corner which they need Bad we def know Bruce doesn’t follow the board !!! Coach em up Bruce !!!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:39 pm
Well maybe we can draft a DE or CB now that Ford is gone.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:39 pm
Bucs sit there and everyone jumps Ahead to grab OLine
Nice
WE NEEED Olines Help
April 26th, 2019 at 7:39 pm
Has to be Risner now. Please!!!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:39 pm
Damn! Risner, greedy.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:39 pm
Dang, ok Risner has to be the pick
April 26th, 2019 at 7:39 pm
Bucs should trade down–get extra pick.
But Licht is snoozing.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:40 pm
Or Jenkins
April 26th, 2019 at 7:40 pm
Who is Pickisin ?
April 26th, 2019 at 7:41 pm
Risner. Greedy. Ferguson
April 26th, 2019 at 7:41 pm
Cody Ford pic hurt
I was hoping for him
April 26th, 2019 at 7:42 pm
WTF?
April 26th, 2019 at 7:42 pm
What ?
Are you kidding me
April 26th, 2019 at 7:42 pm
Who?
April 26th, 2019 at 7:42 pm
this reminds me of MJ Stewart… kill me
April 26th, 2019 at 7:42 pm
What a joke!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:42 pm
Who????
Damn we did nothing in the first two rounds to improve the trenches. Licht has to be fired now!!! Don’t wait until round three.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:42 pm
Bunting for a base hit…the Tampa Bay way!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:43 pm
Bunting is better then greedy
Are you kidding me ?
Dude. Licht in the second round
April 26th, 2019 at 7:43 pm
I know we need the DB’s, so I’m not too disappointed, but I really wanted Dalton Risner there.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:43 pm
Who the hell is that? Wow….but CB, good I guess….
April 26th, 2019 at 7:43 pm
Fire em now
April 26th, 2019 at 7:43 pm
Licht’s 2nd rounders. lol Could of had this dude in round 3.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:43 pm
Wow!! Licht strikes (out) again
April 26th, 2019 at 7:43 pm
Wooooow
April 26th, 2019 at 7:43 pm
Well
April 26th, 2019 at 7:43 pm
maybe trading all our 2nd round picks from now on is a good idea after all
April 26th, 2019 at 7:43 pm
Jason sucks could have got this guy tomorrow
April 26th, 2019 at 7:44 pm
Wow, hope this isn’t like the MJ Stewart situation
April 26th, 2019 at 7:44 pm
If you are asking who – then how do you knock the pick?
April 26th, 2019 at 7:44 pm
Why not trade down?
I think this kid might have been available later….just saying.
Licht is horrible. He has mailed it in.
Thank the Glazers for retaining this bum.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:44 pm
This is a joke how in the world do we take this guy right here.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:44 pm
They didn’t even have highlight film of this guy?
It’s a Bucs life..
April 26th, 2019 at 7:44 pm
Some will be disappointed…
April 26th, 2019 at 7:44 pm
Shaun Bunting? Why no Greedy?
April 26th, 2019 at 7:44 pm
Licht was outmaneuvered by the Jags…
April 26th, 2019 at 7:45 pm
Omg, another Jason Gump second round disaster. We should just trade our second round away every year with Gump as GM. Speechless ……
April 26th, 2019 at 7:45 pm
Licht must be in the draft room!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:45 pm
I’ll take him all day over Greedy.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:45 pm
We need a homerun, instead we are bunting.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:45 pm
Textbook Licht in the 2nd round.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:45 pm
So much for the vh3bust hype…. you can’t fix fragile, short, slow and STUPID…
April 26th, 2019 at 7:45 pm
Fire Gump now.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:45 pm
The kid has good measurables, so at least he’s not slow like the corners we got last year.
I didn’t watch any film or do any prep so I’m not going to be outraged… but based on hype and value, this seems like a bad pick. If you were going to make this pick then trade back and get a little something extra.
Anywho based on the way Licht has drafted corners, and based on who he’s skipped on to draft the ones he got, I’m assuming this isn’t going to go well. But hope not.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:45 pm
I love the pick.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:45 pm
Is this a Bowles pick.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:45 pm
Licht just lacks the mental ability to do this job. Someone needs to throw the towel in for him. Poor fella is embarrassing himself.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:45 pm
Licht just showin us, He really does suck in his 2nd rd picks
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
Oh good we got the 10th rated corner
Fire this mother****** already
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
This years MJ Stewart. Greedy William’s is the best corner in this draft and he’s still there.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
Sa-wing and a miss!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
Who da fck is this?
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
Who?! Really??? I hate the 2nd round…
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
Another example of Licht trying to outsmart everyone…. I’m gonna guess he was originally after OL.. and the Bills and Panthers read him like a book…
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
My win prediction went down by one to four wins in 2019.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
Lol comical
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
Nice one Rayjay
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
O
K
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
Clever move by Jason to confuse the entire NFL…
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
So we just drafted a 3rd rounder
At least we didn’t trade up for him
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
Everyone will go to NFL.com and act like they have knowledge on the pick by reading 1 or 2 sites!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:46 pm
Worst GM in team history.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:47 pm
Love it for the reaction
April 26th, 2019 at 7:47 pm
Everyone and their uncle knew were going to go OL there so they traded in front of us and got left with nothing. That’s what happens when your needs are glaring.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:47 pm
He may be our starting Safety in 2020!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
The pick itself might not be bad.
But what is not in doubt is that Licht blew it my not acquiring more draft capital.
Ugh!!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
I’m thinking that we are going to trade back into the 2nd
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
What’s our track record lately choosing DB’s? Not very good.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
Greedy is afra8d of getting hit
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
So far, the Bunting kid has less highlights than any. Way to go Jason Licht.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
What’s so great about bunting. Why did we not get greedy ? Fml we are screwing this draft up.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
I love all the expert NFL Scouts posting here. LOLZ.
There’s a reason so many teams are passing on Greedy Williams.
CHILL.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
After we win 5 games again they will have to fire light ! Won’t they?
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
I just stopped by to laugh at all these GMs in the comment section. I knew you guys would be complaining. LOL
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
AYFKM!!!! Sale the F#@kimg team already!!! This has got to be a F#@king joke!!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
And then there is Gruden pick
Wow.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
The Jags got our draft… Why didn’t we get Greedy? Greed is good.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
Trash
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
Wow dude. Two teams traded up and took OT in front of us. Both had first round grades. This corner we took had a 3rd to 4th round grade and we took him with the 7th pick in the 2nd round.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
Said last night I wouldn’t complain anymore during the draft…. not complaining at this point just laughing! Jags having nice draft .
April 26th, 2019 at 7:48 pm
Way to make even the draft miserable… Just when I was trying to be positive… sickening
April 26th, 2019 at 7:49 pm
Horrible pick again in the second round
He’s a 5th round talent
We ignore OL again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time to turn off the TV, they let Jason put the crayons down long enough to sneak a write in – what a joke
April 26th, 2019 at 7:49 pm
Dude is a baller!!!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:49 pm
Hope it is not a continuation of the 2nd round syndrome
April 26th, 2019 at 7:49 pm
Guys ‘ Bruce k owe what he is doing however I’d have rather seen us build front to back not back to front..the corner they got is a good player tho
April 26th, 2019 at 7:49 pm
AYFKM!!!! Sale the F#@kimg team already!!! This has got to be a F#@king joke!!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:49 pm
Ok?????? Well I guess we trust the process???? Wow, kinda scratching my head because I never heard if this kid but if he’s good and not slow I’m cool with it
April 26th, 2019 at 7:49 pm
Maybe Greedy Williams sucks? Seems like every team is passing on him over and over and over and over again…
April 26th, 2019 at 7:49 pm
Nobody is trying to be expert
The point is this kid could have Been had 10-20 spots later
April 26th, 2019 at 7:50 pm
Mike Mayock, Draft expert working for Gruden now…
ALSO PASSES ON GREEDY WILLIAMS for the 8th ranked CB.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:50 pm
You people seem to forget who is calling the shots. It’s your new beloved HC!!!!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:50 pm
Lots of people skipping on Grady, I wonder if there is something going on we don’t know about – or maybe he’s just not that good. He’s the only corner I knew anything about, had a ton of pre-combine hype, he’s 6’2 and runs a 4.3, so I really don’t know why he’s falling – but it’s not just the Bucs who skipped on him.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:50 pm
I laugh at you boobs laughing at picks when you have watched zero tape on these guys. You complain because you have miserable lives.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:50 pm
The Bucs just ruined the 2nd day of the draft for me! What a dumb a$$ John Gruden type move! Who in the hell is this guy? Is Jason aware of our HORRIBLE 2nd round picks? Joe PLEASE ask him that for the real fans that spend their money in that stadium! Whatever scout brought up that guy, should be fired!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:50 pm
Is everyone else as stunned as I am ? How is this allowed to continue. Cancel your tickets if you have them Force the Glazers to sell. This is embarrassing.
The other GM’s must laugh behind Lichts back constantly. He will go down as one of the worst GM’s in history.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:50 pm
BIRD – oh nonsense. So many crybabies acting like they can scout NFL talent.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:50 pm
I don’t know how to respond… Who?
April 26th, 2019 at 7:50 pm
What is our draft grade so far? I say B+
April 26th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
No one wants the non tackling Greedy Williams
April 26th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
I’m sure we’re BOTH freaking out right now Joe. DE Jaylon Ferguson as well as CB Greedy Williams were available & the Bucs take a CB named Sean Bunting? Walter Football ranked him as the #35 CB, and projected him to go in Rounds 5-7. Who let Jason Licht, the Gambler, back into the draft room?
April 26th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
This cb better be a beast Feels like a typical wasted pic by licht though I’m Trying to stay optimistic
April 26th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
@Jarhead Our GM doesn’t exactly have a great track record. If it looks like he reached on a player, it’s probably because he did and it makes sense for us to call him out.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
One expert had round 1 or 2
However most had at pick 50 plus
April 26th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5T1COfTaqw
April 26th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
I just don’t know what to think I waited all day and night hoping for Greedy, Ford, Risner, or Ferguson 3 of them on the board and we took who????????????? I’m just totally shock at this and ask why my team!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
Real head scratcher, there were 7 other CB’s rated higher than him. Sure hope there’s more to this than we know now Licht!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
Wt actual F
April 26th, 2019 at 7:51 pm
Nice to see the old JBF.com armchair GM’s providing their input.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:52 pm
There’s our annual blown 2nd rounder. It’s a cherished tradition.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:52 pm
This guy has a 5th round grade we could have grabbed him with the 3rd pick or later ! How about a trade down ? It’s a bucs life
April 26th, 2019 at 7:52 pm
This is a solid pick……study up on him before you comment….
He has 4.42 speed…..just like White @ 4.42……the fastest Buc Defenders…..
Moved up on everybody’s draft boards……
April 26th, 2019 at 7:52 pm
Remember all the rumors from months ago. Bucs wanted LB, DB, RB early. Every rumor about the Bucs has been right so far.
Are they really going to not draft a trench player in the first 3 picks?
April 26th, 2019 at 7:52 pm
Bunting is a Buc. Support his ass if you know what’s good for you.
Get to work baby.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:52 pm
This is a real head scratcher, there are 7 other CB’s rated higher than this kid!
Sure hope there’s more to this than we know now Licht!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:52 pm
So if our corners are Davis and Hargraves, did we just draft a nickel in rd 2?
April 26th, 2019 at 7:53 pm
Wow!! Licht strikes (out) again.
Could have traded back to get that Division 3 JAG and picked up Darrell Henderson (the best RB in the draft) for nothing
Now I’m pissed!
April 26th, 2019 at 7:53 pm
I’m not going to blast the pick because I called CB. Quick search, he is fast and a press corner…
April 26th, 2019 at 7:53 pm
Also LOL at everyone freaking out at a 2nd round CB like all the other ones haven’t fallen on their face before. Get a grip people.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:54 pm
Sean Bunting on the Draft Network 48th out of 100.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:54 pm
Yeah, apparently Mayock isn’t impressed with Grady either. If you’re going to go CB then get the one you feel is the best fit for your defense and apparently that’s Bunting. I like his tape. We’ll see how he pans out.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:54 pm
Well we can still blame Winston 13 times next season after we lose 34 – 28 each week.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:54 pm
Tut, it’s easy to press when you are playing Eastern Michigan(s) most of the time.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:54 pm
Ryan Smith is a great tackling corner, and he needs to be great since guys run right past him on every passing play. I’d rather have corners that can cover WRs. Again, don’t know if Greedy is any good since I watched zero film, but if the argument is he can’t tackle – so what? How about getting corners that can cover first, then teach them how to tackle.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:54 pm
Jason Licht likes to get way too cute with these high draft picks for my taste.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:55 pm
Really?
So we reach for a corner from an obscure school like Central Michigan that ended the season @ 1 – 11.
At least he’s already conditioned for losing
April 26th, 2019 at 7:56 pm
Read a few articles, Bunting is supposed to be the best press man corner in this draft class. Looks like we are going that way with the types of corners we have. Bunting was projected a top 40 pick with a lot of upside. Should be a starter by year two. I’m hoping he turns into a star for the Bucs.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:56 pm
Greedy is soft. Last thing this team needs is another dude who can’t tackle….Bunting plays violent!! We need that attitude….and he can cover…
April 26th, 2019 at 7:57 pm
How many corners do we have to draft in the first 2 rounds before we address the defensive LINE. Maybe I’m just freaking out right now but if you can’t get pressure on the QB, then it wont matter who’s back there… plus if you’re gonna go CB, why not get the guy who locked down Metcalf? Idk… just not excited…

