Go Bucs!
April 24th, 2020 at 6:56 pm
We expended some capital using our 4th round picks which will make it difficult to trade up…..so we may end up with a less desirable RB….but we still need to pick one….maybe reaching a bit for Akers….
Unless a OJ trade comes into play tonight…..
April 24th, 2020 at 6:58 pm
Still prefer a safety because I think we can get a decent back in 3rd. But I get the urgency. I think our run game will be better because of wirfs and Gronk by default
April 24th, 2020 at 6:59 pm
GO BUCS!!!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 6:59 pm
RB
S
or a RB and QB prospect
April 24th, 2020 at 7:00 pm
Winfield Jr. baby. Pa pa please!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:00 pm
Agree with Coburn. Maybe we could end up with Akers or Moss in the early 3rd.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:01 pm
RB please and trade O.J.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:02 pm
Get Dobbins and don’t trade up
April 24th, 2020 at 7:02 pm
we’ve got a 5th, 6th and two 7th’s and OJ as ammunition to move back into the 2nd if need be
April 24th, 2020 at 7:02 pm
Fromm or Eason as a developmental to ride the bench for two years?
April 24th, 2020 at 7:02 pm
Get Dobbins man
April 24th, 2020 at 7:03 pm
2 of the following would be ideal in my humble opinion:
RB
DL
WE
Safety
April 24th, 2020 at 7:04 pm
Winfield Jr would be sweet.
Honey Bager 2.0
April 24th, 2020 at 7:04 pm
It’s going to be interesting how they sign UDFA’s without getting much facetime
April 24th, 2020 at 7:08 pm
Don’t need a RB, we already have a high 2nd round pick playing RB.
We do however need a #3 WR.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:09 pm
TIME FOR A SAFETY
Safety is our most pressing concern right now there is enough good backs we can snag one in the third round.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:10 pm
Is Kurt Warner transitioning?
April 24th, 2020 at 7:12 pm
I kinda like Day 2 better. This is the real meat and potatoes of the draft.
GO BUCS!!!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:12 pm
I like those 3 safety’s left, also Epenesa would be a colossal steal here. Baun, Shenault, Pittman. I would take one of those now and get a RB with the next pick.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:13 pm
Trade our 45 and OJ to NE’s #37 (they need a TE)….and if XavMck is there, you take him….or get a RB
April 24th, 2020 at 7:13 pm
I want the best RB we can draft to go with Rojo and complete this epic offense. So much talent still left in this draft. I hope we get a Safety also.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:15 pm
RB, S AND DT TONIGHT. Lots of high value in these positions of need tonight. Big drop off in these positions after the 3rd rd. To do this we need to trade OJ to get the 3rd pick. Need to get back up into the 4th with our later picks so we can get a WR. There will be a few 2nd/3rd rd graded WRs that are still available in the 4th.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:15 pm
@Amastro If picking a QB, I would take Fromm with this pick.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:17 pm
Goodell is such a tool. I’ve never been on the booing him bandwagon, I just never cared – but him reading these cue cards while pretending to interact with the people on webcams is just so douchey.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:17 pm
Oh yes baby WR WR WR!!!! take them all teams!! If these Receivers keep going we are gonna be looking great.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:18 pm
Tee Higgens off the board. Need an RB Bucs fans.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:18 pm
The only QB worth anything is Hurt. No Fromm, no Easton, no 3rd day developmental QB.
We have greater needs. Get a QB in the 1st rd in 2021.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:19 pm
I agree no QB, we are all in baby
April 24th, 2020 at 7:19 pm
God damnit.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:20 pm
Pittman Jr just looks so pro-ready – reminds me so much of Evans.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:20 pm
Run on WR’s……LOVE IT!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:21 pm
Well get the best OT on the board if they slide – have a guy ready to go for Smith next year and free up $15m.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:23 pm
Can ESPN stop with these god damn ‘everyone is a victim’ and ‘we have to tell their sob story’ crap with every pick. I’m here to watch sports, not watch a drama geared at women.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:23 pm
@Rod, i love the idea, but no…..we’re not going O line 2nd and 3rd.
