April 25th, 2020 at 12:18 pm
You really can’t look at much of what’s going on without considering the Gronk signing…..
A fourth round draft pick and $10 mil looms very large on our roster…
I’m not complaining….just pointing out the impact on what’s going on.
I realize Brady will be more comfortable in the offense with Gronk there but we don’t need 3 good TEs……we must move OJ or Brate…..
April 25th, 2020 at 12:20 pm
@Tampabaybucfan
I certainly have reservations about it, but if it gets us a ring, all is worth it.
April 25th, 2020 at 12:21 pm
We can’t even get a couple
Of 4’s for Howard….. watch he will have the same type of yr then we cut him. Now way we pay his 5th yr option he is not worth it.
April 25th, 2020 at 12:22 pm
Trey Adams in the 5th. Was once a projected top 10 pick until he had a back injury and missed most of that season, but he decided to go back to school this past year and played well. Tons of upside as a backup tackle in the NFL and a future starter
April 25th, 2020 at 12:23 pm
We have 4 picks today. Seems like not much talent left. However, some always emerge in the undrafted group each year – so got to be alert. May be a gem or two in there.
April 25th, 2020 at 12:32 pm
Noticed some people upset about Vaughn saying Eno Benjamin better. He’s still there atm. Double up at RB or T with Bartch? Obvious choices could be a QB slipping, but if not Dline would be nice
April 25th, 2020 at 12:33 pm
Another RB and WR today.
April 25th, 2020 at 12:34 pm
Trent Williams traded to SF for a round 5 and round 3 draft pick? How can this type of thing happen for SF but not for the Bucs?
April 25th, 2020 at 12:36 pm
Trent Williams salary and maybe we’d have tried it if we hadn’t had Wirfs fall. After Rd 1 our oline is in pretty good shape. Our oline already has so many highly paid guys on it. Need to get younger imo
April 25th, 2020 at 12:36 pm
Going to be a WR in Round 5, right?
April 25th, 2020 at 12:38 pm
Hold on to OJ for the time being. If a team has an injury in training camp, he’ll have more value for a 2021 pick than going fire sale on him. It speaks volumes that he hasn’t reached out to Brady. Like GMC, this is a guy who likes being a football player a whole lot more than he likes playing football.
April 25th, 2020 at 12:38 pm
@Coburn
Thanks Coburn. Really nice explanation and makes a lot of sense.
April 25th, 2020 at 12:41 pm
NFL GM Lynch is putting on a clinic!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s to hard to win in this league with a below avg gm!!!!!!! Too many offseason of only adding 1 “real” nfl pl as year to to the roster!!!!!!! Meanwhile the sheep are throwing out A’s just because the Bucs participated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sad times in buc history!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go bucs!!!!!!!!
April 25th, 2020 at 12:42 pm
I’ve said it b4….john Lynch should be our GM!!!!!
April 25th, 2020 at 12:49 pm
Panthers are building for defense this draft. They are going to be killer. Good thing our QB is better!
April 25th, 2020 at 12:55 pm
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Colts took Eason.
April 25th, 2020 at 12:56 pm
NFLN is 3 picks behind…
April 25th, 2020 at 12:58 pm
Lot of people saw Jacob Eason in a big-time vertical offense like Arians, but I never did. You have to have some pocket fortitude for an offense like Arians, Eason doesn’t. He’s best in play-action, run-oriented offense throwing short-intermediate. Game manager type imo.
April 25th, 2020 at 12:58 pm