CalBucsFan Says:
April 26th, 2019 at 7:52 pm
This is a real head scratcher, there are 7 other CB’s rated higher than this kid!
This is not a definite science buddy. Tytus Howard was picked at 23 in the 1st round and all lists I saw had about 5-8 tackles ahead of him as well as other Offensive lineman.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:57 pm
Bucs Fans , As I Said !!!
I am happy w the pick though
April 26th, 2019 at 7:59 pm
Jaylon Ferguson under a rookie contract was 100% worth the risk.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:59 pm
@Rod Munch – the other knock on Greedy is that he often gets too handsy with WRs as he’s running to keep up with them. I think this new Instant Replay rule where coaches can challenge if there was Pass Interference when it isn’t called may have something to do with his massive fall in the draft.
April 26th, 2019 at 7:59 pm
Geno the Bucs don’t pick based on Mel Kipers rating. They have their own. Every team does
April 26th, 2019 at 8:00 pm
DAMN… some you need to relax. Can’t blame Licht for a “bad pick.” B.A. is doing the shopping this draft ultimately. I will ride… like many of you… for our BUCS. Trust the process
Go BUCS
April 26th, 2019 at 8:00 pm
Contradicting scouting report – best coverage was zone but one of the best press man coverage. Not sure about his tackling, converted receivers may not be the best tacklers, but I am going to wait and see. Also saw him as a top 50 to a fourth round grade. What did BA call value
April 26th, 2019 at 8:00 pm
Sorry Geno……misread your post.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:01 pm
I swear to jeez….Why not get Greedy there??? Ludicrous.
Dion Sanders couldn’t tackle the English language (let alone a WR/RB or TE) coming out of FSU…But I think he was a pretty good CB in the NFL.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:01 pm
The excuse for all the DB was “coaching”. The talant we have is fine remember?
April 26th, 2019 at 8:01 pm
At Least we will be able to draft the Top QB Next year.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:01 pm
Shout out to 49ers for allowing Reggie Cobbs son to pick
April 26th, 2019 at 8:02 pm
Oh he runs a 4.42 why didnt you say so!?
Why don’t we just see what Jeff Demps is doing, he runs in the 4.3s.
Greedy ran a 4.3.
IDGAF what he runs, we plays in the MAC and was a day three value like MJ Stewart. F You Licht
April 26th, 2019 at 8:03 pm
There are three things certain in life:
Death
Taxes
Licht making a head scratching 2nd round pick
April 26th, 2019 at 8:04 pm
I’m open to the pick and cannot complain… “Bunting has continued to rise up the boards of the draft analysts. Many have him set as a second round pick. Bunting is considered one of the best press-man coverage cornerbacks in the draft.”
April 26th, 2019 at 8:06 pm
Yeah, im not judging…know nothing about him but im at a bar on my phone with low battery….I’ll look at Bunting later tonight after I get to my comp.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:07 pm
Since all off you experts don’t work in the NFL have a beer and get up when the alarm goes off at 530
April 26th, 2019 at 8:07 pm
One draft magazine had bunting as the 22nd best cb. They saw him as a 5th round pick!
April 26th, 2019 at 8:08 pm
Greedy is still there, I really do wonder if there’s something going on behind the scenes with him. Everywhere I looked he was considered a solid 1st rounder – but when everyone is skipping on you, it generally means something is up.
Oh well, lets hope Bunting can come in and start from day 1, because that’s what the Bucs need since Licht didn’t get any corners in FA yet again.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:09 pm
Licht never drafts the obvious pick. Greedy will probably be like Derwin James – an all pro his first year
April 26th, 2019 at 8:09 pm
Bet the Pats taking Jalen Ferguson
April 26th, 2019 at 8:09 pm
Bucs Bandit, I think you are 1000% correct, this is Bruce Arians’ draft.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:10 pm
This draft will be all NEED…
1st Rd: ILB to replace Kwon..Check.
2nd Rd: Slot Corner…Check.
3rd: complementary RB/Slot hybrid??? Tony Pollard – MEM
4th: 3-4 DE?? Jonathan Lebetter – UGA
5th: Small School player that no one expected
6th: Player coming of injury
7th: trade for late 7th & 6th Rnd pick in 2020
April 26th, 2019 at 8:10 pm
Wow, still no Greedy
April 26th, 2019 at 8:10 pm
Since all off you experts don’t work in the NFL have a beer and get up when the alarm goes off at 530 and have your coffee
April 26th, 2019 at 8:11 pm
Something has to be up with Greedy Williams if teams are still skipping on him.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:12 pm
You guys kill me because you were told greedy is so good. Why have all the other teams passed. The guy we drafted is a big physical corner who loves contact. He is a press man corner. On espn pick analysis they said he is a perfect fit for Todd Bowles scheme. And he should become a starter fairly quickly. What else would you want from a second round corner. And he runs a 4.4 and has had 9 interceptions the last two years. I like the pick he fits our scheme it doesn’t matter where people had him ranked. That is a general ranking and not a individual team scheme ranking. He was probably the best available press man physical corner. Who want greedy who is scared to tackle and is a diva. Trust the process. Are linebackers and secondary just got better and those were are biggest weaknesses coming into the draft.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:13 pm
a reach in the 2nd round, perfect
April 26th, 2019 at 8:13 pm
THE PATRIOTS JUST PASSED ON GREEDY FOR CB CLOSELY RATED AS BUNTING.
Maybe these real NFL executives/scouts actually know something half the crybaby armchair Bucs fans don’t.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:14 pm
On the positive side looking back the Bucs schedule and as far as opposing QB’s go, this is one of their easier seasons in a long long time, maybe Bunting will have a chance to develop before giving up 450 yards to Brees in week 5.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:15 pm
Oh wow, the Browns have that guy from Mars Attack announcing their pick.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:16 pm
I’m never against anybody that’s drafted to be a Buccaneer.
Let the kid play first.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:16 pm
BA- drafting for need will get you fired, you draft the best player?
So Bunting was the BPA?
Prepare to be fired Licht Weight.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:18 pm
4. SEAN BUNTING | Central Michigan 6003 | 195 lbs. | JR. Macomb, Mich. (Chippewa Valley) 6/19/1997 (age 21.86) #3
BACKGROUND: A no-star recruit out of high school, Sean Bunting was a three-sport letterman at Chippewa Valley, starring in baseball, basketball and football. He played both ways as a wide receiver and cornerback, but was better known for his offensive output, posting 51 catches for 873 yards and school-record 10 touchdowns as a senior. Bunting earned Honorable Mention All-State honors as a senior captain and led Chippewa Valley to the 2014 district championship. He was recruited by Division-II programs like Ferris State, Saginaw Valley State and Northwood, but wanted to play Division-I and Central Michigan came through with an offer a month before signing day. However, when Dan Enos resigned his post as head coach, Bunting was left in limbo. On signing day, he was set to sign with Saginaw Valley State, but held off and took one more run at Central Michigan. He visited new head coach John Bonamego, who offered him the opportunity to grayshirt. Bunting spent the 2015 football season helping at his high school and officially enrolled in January 2016. He spent time practicing at safety and wide receiver before moving to cornerback full-time during his freshman year. Bunting chose to skip his senior season and enter the 2019 NFL Draft.
YEAR (GP/GS) TKLS TFL SACK FF PD INT NOTES 2015: Grayshirted 2016: (12/1) 18 0.0 0.0 0 7 2 2017: (13/13) 49 0.5 0.0 2 10 5 2018: (12/11) 37 3.0 0.0 2 7 2 First Team All-MAC Total: (37/25) 104 3.5 0.0 4 24 9