We need a Safety hunter and RB.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:23 pm
There goes Swift
April 24th, 2020 at 7:24 pm
Oh snap
April 24th, 2020 at 7:24 pm
That’s 1 of 4 off the board at RB
April 24th, 2020 at 7:24 pm
As a reminder, the same people who are begging for a RB tonight were the same ones begging for a RB in the 2nd when we took Ronnie.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:24 pm
Switch to NFL network Rod, thats not showing.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:24 pm
Damn, Swift off of the board.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:24 pm
Swift
Taylor
Akers
Dobbins
My preference in order.
Absolutely no doubt they are taking a RB If one of those 4 are available
April 24th, 2020 at 7:25 pm
Still 6 good RBs
April 24th, 2020 at 7:25 pm
MadMax – I’m OK with a S, at least it’s a need. RB is not a need – plenty available in free agency who would cost nothing.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:25 pm
Dobbins
Moss
Taylor
Akers
Dillon
Benjamin
April 24th, 2020 at 7:25 pm
Noooo!! Darnit
April 24th, 2020 at 7:26 pm
Dammmmit.
Swift gone
One of the other need to last 9 more picks.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:26 pm
there goes Swift
April 24th, 2020 at 7:27 pm
There goes McKinney
April 24th, 2020 at 7:28 pm
MadMax – It’s the same thing on NFL or ESPN. They started with Pittman talking about him stu…stuuu….stuuuuuttttterrrring, but that didn’t get much traction so they moved on. But last night everything was about why someone has it so bad, then 10 minutes of commercials where companies tell you why they care so much about it… It was awful. I just want to hear about the players abilities, see highlights, specs, etc- not 4 minutes about their uncle dying in 1982.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:28 pm
I do want one defensive player tonight. That’s all I ask for and I don’t care what position. Whichever player Bowles wants.
Just don’t ignore the defense is all I want.
Also getting OJ off my team would be nice. I am so ready to stop rooting for that guy.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:28 pm
Cmon. We had zero chance at swift unless bucs moved up
April 24th, 2020 at 7:29 pm
I think the Bucs will end up with Akers. Bears and Jags need a RB and a few others picking before us. If Dobbins and Taylor are gone, do you pick Akers at #45 or do you go S and hope Akers or Gibson is there in the 3rd? Maybe AJ Dillon.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:29 pm
If Taylor Akers or Dobbins are available there’s no chance they do not take a RB.
Why is that a discussion?
It’s laughable.
Just like yesterday when some people started claiming they were going to take a wide receiver. What a joke. Stop trying to outsmart the room. It’s been tackle then running back in rounds one and two the entire time.
IF one of those three running back‘s are not available then maybe they go safety or D line.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:29 pm
FK. Xav gone!
Alright, Davis/Dugger!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:30 pm
Give me a top 5 RB in Round 2 and a fast WR in Round 3.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:30 pm
Akers or Taylor or Dobbins.
Must get one
April 24th, 2020 at 7:30 pm
Dugger….GONE!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:31 pm
I’m with Rod. We haven’t had no sports. I wanna see the clips of bone crushing hits. If I want a tear jerker I’ll catch a flick with my wife.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:31 pm
Where you all getting the picks so early – or you just guessing?
April 24th, 2020 at 7:31 pm
Looking good…. 3 RBs and 8 picks to go
April 24th, 2020 at 7:31 pm
Bucs won’t get one of the Top 4 backs as I predicted a week ago.
CEH gone last night, Swift now off the board. Dolphins for sure will take Taylor or Dobbins. Teams know the Bucs are desperate for a RB and will move ahead of them if the 4th one is left right before the Bucs pick.
Bucs should move up now for Taylor or they’re going to be left with a RB that’s too much of a gamble.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:32 pm
You Tube Live show
April 24th, 2020 at 7:32 pm
Rod- ESPN is several seconds behind NFL network
April 24th, 2020 at 7:32 pm
Safety then draft rb out of Memphis then qb or wr
April 24th, 2020 at 7:32 pm
For real they are still talking about McKinney. Wthy
April 24th, 2020 at 7:33 pm
Kyle Dugger? Okay, Bellicheat goes for small school talent.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:33 pm
Well… maybe about 2-3 seconds.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:34 pm
Dang the Patriots suck at drafting.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:34 pm
Wow
Belicheat the man but that kid available in third
April 24th, 2020 at 7:35 pm
Gross-Matos….GGGGGGONE!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:35 pm
Why do people think they’re going to take a safety? If one of the top three running back‘s left our available, there’s no chance in hell they take a safety. Absolutely none.