April 25th, 2020 at 1:07 pm
Please get Fromm. We need a QB to develop under Brady. If dumbass wouldn’t have traded up to get a OT and gave away a 4th rounder, we’d be much better off. Licht is an idiot.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:09 pm
Who will be our future QB after the Brady retirement? Brady needs to either stay after 2 years or we better start dropping hints to Rodgers that we are here for him if he needs us in the future.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:11 pm
Go get deeJay Dallas from the U
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqrHFncH3dM
April 25th, 2020 at 1:11 pm
DeeJay Dallas from the U
speed can catch and return kicks
April 25th, 2020 at 1:12 pm
McFarland looked pretty good I thought. First run against Ohio St. I never trust scouts on running back evals so it’s no surprise he was that low.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:13 pm
I don’t see any reason why Bucs will draft a QB, they’ve 3 QB on their roster.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:14 pm
Elita, c’mon, the Bucs can’t afford Trent Williams.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:14 pm
I don’t see any reason why Bucs will draft a QB, they’ve 3 QB on their roster.. They need to add depth to DL
April 25th, 2020 at 1:19 pm
Eason and Morgan are now gone. I am not seeing anyone else necessarily looking for a QB. Fromm may be there when we pick at 166.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:26 pm
@christopherschiefen
Thanks Chris, but Coburn explained this much earlier, more thoroughly and much kinder than you did.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:28 pm
The Bucs couldn’t get TRENT WILLIAMS for a 3rd and 5th pick???
April 25th, 2020 at 1:29 pm
Oh shoot! Sorry Elita, didn’t think it came off as mean, my bad.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:32 pm
Morgus the Magnificent Says
“The Bucs couldn’t get TRENT WILLIAMS for a 3rd and 5th pick?”
Dude. He’s 31. We have a LT and we would not be able to afford Williams contract anyway.
Smith is all dead cap this year.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:37 pm
Sheesh! NFLN is 8 picks behind! This sucks, lol.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:41 pm
All you clowns dogging Licht need to GET A CLUE.
The guy has brought us Brady & Gronk and was able to bring back JPP & Suh. He also found diamond in the rough Shaq Barrett, and had one of the best of all time (possibly) 3rd round picks in Chris Godwin.
Draft picks are always hit and miss. Show me a single GM with no flop picks? They don’t exist.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:43 pm
It’s funny how the NFL scouts are selling Fromm short because of perceived deficiencies. The same deficiencies that dogged Brees, Brady, Cousins, Dalton and numerous other QB’s that have started and been successful. He might never play a down in the NFL but there is a reason that he beat out Jacob Eason and Justin Fields. The kid obviously has moxie and his arm strength was never an issue his first two years at Georgia when he had a capable offensive coordinator and talent around him. It will be interesting to see how he develops if he continues to slide and the Bucs draft him instead of another DB or Kicker.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:46 pm
No to drafting a QB. I think Griffin is capable of learning from Brady. He already knows the offense
P. S. Joe please help. All my comments immediately go to moderation now. Can’t interact with the group like this. Is it because I changed my name? I’ll change it back. My old phone broke, using same Gmail. Love the site. Thanks
April 25th, 2020 at 1:49 pm
@Morgus,
Trent Williams has declined a trade to the Vikings for a 2nd round pick. He has a no trade clause with Washington.
Williams has a history with Kyle Shanahan and with Joe Staley calling it quits in SF Williams will play for the Niners.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:59 pm
Redskins trade Trent Williams (FINALLY) to Niners for a 5th THIS year, and a third NEXT year. I bet the Bucs offered far better than that. Certainly OJ was part of it. I expect Donovan Smith might have been part of it. Skins were too greedy
April 25th, 2020 at 2:02 pm
Jake Fromm is not the answer. That’s why he’s still available late in Round 4. I would like to see a speedy WR as our pick in the 5th. Admittedly, I have no idea who that is.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:02 pm
Joe, I need help please. All my comments immediately go to moderation now is it because I changed my screen name? I’ll change it back old phone broke using same Gmail. Please help. Can’t interact with everyone like this. Love the site
Go Bucs!!!
April 25th, 2020 at 2:04 pm
If Proche is still on the board in the 5th round we need to draft him. He would be a solid slot and outside speed option.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:22 pm
Khalil Davis this round. A little undersized for a 3-4, but great speed and strength.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:29 pm
49ers keep taking my wishlist guys. Grrr.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:33 pm
Do we double up on RB and take Eno?
April 25th, 2020 at 2:39 pm
Jags a killin it. Good picks, but let’s see what they do with them…
April 25th, 2020 at 2:40 pm
Tyler Johnson or DPJ?
April 25th, 2020 at 2:40 pm
Quez Watkins WR So Miss is who I’m hoping for
April 25th, 2020 at 2:40 pm
DLine…. wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a WR that may have fell they had high on their board. DLine has areas that need future grooming. Anywhere on the line works for me!