STRENGTHS: Agile-footed athlete with swivel hips and balanced start/stop quickness…long-speed to recover and carry receivers vertically…above-average height/length for the position…matches up well vs. size on the outside…competes at the catch point and does receiver-like things in coverage…always ball searching…anticipates route breaks and recognizes play indicators…gets physical early in the down and takes pride in playing chippy…serviceable run defender…his coaches say he embraces leadership roles.
WEAKNESSES: Skinny limbs and lacks ideal body mass…marginal play strength and spends too much time hung up on blocks…impatient feet in press, allowing receivers to immediately gain a step…wasn’t asked to backpedal in CMU’s scheme…flexible body type, but tends to play upright in off-coverage instead of using his sink to drive…plays the man downfield, but can be late to find the ball…hands-on mentality will lead to flags.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:18 pm
Well if he turns out to be good he’s going to a team on the rise. I like Buntings tackling skills better.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:18 pm
It’s a passing league and greedy is fast and long and you don’t draft him
April 26th, 2019 at 8:18 pm
Was 29th rated overall player by one scout.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:20 pm
Hey geno711: I get it and agree it’s not a science, but hear me out. There are some VERY talented players still out there and can’t say I’ve heard anyone talk about this kid. He most likely would have been there in the 3rd round too, so I would rather have seen them take one of the top OL, WR (Metcalf), or RBs (Sanders) still on the board.
Besides, Central Michigan is in the MAC conference, did not play any top schools, won only one game and lost eleven, that’s right, they went 1 and 11 !!! I doubt there were that many teams lined up to draft anyone from that team.
As I said, sure hope there’s a deeper story to this than what we know now.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:21 pm
I don’t like any corner who’s weak on tackling. We need press corners who are strong against the run.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:21 pm
Licht should be fired for drafting a CB that wasn’t on the media Big Board? And you say this before the guy even sees a single play?
Do y’all even think before you share your obvisous kneejerk reactions?
April 26th, 2019 at 8:22 pm
Winovich if he’s still there in the 3rd….
April 26th, 2019 at 8:22 pm
Did Jim Brown say 2013 draft?
April 26th, 2019 at 8:23 pm
CalBucsFan – the fact that Bunting played for a MAC conference team that went 1-11 and was a decently rated CB (top 10 at the position) for the NFL Draft by all the major scouts says A LOT about his talent.
If he played for a team that was 1-11 he was probably on the field NON-STOP.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:23 pm
Don’t worry Buc fans will get our offensive line help from Humboldt or Hobart College in the third round
April 26th, 2019 at 8:24 pm
This center drafted by the Saints looks like a skinny Carl Nicks.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:25 pm
We have five young CBs on this team now. If this staff is worth a salt we can develope and play good football at that position.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:26 pm
Yes! Liking the Bunting pick based on what im reading so far…a boom out of left field and could work out like the Marpet pick…gj Bowles! And that’d be Bowles behind it…..get behind him guys, give him a chance 🙂
April 26th, 2019 at 8:26 pm
Well here is the opportunity for Devin White to make the players around him better. Go Bucs. Like we have said, the defense can’t get worse.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:27 pm
Greedy sucks…stop yappin.
But Bunting could have been had in late 3rd tonight…not sure why we let Risner and Jenkins go for Bunting NOW.
PLUS…if we don’t land David Montgomery or Miles Sanders before our next pick in round 3…fat sloppy Gump Stump Licht made yet again an even bigger foolish decision.
I get Bowles chose Bunting over others..I do…just wayyyyyy too early!!
April 26th, 2019 at 8:27 pm
Could be worse.
Could be raining.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:27 pm
Does Ferguson last another 21 picks?
April 26th, 2019 at 8:28 pm
JimmyJack – Ryan Smith is an abortion and Stewart has already been moved. I don’t know how you get to 5.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:29 pm
Bunting is a stud Slot CB. No doubt, just this he was taken a round early.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:29 pm
There was a huge run on corners….no way Bunting was going to last into the 3rd….just stop
April 26th, 2019 at 8:31 pm
Buc fans really are the worst and theirs a reason Greedy was passed by many others… I actually really like this pick and this kid has freakish skills and could finally shore up the CB position
April 26th, 2019 at 8:31 pm
I was laughing as Gruden and the Raiders traded down twice. Then both picks were OT. Why did the Bucs like Sean Bunting better than Greedy Williams?
April 26th, 2019 at 8:33 pm
Still a couple of good guard and tackle prospects out there. Fingers crossed the 3rd round falls into place for a good pick.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:33 pm
A reach just like all of last years picks
April 26th, 2019 at 8:34 pm
This was not the BPA at all positions when we are desperate for more than corner. Ferguson was the logical pick or even Josh Jacob were valued higher than Bunting. This was a reach. They’re all need picks
April 26th, 2019 at 8:35 pm
They could have picked Trayvon Mullen, if they had to have a CB, he was probably the best CB in the draft.
He was the MVP in the National Championship game against Alabama with 6 tackles, a sack and an interception. He never got a lot of stats in college because his opponents avoided him like the plague. He ran a 4.42 which would have him the fastest CB on the team.
I guess Licht missed the championship game because he was poking around the upper Michigan peninsula for prospects and his VHS machine was on the blink.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:36 pm
Bunting also runs a 4.42….FYI
April 26th, 2019 at 8:36 pm
To listen to some of y’all you’d think the Bucs were about to do something stupid… like trade back up into the 2nd round to draft a kicker.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:38 pm
Waiting until next year to draft a kicker, Ricky Aguayo is senior this year.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:38 pm
Don’t understand the Bunting pick. But that’s water under the bridge. Miles Sanders would be a great pick up if he is still there round 3.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:41 pm
Titans already drafted a replacement for Hump… maybe we can get him back in FA next year when he’s cut after finished the season with 464 yards.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:44 pm
Nearly 900 comments into draft coverage and it’s the first kicker comment I’ve noticed. Going to need a big rally to get past the over of 6.5….
April 26th, 2019 at 8:45 pm
It would be a complete lie if I tried to express an opinion on the player, as I didn’t watch a single CMU game in the kid’s career there. that having been said , I’ve been doing nothing but reading pre- draft coverage for months now and never heard of him once. Leads me to think that second round pick was a little early, no? As with any pick the Bucs make, I’ll root for the guy, but dang, did we just pass up a chance to improve either side of the trenches?
April 26th, 2019 at 8:46 pm
The best CB on the National Champion team where opponents treated him like Derelle Reavis in his prime or some slappy from a 1-11 Central Nobody State???
Fire Licht tonight!!
April 26th, 2019 at 8:46 pm
SON OF A B****
Phily took Miles Sanders
April 26th, 2019 at 8:53 pm
I’m glad we went defense-defense with our top 2.
This makes you wonder who they like at DL/Edge. Remember this is a historic DL class. They gotta have a target on somebody.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:53 pm
White + corner, so far the draft is going exactly as I expected.
I’m guessing an OG in the 3rd – but personally I’m getting another corner if there’s any value still on the board.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:55 pm
philly grabs sanders after trading for Howard for 5th rounder
building depth is a key and sign of a great GM
whats going to happen when Barber goes down?
we heading toward total tear down end of next year
April 26th, 2019 at 8:55 pm
I wish we could’ve traded down and still got this dude, but I’m ok with it. That report that geno put up mentioned that he was a three sport player. BA loves that in a player. Said so in his book. I watched his highlights on YouTube. He made a few pics when the QB was under pressure and forced a throw. I think that will play well with David and White, JPP and Nassib blowing up backfields (I really hope that happens). I know I’m a homer saying stuff like that but I’m ok with being called one
April 26th, 2019 at 8:56 pm
JimmyJack – If you believe the major site draft boards there’s still a good number of d-lineman still there that are highly rated for the position on the board. So short of a huge run on d-lineman they could get someone.
With that said I’m not sold they need anyone. They’re moving to a 3-4, they already have Vita and JPP and Nassib, and how often does a 3rd round DE break out and have a career worth noting? Once you’re in the 3rd you should be looking for guards, LBs and a corner.
April 26th, 2019 at 8:59 pm
G, RB? Whats the next move?
April 26th, 2019 at 9:02 pm
If you want Henderson or Singletary this will be the last shot. they won’t make it to the 4th round.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:02 pm
If the Bucs waste yet another pick on a RB then they’re really really stupid. Barber is good enough and you don’t throw away Jones already. Bucs need an OG, yet another corner, another starting LB, defensive and offensive line depth and maybe a S. RB is WAY down the needs list.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:04 pm
Munch if the Bucs don’t take advantage of one of the deepest DL drafts ever I call it a mistake.
JPP and Nassib are a decent start but you gotta add talent to that group because there’s none after them.
Without knowing I would guess there’s plenty of productive passrusher in the NFL that weren’t 1st or 2nd rounders.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:05 pm
Zach Allen!
April 26th, 2019 at 9:05 pm
Rod, I wouldn’t mind if they grabbed Jamel Dean CB at Auburn. Played next to Davis. Runs a 4.30. Don’t know if he’ll be there, but a solid press corner. Big.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:05 pm
Gotta go trenches!
April 26th, 2019 at 9:06 pm
JimmyJack – Quick research, but from what I see only 27% of 3rd round DL go on start a game. So you got a 73% of busting if that stat is correct.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:08 pm
Season tickets should be $12 for the 100 section and booze should be free… buckle up Bucs fans…its gonna be a loooooooooong year!!!
April 26th, 2019 at 9:09 pm
Oh well, Hill to the Cowboys, hoping that would be trade of McCoy (if he was going to be traded)
April 26th, 2019 at 9:09 pm
if you connect the dots…. the modus operendam has been … sign the big contract play just enough … bide your time … each contract year … in other words …milk the cow . …. til the next contract ….. get a boo boo and ….ya gott a pay me …. maybe some real accountability will happen …play or we cut your arrsss…………
April 26th, 2019 at 9:09 pm
Munch the thinking would be that drafting a DL this year would give a lower bust rate because it is a deep group…….Mabye the Bucs disagree with the consensus opinion on that. We’ll see.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:11 pm
JimmyJack – This is a high bar, but more research, there’s one DE in the HOF that was drafted in the 3rd, Elvin Bethea (never heard of him). Anywho that’s the same number of guys as were drafted in the 14th and 15th round.
In general if someone has the talent to go early, they go early, then it’s just a dart throw after the 1st round. Not saying you avoid a good player because of that, but I don’t generally think of getting good defensive lineman in the 3rd.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:13 pm
Buccfan305 – The last season tickets I had, in 1997, were $150, so $15 a game. No free booze however.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:19 pm
Still no word if Licht has been fired yet. The Glazers better hurry up, Round 3 is starting soon.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:19 pm
Munch……also remember that I didn’t strictly say DE.
Any Edge player will go. It could be a LB in Bowles defense.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:21 pm
I don’t think this Bunting kid makes the team, any team.
He couldn’t make a real college roster.
If he gets the old Licht 2nd round pass, he’ll be a bench warmer like Spence, Jones, Stewart etc….
Fire Licht tonight
April 26th, 2019 at 9:23 pm
@Rod Munch
At least we won in those days!!
April 26th, 2019 at 9:25 pm
Arian…….How about we just expect this kid to perform up to his draft status…….For what it’s worth most Bucs fans praised Licht when he drafted Spence. Point is that fan opinion means next to nothing for a drafted kid that hasn’t played a down of football.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:26 pm
DK Metcalf is still on the board, in his profile it says he runs a 4.33 and “he’s built like Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans.”
I’d take that.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:28 pm
Arian….the kid doesn’t make the team? SMH….unbelievable!
April 26th, 2019 at 9:31 pm
Nevermind.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:32 pm
I agree with Munch that running back is way down the list of needs.
I like still some offensive lineman and safeties.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:33 pm
Bucs will go OL in with their 3rd round pick
April 26th, 2019 at 9:35 pm
Well there goes Allen
April 26th, 2019 at 9:35 pm
I would take a chance on Ferguson now.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:36 pm
Ferguson in round three please
April 26th, 2019 at 9:37 pm
Ferguson would be a great consolation prize
April 26th, 2019 at 9:38 pm
Ferguson!!!!!
April 26th, 2019 at 9:41 pm
Buc’s draft grade F-
Watch Licht pick a male cheerleader in the 3rd
That’s what he got in the 2nd
April 26th, 2019 at 9:41 pm
Dre’mont Jones, Khalen Saunders, Renel Wren… please
April 26th, 2019 at 9:42 pm
2nd round has been great to us. We took a corner and after there has been a run on DBs and WR.
I bet the Bucs are loving their options right now. They might even trade back.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:42 pm
TO says Jaylon and my heart sunk. go get the Ferguson Licht.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:42 pm
G/C McGovern is still available. He would be a great pick
April 26th, 2019 at 9:43 pm
Payasito complaining…shocker.
And he left to follow chip the dip kelley with the eagles, then I assume the 49ers. I guess his prediction of chip the dip transforming the NFL is not happening. Maybe at ucla he can do something…other than an 0-5 start.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:43 pm
Chase Winovich?
April 26th, 2019 at 9:43 pm
LMAO ArianNation
Has to be Winovich. He can get at the QB and worse case scenario he has the hair to be a cheerleader
April 26th, 2019 at 9:43 pm
Fudge, Polite is gone
April 26th, 2019 at 9:44 pm
Missed Polite … ugh.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:44 pm
For the love of God please don’t let the Bucs take Jaylon Ferguson…
April 26th, 2019 at 9:45 pm
Ferguson looks like the pick to\me
April 26th, 2019 at 9:45 pm
Bucs on the board… quick, go to break…
April 26th, 2019 at 9:45 pm
Winovich would be a great pick
April 26th, 2019 at 9:45 pm
What is the appeal of Ferguson? We’re going to run a 3-4, and he’s too small to be a DE and too slow to be a edge rusher – at least based on the numbers that’s what I’m seeing.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:46 pm
I wanted Ferguson in the 2nd. Steal if we can get him here.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:46 pm
Looks like the Bucs pick during a commercial again.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:47 pm
Rams might have traded with the Bucs
April 26th, 2019 at 9:48 pm
No point in even trying to guess the pick. I’m just rolling with the flow.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:48 pm
Traded the pick to LA
April 26th, 2019 at 9:48 pm
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson??
April 26th, 2019 at 9:48 pm
Bucs got 94 and 99 from the Rams
April 26th, 2019 at 9:49 pm
Bucs trade: Pick 70.
Rams trade: Pick 94 and 99.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:49 pm
turn one 3rd round pick into two. I like it
April 26th, 2019 at 9:49 pm
We traded back
April 26th, 2019 at 9:49 pm
Trade!
April 26th, 2019 at 9:51 pm
Dumb
April 26th, 2019 at 9:51 pm
So basically an early 3rd for two early 4ths… It’s OK value, not bad. There seems to be a lot of players out there still, and the Bucs have LOTS of needs, so not bad.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:51 pm
I don’t like the trade. Fire Licht tonight.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:52 pm
From 6 to 31 and 36 in Rd 3 … did we get more than that?
April 26th, 2019 at 9:52 pm
I
April 26th, 2019 at 9:52 pm
Man there’s a lot of drunkards in Nashville, looks like a fun place, at least if you stay within a half mile of that downtown party area. The other of the city looks gray painted on gray.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:52 pm
Why wouldn’t Jason Licht get there 79th pick in the third. Move back 24 spots
April 26th, 2019 at 9:53 pm
Dang
I wanted him.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:53 pm
so we are done tonight?
April 26th, 2019 at 9:53 pm
Licht just traded away Henderson. Fire him on sight.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:54 pm

nevermind
April 26th, 2019 at 9:54 pm
Man, the Rams don’t give Gurley the ball in the SB then trade two 3rds to draft a RB… What a slap in the face. Gurley should demand a trade to the Bucs.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:54 pm
94 & 99 are both 3rd round picks.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:55 pm
Rams get 240 points and we get 232 according to one draft chart. That’s not even equal compensation…what the?!
April 26th, 2019 at 9:56 pm
wait a minute we just moved back damn near 100 spots for what?
April 26th, 2019 at 9:56 pm
Dewey – The two picks are technically 3rds, I said early 4ths since one would be a 4th without the comp picks and the other is the second to last in the 3rd. So still two more picks tonight.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:56 pm
The stupidest GM in professional football just traded the best RB in the draft (Henderson) to the Rams for the 94th pick in the draft and a transgender cheerleader.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:57 pm
Are you f’ing kidding me with that trade?
April 26th, 2019 at 9:58 pm
Awful trade…….This is final straw with Licht drafting. Fire him now while we can still salvage what little Licht has left us with.
April 26th, 2019 at 9:58 pm
Im going to hold out hope that Chase Winovich and Renell Wren slide to the end of the 3rd. Big upgrades to pass rush if it happens.
Then get a RB and maybe WR depth tomorrow
April 26th, 2019 at 9:59 pm
I really wanted Henderson
April 26th, 2019 at 10:01 pm
Y’all some freaking idiots, that’s a damn good trade!! One 3rd turned into Two 3rd rd picks….LOL
Do y’all even root for the Bucs or just troll
April 26th, 2019 at 10:02 pm
Another favor to a NFC rival. Dreadful. Good night Buccos. Sorry we are fans of an organization that insists on torturing it’s clientele.
APB for Eddie De!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 26th, 2019 at 10:02 pm
It’s two 3s people
April 26th, 2019 at 10:02 pm
Fireeee Licht!
April 26th, 2019 at 10:02 pm
BTW why did we have Dilfer announce our 2nd rounder? Haven’t we been through enough as Bucs fans?
April 26th, 2019 at 10:03 pm
Jason Dooofus Duncecap Licht! Go Stand in the corner for the rest of the draft.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:03 pm
Jarhead – It’s really a 3rd and a 4th, at least to me, I don’t count comp picks as being part of the previous round, they’re the start of the next round.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:06 pm
I hear you Rod but that pick is being made tonight!! IJS
April 26th, 2019 at 10:07 pm
An early 3rd for a late 3rd and comp pick (really 4th) is NOT a good trade value!! There is a reason a chart exists with points for each pick. They aren’t equal throughout the round! Terrible trade with quality players available!
April 26th, 2019 at 10:08 pm