April 25th, 2020 at 2:40 pm
Slot receiver please
April 25th, 2020 at 2:40 pm
I’d be happy with a speedy WR or DE.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:41 pm
Grab Fromm, New England! Do it…do it.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:42 pm
Quez Watkins wouldn’t be bad. Good size, and super fast.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:42 pm
Almost there…
April 25th, 2020 at 2:43 pm
bad feeling the Bucs will pick Fromm Jets on the board now Bucs in a few
April 25th, 2020 at 2:43 pm
I’m for Fromm. But I doubt I’ll get my wish.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:43 pm
Fromm if he’s still there. Sit behind the GOAT and either take over in two years or use as trade bait a la Garropolo and Brissett.
Anae or Weaver as developmental edge rushers
Muti, Adams for OL rotation.
I think enough WRs are there in 6th
April 25th, 2020 at 2:44 pm
Patriots traded up…
April 25th, 2020 at 2:45 pm
Rather see speedy WR than another RB at this point. None of the QB’s left are worth a Rnd 5 pick. Just my opinion. DL or OL depth is always welcome too.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:46 pm
Fromm free fall continues…please no.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:47 pm
Wow. Pats took the first kicker. Wasn’t mine, thankfully.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:47 pm
FROMM!!!!
April 25th, 2020 at 2:47 pm
OMG the Pats took a Kicker in the 5th, what idiots…..
From wouldn’t be a bad pick up at this point either dude would benefit greatly playing/learning from Brady
April 25th, 2020 at 2:48 pm
On the clock!
April 25th, 2020 at 2:48 pm
We can’t go into the season with mister fragile as backup…
April 25th, 2020 at 2:48 pm
I’m cool with Tyler Johnson
April 25th, 2020 at 2:49 pm
Tyler Johnson. Great pick! Called it.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:49 pm
Nice!
April 25th, 2020 at 2:49 pm
WR Tyler Johnson
April 25th, 2020 at 2:49 pm
Ignore everything above. I love the pick!
April 25th, 2020 at 2:50 pm
Tyler Johnson will compete with Watson for WR3. Solid pick.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:50 pm
Thats a good safe pick. Doesn’t have break away speed and drops the ball on easy ones. Similar to ME13
April 25th, 2020 at 2:51 pm
Like the pick too. Bucs trying to fill vacancies from Barber and Perriman departures.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:52 pm
Another mindless choice by Gump. How does he keep his job? Fromm was there for the taking.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:52 pm
This has to be the first time the Bucs have drafted 2 Minnesota Golden Gophers. Tony Dungy is somewhere smiling.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:53 pm
Wow, talk about a reach. This was in the pre-draft analysis of him from espn: He doesn’t have great speed. He has smaller hands and there are a lot of drops on tape.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:54 pm
Strengths
Tremendously productive over last three seasons
Put his name on a long list of school records
Play strength reminiscent of AJ Brown
Recognizes acceleration opportunities to play past coverage
Rare ball skills and instincts as ball-winner
Basketball background shows when bodying defenders at catch-point
Defenders catch shoulders, back and hips anywhere on the field
Diligent in working back to his quarterback
Uses tracking and stacking to handle deep catches
Excellent high-point timing and mid-air adjustments
Weaknesses
Tight hips limit agility to elude press
Lacks leaping ability and arm length for desired catch radius
Top-end speed falls below the NFL mark
Unable to find second gear to run under throws
Route work doesn’t throw defender off the scent
Below average foot quickness to cross-up corners at route stem
Disappointing separation burst out of breaks
Has had issues fighting the football into the middle of the field
Physical after the catch, but not very elusive
April 25th, 2020 at 2:55 pm
@TomTerrific STFU, nobody want Fromm, stop with this negativity and let people enjoy this moment.
April 25th, 2020 at 2:55 pm
Tyler Johnson has amazing hands and don’t need a lot of space to catch a ball. He plays with heart and gets the job done. Great Pick! Now go get Fromm or Stanley in the 6th
April 25th, 2020 at 2:55 pm
Better hope he plays “great” special teams!!!!!!!!
April 25th, 2020 at 2:57 pm
@TomTerrific STFU, nobody want Fromm, stop with this negativity and let people enjoy this moment..
April 25th, 2020 at 2:58 pm
@TomTerrific STFU, nobody want Fromm, stop with this negativity and let people enjoy this moment g
April 25th, 2020 at 2:59 pm
Fromm wasn’t worth the pick. With Eason and Morgan gone, QB can be addressed in 1 or 2 years. Ryan Griffin is more than adequate. Comfortable with him for 1 year or 2.
Brady doesn’t need the distraction of a new QB to mentor, or looking over his shoulder.
April 25th, 2020 at 3:03 pm
Man, NFLN is almost 10 picks behind…
April 25th, 2020 at 3:06 pm
That means that there is still hope to get the guy you want Bonzai Lol
April 25th, 2020 at 3:08 pm
The greatest coach and gm ever just drafted a kicker in the 5th round, everyone needs to stop bashing Licht for picking matt gay now. roberto I’d another issue completely
April 25th, 2020 at 3:08 pm
Bills take Fromm. I really believe they have a good prospect. Maybe we can get him in 4 years after the Bills can’t develop him and our current QB at the time, Aaron Rodgers, decides to retire.
April 25th, 2020 at 3:09 pm
Bills took Fromm.
April 25th, 2020 at 3:09 pm
Saw Tyler Johnson at the Outback Bowl. MVP. Dude owned Auburn.