Trade down was good move there…
April 26th, 2019 at 10:09 pm
Lol. Changing rules.
Comp picks are at the end of the round. Just silly comments.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:09 pm
There is no way to value the trade till we see who we get in return
April 26th, 2019 at 10:10 pm
I don’t really have an issue with the trade, it’s a tiny bit less than what I’d want, but it’s not awful. Plus looking at the board I didn’t see anyone real standout that fits the team. They don’t need a RB, they shouldn’t be wasting a pick on a RB, and they still need another corner and a starting LB and perhaps a starting OG and Bobo is our #3 WR (I don’t think Perriman is a legit #3, he got cut from the Redskins last year and the Redskins had the worst collection of WRs in the NFL).
April 26th, 2019 at 10:11 pm
Let’s see who we get before we evaluate…..players we wanted at 70 were probably gone…..so why not trade back for an extra pick?
April 26th, 2019 at 10:12 pm
So the Rams move up 24 spots, grab Henderson pick again at 79 and only give up a comp pick. wow, and here go the other top 2 rb’s right behind Henderson.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:13 pm
and Winovich is gone.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:13 pm
The Bucs have obviously improved their D as they addressed 2 need areas with their first 2 picks.
However, the problem is that Light does not maximize his draft capital.
He should have traded back and probably still would have been able to get White.
The same with the CB Bunting. No problem picking him–but trade back and get extra picks.
And yet when Light finally does trade back….he trades back too far.
Giving up the #70 pick should have garnered more than a #94 and #99.
The value just is not there.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:13 pm
Patriots just took who I wanted.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:13 pm
Now they can get a developmental qb with a low 3 rd pick…lol
April 26th, 2019 at 10:13 pm
Well, Fabio is off the board.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:13 pm
We should have just drafted with our pick. Because now Licht with two picks he will for sure take a small school offensive lineman. That everyone else has rated as a 6-7th round pick.