That would not be a distraction for Brady.

Bellicheat took a Kicker and none of you’re bashing him
April 25th, 2020 at 3:20 pm
Bellicheat took a Kicker and none of you’re bashing him ..
April 25th, 2020 at 3:27 pm
Don’t be dumb.
April 25th, 2020 at 3:46 pm
The same guy that picked Jamoist Winston has passed on Fromm. What a D bag. This WR won’t amount to a pile of dog excrement. We needed a QB to groom behind Brady. Licht is waiting for the next uber groper to come along.
April 25th, 2020 at 3:49 pm
Let’s see if we take Nate Staley in rd 6. He seems to be connected to us more than anyone else I have read.
April 25th, 2020 at 3:50 pm
Bonzai:
He’s a got a new team, teammates, coaches, and playbook to concetrate on. I would let Brady settle in for a year. He can groom a heir in future drafts. I also like Griffin, who can be a very good backup, almost starter, and bridge.
April 25th, 2020 at 3:53 pm
@IE Buc
We’ll be lucky if he’s here more than one year, dude.
April 25th, 2020 at 3:55 pm
QB Nate Stanley is the last QB on my wishlist. The Bucs showed interest in him…visited him 3 times before the Stay at Home thing started. So there is a slight chance.
April 25th, 2020 at 4:11 pm
i gotta be honest. I would love for them to take K Rodrigo Blankenship in this round.
April 25th, 2020 at 4:12 pm
Adam Vinatieri’s nephew(forgot name) is available. South Dakota St.
April 25th, 2020 at 4:14 pm
I hope not. He throws a lot of picks and is indecisive. We just got rid of a guy like that.
I like the LB out of Purdue, Markus Bailey. He could be a good special teams addition, except for all of his injuries.
Although it is the 6th round. Does it really matter?
April 25th, 2020 at 4:23 pm
So much for Nate Stanley. lol
April 25th, 2020 at 4:23 pm
DT Khalil Davis
April 25th, 2020 at 4:24 pm
Yes a DT, Davis looks good too….was watching some of him last night.
April 25th, 2020 at 4:27 pm
DT Raequan Williams is still there.
April 25th, 2020 at 4:27 pm
I’m not sure I like this one. At least not going by the scout reports. Still, if Suh can mentor him, he may do well. Otherwise, we draft a DT high next year.
April 25th, 2020 at 4:29 pm
It’s the sixth round Bonz, i don’t think we will find Suh’s replacement this deep into the draft. But Brady got drafted this round, never know.
April 25th, 2020 at 4:45 pm
Still have #241 and #245 ….. Maybe QB Bryce Perkins.
April 25th, 2020 at 5:17 pm
Time to get Anthony Gordon.
April 25th, 2020 at 5:20 pm
Dang, Gordon still there? Oh yeah!
April 25th, 2020 at 5:22 pm
Has to be Gordon….i figured he went in the 4th.
QB Anthony G. oh, that would be great…..
April 25th, 2020 at 5:57 pm
Wow, I didn’t even notice there was a thread for the day until now… I could have been putting all my great insight in one place this whole time.
April 25th, 2020 at 5:58 pm
Thrilled with the 5th round pick. He’s a stud.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:01 pm
Said this earlier, but the Bucs should take a flier on QB Josh Love – go watch his highlights and tell me the guy doesn’t look and throw like Drew Brees. The ball just sort of shoots out – it’s not like a cannon arm, but it gets out of his hands quickly with seemingly no wind up. There’s a few passes where I was like, wow, how did he get that out so quick – and they have good zip. For a late pick, or perhaps even an UDFA, he’s a guy who I’d give a shot to. This is a team that has had awful QBs who can’t throw the ball as dev guys, like the goat farmer, he couldn’t throw the ball, even in college he was awful at throwing the ball, and he didn’t have any speed – no idea what scout talked the team into him getting a chance, but watching his supposed highlights told you he had less than no chance. But Love, he has a chance I think – at least by 7th round / UDFA standards.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:07 pm
I like that Chris Mortensen wouldn’t have any of their nonsense of trying to get him to cry on air. What a great man, he wouldn’t give them their made for women TV moment. Loved it!
April 25th, 2020 at 6:09 pm
I said this last night, but it’s worth repeating. the Rams new logo, the color version, is one of the most awful things Nike has created since they failed to do a gradient correctly in Jacksonville. What a worthless company.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:10 pm