April 26th, 2019 at 10:15 pm
We didn’t even get equal value in that trade. Should have also got their 6th round pick. Shows that we were more desperate for the trade than they were. And we could have had Winovich.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:16 pm
You know Licht LOVES this guy…
OG Nate Davis
6’3″
316 lbs
Charlotte
I didn’t know there were any schools in Charlotte that go past 3rd grade.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:16 pm
Goodwin and Beckwith seemed to be good 3rd round values for Licht.
Also, the Alex Cappa 3rd round value is still up in the air whether that will be value for the Bucs.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:16 pm
I saw the Nate Davis thing also and wondered if that was a guy we were looking at.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:17 pm
Licht should try to flip one of the 3rd’s for a 2nd next year…. then next year try to flip the 2nd for a 1st….
BOOM! You just made a 3rd rounder into a 1st and 3rd. That’s value!

April 26th, 2019 at 10:18 pm
I mean, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson is still on the board… what are the chances they double-dip at DB?
April 26th, 2019 at 10:19 pm
i think bunting was a result of licht not being prepared of teams jumping over him and selecting but targets
April 26th, 2019 at 10:20 pm
Ludicrous – Now now, it’s 2019, if you’re not down with taking it in the rear you’re literally a NAZI. Tread carefully.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:20 pm
bucs targets
April 26th, 2019 at 10:20 pm
A trade is meant for the team that moves back to get the value…not the other way around. Unless you are the Bucs GM!
April 26th, 2019 at 10:21 pm
I’m just here to troll the trolls!!
You guys are freaking hilarious, it’s sad that you come here to complain about everything the team does.
How is changing one third round pick into two a bad trade?? Because we moved down 24 picks?? SMH They obviously like multiple guys they believe will be there later in the round. And now they get two of them!!! Trolls
April 26th, 2019 at 10:21 pm
Still remember Arizona wanting Ameer Abdullah as a running back and were so pissed that they missed on him in the 2nd round (Detroit 2 picks before them) and “settled” for David Johnson in the 3rd round. You never know on a lot of these guys until you seem them against the top level competition.