Rod Munch Says
“Said this earlier, but the Bucs should take a flier on QB Josh Love – go watch his highlights and tell me the guy doesn’t look and throw like Drew Brees.”
You are absolutely right! I went and looked him up on you tube. (linked to what I saw in my name)
He may not have a cannon, but he doesn’t have a weak arm either. Lots of touch on the deep ball.
You’re right about that fast release. I think we SHOULD take a flier on him!
April 25th, 2020 at 6:14 pm
Bonzai – He’s 6′ 2″ also, not sure why he isn’t at least getting mentioned more – you don’t see too many QBs that release the ball that quickly, and yeah, in his highlights he appears to have good touch. With that said I didn’t see his bad tape, but on the stat sheet he only has 8 INTs on the year when throwing for almost 4000 yards, so it doesn’t seem like he’s a turnover machine.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:17 pm
Nate Stanley
April 25th, 2020 at 6:20 pm
TREY ADAMS & RAEQUAN WILLIAMS
April 25th, 2020 at 6:21 pm
Alright, we’re about to be on the clock…..
April 25th, 2020 at 6:22 pm
Looks like we traded to Saints…
April 25th, 2020 at 6:23 pm
Nope. strike that
April 25th, 2020 at 6:23 pm
Sigh…
April 25th, 2020 at 6:24 pm
Chappell Russel? OLB
April 25th, 2020 at 6:25 pm
Chapelle Russell, OLB, seems like your typical special teams guy.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:25 pm
I would have liked Nate here, but sigh.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:26 pm
Russell was a three-year starter…. chases with good effort and he plays a little faster than timed. …shows better awareness in coverage than he does as a run defender…
April 25th, 2020 at 6:27 pm
They must have a plan at backup QB already.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:27 pm
Nice pass rush depth for Chapelle Russell
April 25th, 2020 at 6:28 pm
one more pick. Might as well pick Alex Taylor, OT from SC State. The guy is 6’9″ and fast. Convert him to a DE if OT doesnt work out 7th rounder is pretty much a throw away
April 25th, 2020 at 6:29 pm
LOL Wont be Stanley. He was just picked before us.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:30 pm
Bonzai – Arians LOVES Gabbert… no idea why.
Hopefully they talk Winston into taking a cheap deal to be backup. As Winston said, you can’t be mad at losing your job to the GOTA. Who knows?
I still have nightmares that he ends up with the Saints after Brees retires and put 40 points up against the Bucs twice a season for 15 straight years.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:30 pm
Please be Gordon next!!!!!
April 25th, 2020 at 6:31 pm
Vikings took Stanley.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:31 pm
Arians must really trust Blaine Gabbert..
Was hoping for a rookie for the future.. surprised Anthony Gordon is still out there!
April 25th, 2020 at 6:32 pm
RB Raymond Calais
April 25th, 2020 at 6:33 pm
These last 3 picks are very questionable.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:33 pm
Raymond Calais – quick reading, looks like a return specialist. If that is the case, then that’s a good pick if he’s any good since the Bucs need a returner.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:33 pm
Fast RB….watched his tape a week ago. 4.4 speed and can catch!
April 25th, 2020 at 6:33 pm
Sigh…..Gordon was still there 🙁
April 25th, 2020 at 6:36 pm
ncbucsfan – Can he catch, the profile I saw says he’s not much a receiver. But did excel at returning the ball. Seems like as a returner, if that’s what he is, then it’s a very good fit. If he can in fact catch the ball, then great, maybe he gets a look as a 3rd down guy – but he’s very small, so not sure you trust him blocking for Brady.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:36 pm
Punt team gunner at best.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:36 pm
Yeah, nc, he’s decent….and its our last pick in the 7th so theres that.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:37 pm
Well, let’s hope they bring in an undrafted QB to compete. Blaine Gabbert and Ryan Griffin are not going to get it done.
April 25th, 2020 at 6:40 pm
I like our first, second and fifth round picks.
Skeptical of our third rounder.
Sixth thru seventh rounders are completely questionable. We missed out on some strong potential in those rounds.