Apparently BA wanted the WR that the Steelers drafted. I will take a trade down over a WR 1000000%
April 26th, 2019 at 10:24 pm
@ Jarhead… oorah brother
April 26th, 2019 at 10:25 pm
This is why the Bucs pick top 5 just bout every year and haven’t made the playoffs in 10 years.
Crappy drafts.
Because we have crappy owners who hire crappy GM’s.
Make no mistake…our GM stinks.
Look at the results.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:27 pm
The sky isn’t falling but the moves our GM makes are very questionable or usually doesn’t pan out. Unless the player falls in our laps. His record and ours speaks for itself!
April 26th, 2019 at 10:27 pm
If the Bucs start winning does that mean Licht is not a dumbass?
April 26th, 2019 at 10:28 pm
I just tried a dab pen for the first time in my life. I highly suggest it. lol
April 26th, 2019 at 10:28 pm
Renell Wren and Christian Miller is my new hope.
I will take the risk of Christian Miller’s knees over Jaylon Ferguson’s stiffness any day of the week
April 26th, 2019 at 10:29 pm
I also like how the entire offseason we talked about how BA and Bowles were calling the shots.
As soon as things go “bad” it’s Licht’s fault lol
April 26th, 2019 at 10:30 pm
So for all the people that were pushing for Jaylon Ferguson in the 2nd round what do you all say now that he is still not taken?
April 26th, 2019 at 10:30 pm
I say take Ferguson in the 6th
April 26th, 2019 at 10:31 pm
Nate Davis is gone… Licht is going to have to look for a D4 guy now…
April 26th, 2019 at 10:34 pm
There’s literally nothing that has gone wrong.
White was the correct pick.
Bunting seemed a bit overvalued, but then all the guys around him went right after him, meaning he wasn’t overvalued.
Trading a 3rd for a late 3rd and a top 4th isn’t bad value.
Those panicking are fake news, more annoying than this stupid GM truck commercial.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:35 pm
On the Chase Stuart Draft Value Chart, the Buccaneers gave up one pick worth 7.5 points in the trade with the Rams and picked up two worth a total of 11.0 points.
Bucs win trade value on that arbitrary chart. As if a trade value chart really matters – Idiots.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:36 pm
Semper Fi Tut
April 26th, 2019 at 10:36 pm
Joey, Ba and Bowles are picking the player, Licht is making the moves. we just lost out on 3 RB’s. but we’ll see what Licht does at 94 and 99.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:40 pm
Nobody was calling for BA and Bowles head when Bunting was picked, thats all Im saying.
And as far as the trade goes, would you rather trade down and get a 3rd and a 5th or two 3rds? I’ll take the longer drop for two 3rds.
Bucs have 3 picks in a 13 pick span (94, 99, 107). They could get 3 contributors in the meat of the draft.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:40 pm

after several hours of the draft the bucs got white who fell into their laps and a project cb who “might start in year 1” . great drafting
April 26th, 2019 at 10:45 pm
Another rb gone. BA wasn’t lying about faith in Barber.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:46 pm
100% I would have drafted Ferguson LONG before I traded pick 70. This is a blunder
April 26th, 2019 at 10:47 pm
Connor McGovern
Renell Wren
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson
Those 3 guys can step in and contribute in my opinion. McGovern cancompete for the RG spot. Wren can develop into GMC’s replacement. CGJ is arguably the best S in the class. He can be the do-it-all type of S that Bowles’ loves.
April 26th, 2019 at 10:49 pm
I have a feeling we will take Holyfield as our RB pick
April 26th, 2019 at 10:51 pm

April 26th, 2019 at 10:54 pm

April 26th, 2019 at 10:55 pm
BLAH McGovern is gone
I hate the Cowboys
April 26th, 2019 at 10:57 pm

April 26th, 2019 at 11:00 pm
Chauncey looks like great value here.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:02 pm
Hope we get better value in rd 3 then tge 2nd rd pick
April 26th, 2019 at 11:02 pm
Still a lot of value on the board and the Bucs have 3 of the next 13 picks. Trade looks great imo
April 26th, 2019 at 11:05 pm
I like that pick
April 26th, 2019 at 11:05 pm
Size speed and athleticism
April 26th, 2019 at 11:05 pm
There we go, just as I was thinking – another corner.
Look at the depth chart if you have a problem with this.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:05 pm
Raise the White Flag!
April 26th, 2019 at 11:06 pm
Nice–another CB.
Upgrading a serious need with multiple picks.
Need some DL/OL and a RB.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:06 pm
So our coaches realized our corners sucked
April 26th, 2019 at 11:06 pm
I am OK with this Pick. Always need CB depth and special teams players. Size, Speed and Athleticism.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:07 pm
If we have to pick 2 cb’s what does it say about Licht drafting all the others?
April 26th, 2019 at 11:07 pm
Good pick
April 26th, 2019 at 11:07 pm
If I’m the Bucs, it’s a LB, or if the value isn’t there I’m drafting ANOTHER corner.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:07 pm
With the 94th pick of the NFL Draft Gump picks a Gimp!!
Brilliant, he’s only has two bad knees.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:08 pm
LUV the Dean pick if we were in the hunt for a Super Bowl this year.
Like the Cadillac Williams pick years ago. U can’t depend on a kid availability longterm after 3 major knee surgeries at a young age.
Especially with the following still on the board
-D’Andre Walker
-Amani Oruwariye
-Amani Hooker
-Charles Omenihu
April 26th, 2019 at 11:08 pm
for the love of god go trenches with the next 2 picks
April 26th, 2019 at 11:09 pm
Dewey Selmon – All you have is Davis at corner, you can’t count on VH3 being healthy. Regardless you need at least 3 corners, and it’s unlikely VH3 is back next year. The defensive backfield tanked this team, they got pressure, they got good LB play, the defensive backs were God awful. This is needed, badly. The downside is rookie corners rarely do much, it takes a year to develop them.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:09 pm
More corners. why not?
April 26th, 2019 at 11:10 pm
What is that 6 DB’s drafted in the last 2 years?
April 26th, 2019 at 11:10 pm
bucs just drafted the jamal charles of cbs
April 26th, 2019 at 11:11 pm
Fingers crossed for kicker or a TE
He has to go OL now. Cajuste is the guy!
April 26th, 2019 at 11:11 pm
We are getting faster……..4.3 40……wow…..
This probably spells the end of one of our current corners…..maybe 2….
April 26th, 2019 at 11:11 pm
oxycondoms – I’ll take it, Jamal Charles was an all-pro.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:11 pm
Glad we went defense heavy.
We got our Captain. Now keep building around him.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:11 pm
we could of had Richer for 10 years at OL and a cb. we had to double up on cb to fix all the bums Light has already wasted draft picks on.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:11 pm
U can’t depend on a kid longterm availability – after 3 major knee surgeries at such a young age.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:12 pm
Second kicker comment… man, going to really need to hustle to hit the 6.5 over…
April 26th, 2019 at 11:12 pm
Unless they liked what they saw with Cappa with those one on one’s they did with him this week, they’ll go OL with the next pick. They could be high on Leitke though. He showed some toughness last season. Sharping out of Illinois could be in play.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:12 pm
Is that 5 cb’s in 2 years?
April 26th, 2019 at 11:14 pm
Renell Wren please. Dru Samia or Yodney Cajuste works too
April 26th, 2019 at 11:15 pm
I don’t understand what they are trying to do. What is a value pick anyway? You should not be drafting for depth on day two after going 5-11 two years in a row, You should’ve looking for starters. I would love to know how they will fit Geraldine under the cap since they have completely avoided any line help.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:17 pm
another DB, jesus christ
April 26th, 2019 at 11:17 pm
There we go, another DB! BOOM!
This defensive backfield was an abortion – rebuild it!
With that said no idea if these guys are any good.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:17 pm
What?
OL and DL being ignored.
Games are won/lost in the trenches.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:17 pm
6 secondary players in 2 years. it’s like invasion of db’s.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:17 pm
Fix that secondary baby, I love it!!
April 26th, 2019 at 11:18 pm
You don’t understand what they’re doing? Have you looked at the depth chart?
April 26th, 2019 at 11:18 pm
Don’t think many saw this as the plan.
Bowles wanted to rebuild the secondary. Switching to 3-4 we all finda figured the Front 7 would get the attention.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:19 pm
All Licht’s pick are being phases out by BA and Bowles.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:19 pm
Another safety? Why not.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:19 pm
Defensive line you have JPP, McCoy, Vita, Nassib… what exactly is the issue? Just keep McCoy and you’re in great shape.
On the offense line they must think Cappa isn’t a bust yet.
Regardless this team didn’t lose games because of the offensive and defensive line, it lost games because it had Ryan Smith and Chris Conte starting.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:19 pm
I am not going to freak out about these picks, but I just can’t fathom ignoring the OL and DL in the first 3 rounds.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:19 pm
I think a Jaws reference would be appropriate at this point.
“We’re gonna need a bigger bench!”
April 26th, 2019 at 11:20 pm
All these DB’s are just admitting that Licht had dogspit DB drafts in the past 2-3 years.
Draft a crapload of DB’s and hope you hit on a couple.
Good grief!
No idea why the Glazers let this guy come back.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:20 pm
Mike Edwards — poor guy has no chance to be liked by the bucs fans as NFL.com writer compared him to MJ Stewart.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:21 pm
Interesting pick for S. CHAUNCEY GARDNER was available at this pick. But they felt MIKE EDWARDS was the better pick. Seems to be an aggressive guy who likes to blitz. I’m seeing the pattern. Wonder if we continue in Rd 4 or not.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:22 pm
This isn’t a rebuilding of the secondary, it is a complete overhaul.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:22 pm
geno711 – Unless Edwards runs a 4.85 he can’t be compared to Stewart.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:22 pm
Bowles must hate our secondary and told BA to just blow it the F up!
April 26th, 2019 at 11:22 pm
Mike Edwards:
STRENGTHS: Fluid athlete to flip his hips and stay balanced mid-transition…adequate range for the position…rarely allows himself to be beaten over the top…trusts his vision and has a feel for route combinations…posted 10 career interceptions (with 146 return yards and two touchdowns)…takes accurate angles to the football in run support…active blitzer, skimming blocks to make backfield stops…excellent tackle production (318), ranking second-best in Kentucky history among defensive backs…durable and his coaches speak highly of his toughness…two-year team captain and graduated with a bachelor’s degree (December 2018).
WEAKNESSES: Average size and build for the position…lacks the recovery burst or finishing speed to cut off vertical routes…choppy pedal in reverse…resorts to grabbing when he panics…often plays too deep and allows excess spacing in front of him…needs to widen his vision…doesn’t explode as a hitter…needs to shore up his tackling mechanics in motion to avoid misses downhill…suffered a broken right thumb (January 2019) at the Senior Bowl.
SUMMARY: A four-year starter at Kentucky, Edwards covered a lot of ground as the Wildcats’ field safety and nickel defender, lining up in the slot. He didn’t miss a game the last four seasons and finished his career with 300-plus tackles and 10-plus interceptions (Wyoming’s Andrew Wingard and Wisconsin’s T.J. Edwards are the only other prospects in the 2019 draft class who can also say that). Edwards had excellent tackle production despite patrolling a variety of zones, showcasing his toughness and versatility. He is a good enough athlete that he won’t get blown off the ball, but he will labor vs. speed, giving up space vs. savvy route-runners. Overall, Edwards doesn’t have an elite trait, but his instincts and movements in space allow him to handle various secondary responsibilities, projecting best as a third safety on the depth chart with nickel versatility and core special teams skills.

There will be a fight for starters in the secondary for sure. Competition drives greatness!

HAHAHAHA love how NFL.com (under his Profile Write-up) says his closest current NFL comparison is “M.J. Stewart” . (like geno just posted)
You can’t make this stuff up.

Davis and Evans are the only two defensive backs on the team that you should be OK with starting, and Davis shouldn’t be a #1, at least not at this point. VH3 is a huge question mark and corners are way too expensive to buy in FA.
The Bucs have to do this if they’re going to have a chance at having a decent defense a year from now. The downside is I don’t think these young guys help much this year.

It sure would have been good if they thought to go DB with Derwin instead of DL with Vita last year. Then this year they would have been free to draft DL instead of DB in a DL-heavy draft
Oh well. Tis the life of a Bucs fan
April 26th, 2019 at 11:24 pm
I’m done with these jack a$$es! One of the worst running game in the league and we draft another 3 dbs???! Go rays!
April 26th, 2019 at 11:26 pm
King C – That’s a fair point, and James had more sacks than Vita last year on top of it.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:27 pm
Mike Edwards had a 4.53 40 at his pro day and 37 vertical – so yes better than MJ for sure.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:28 pm
So Bucs have put a first-rounder, four second-rounders, two thirds and two fourths into defensive secondary in last four drafts.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:28 pm
So nickel has 5 db’#s
Dime is 6 db’s
What are we gonna be playing with 8 or 9 db’s???
April 26th, 2019 at 11:30 pm
A hidden benefit to this draft is that our Special Teams better be rockin.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:33 pm
Everything Im reading about Mike Edwards reminds me of Jonathan Abram. Especially from a leadership standpoint.
I mean, I like the picks, I just think we have too many holes to go DB 3 straight picks.
April 26th, 2019 at 11:35 pm
If GMC was gonna be gone, I thought for sure they would draft a DT early to replace him. It’s a deep DL class and there are still some solid DTs left (Been saying Renell Wren all night), but I would’ve liked to see them invest more of a premium pick into it.
Gotta trust the coaches on this one
April 26th, 2019 at 11:40 pm
So is the plan to just invest the draft capital into DBs so Bowles can reformat the secondary as they switch to the 3-4? I don’t get it.

COMING RIGHT UP FOR THE BUCS:
WILL GRIER, QB, UNIVERSITY OF WEST VIRGINIA!
Where you at Bandit???????
WRONG AGAIN LITTLE BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!
April 27th, 2019 at 12:32 am
Ndog – they could still end up drafting him (or another QB).
Either way, your loverboy Winston is done in Tampa soon. Can’t wait to make sure you never forget it either for being such a Winston homer.
April 27th, 2019 at 1:42 am
EDIT: Just saw Grier was drafted right after the Bucs last pick (I stopped watching the Draft). Either way, Bucs could still draft another QB. But it doesn’t matter. Winston will get replaced. BOOK IT.