Bonzai – I think at this point Love goes undrafted, so I’m hoping they bring him in for a look but I’m not going to get too upset if they don’t. Looking at various best players available list there seems to be a good amount of good players still available that will likely end up undrafted so we will see what they end up doing.

People really questioning 7th rounders and acting like studs still there to be taken? Basically strategy should just be to target west coast udfa you want since it’s harder to get them to come cross country

Agreed Bonzai, but DT Davis is a pretty good pick.

Can someone explain why Adrian Killins Jr remains undrafted. He runs 4.27, has good vision and makes explosive cuts, is extremely skilled as a receiver and can be used as a return man. I know he’s undersized, but in the right scheme I think he could be a big playmaker.

BenjaminBuc – I don’t really see much about him, but the 5′ 8″ 168lbs jumps off the page. If he’s that fast though, you know someone will bring him into camp somewhere.

Outside of Wirfs and Johnson (awesome picks!), our draft has been very underwhelming. We started the offseason needing two legitimate threats at running back and with the draft nearly complete, we still haven’t filled that need. I am mortified with our running back situation so I’m hoping that we address it in free agency, but I know better.
In order to fix a problem, you first have to realize that you have one. Licht has been doing a great job lately, but his inability/refusal to properly address the running back position is going to bite us in the @ss.

Buczilla – The Bucs already have their starting RB in Ronnie, who looked great to close out the year, and we got the new guy who looks very solid, plus we added this new guy who can be a change of pace/returner. Finally there’s a billion FA RBs available that can be had for nothing, that can be the 3rd down back the team badly needs.

Alright, Anthony Gordon as a UDFA….that has to be the best value QB.

Day one starters in rounds 1&2. Likely Round 3 as well.
Love the pick in Round 5, he has every chance of making WR3.
Round 6 has a shot at D-line rotation
Last pick might make it as a return guy.
The only pick I really don’t get is Russell, I felt we could have gone O-line depth.

Rod Munch- You are higher on Jones than I am. He flashed some awesome potential from time to time, but he wasn’t consistent enough to convince me that he is starting material. Vaughn doesn’t look to be anything special and probably would have been there for us in the 5th round. I hope that you are right and that I am fussing for no reason, but we’ll find out soon enough. 😜

Joe doesn’t like to track UDFA. Here is a link. Some have already been signed.