The only safety worth taking before the next round is Winfield and he is about 5’8”. No thanks
April 24th, 2020 at 7:35 pm
If you want a late round QB pick, or maybe a FA guy, look at Josh Love. Watching him play, the way the ball comes out of his hand and such, looks like Drew Brees. Not saying he is or anything, but if they want a 5th round flyer on a QB, that’s who I’m picking.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:37 pm
Dang we needed a bigger run on WRs
April 24th, 2020 at 7:37 pm
get on utube…. chat sports
April 24th, 2020 at 7:37 pm
I hope they get a 4th for OJ and draft Fromm to learn from Brady. Same type. Smart and accurate.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:38 pm
Safety or RB . Taylor or Winfield JR. Prefer the Safety cause this guy reminds me of Honey badger who can shore up the back end of our defense. draft a QB in round 7 because its a waist of a pick
April 24th, 2020 at 7:38 pm
NFL: we want to help you escape from all of this tragedy.
(Shows tragic story after tragic story)
April 24th, 2020 at 7:38 pm
Robert Hunt to the Fins! Good for Bucs.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:38 pm
Robert Hunt…OG Gone
April 24th, 2020 at 7:38 pm
Alright, get our RB Licht!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:39 pm
Miami pick in. Here goes another RB
April 24th, 2020 at 7:39 pm
Fromm blows, don’t you dare Jason.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:40 pm
Hey can you guys not say the picks early? Trust me it doesn’t make you cool
April 24th, 2020 at 7:40 pm
“See, when you come out of those up-tempo g-d numbers, man, it’s impossible to make those transitions, and then you gotta go into somebody dying. You know, they do this to me all the time. I don’t know what the heel they do it for, but God d— it if we can’t come out of a slow record. I don’t understand it. Is Don on the phone? Okay. I want a godd— concerted effort to come out of a record that isn’t a f—ing up-tempo record every time I do a godda– death dedication! Now make it..and I also wanna know what happened to the pictures I was supposed to see this week! This is the god..last godd— time. I want somebody to use his f—ing brain to not come out of a godd— record that is that’s up-tempo and I gotta talk about a f—ing dog dying!” – Casey Kasem
April 24th, 2020 at 7:40 pm
SOB I really didn’t want Gross-Matos to be in our division. He is going to be good.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:41 pm
There were two of you talking about Duggar?!? Really??? LoL.
No one but a handful of scouts have even heard of this guy before a few weeks ago, give me a break. He played against high school talent. Pretty sure you never saw him play.
Not ragging on you, I just find it amusing.
It’s like how everyone becomes a horse expert when the Kentucky derby rules around. It’s laughable
April 24th, 2020 at 7:41 pm
I use with work with Robert Hunt’s uncle, Mike.
Get it?!?
April 24th, 2020 at 7:42 pm
How are these guys getting the pucks so early? I’m watching on TV and the hey haven’t come close to announcing the pick.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:42 pm
Taylor!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:42 pm
Bucs should not have to reach for a good player at 45
April 24th, 2020 at 7:43 pm
Wesley
Fromm is an extremely smart and accurate game manager. He’s a good leader and has a drive. He’s exactly like Brady when Brady was in college. Having him sit behind Brady for a year or two would be awesome.
He’s also carried the team when necessary.
Aside from a three-game stretch last year, he was consistent and getting better his entire career.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:43 pm
Aj epenosa
Ross Blacklock
Delpit
No offense.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:43 pm
Awesome! Miami did NOT take a RB
April 24th, 2020 at 7:43 pm
Might the Bucs trade down here?
April 24th, 2020 at 7:43 pm
WOW! Dolphins don’t go RB. Shocker. Great news for us as they were one of the teams that really needed a RB.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:44 pm
3 top RBs left and only 5 picks before the Bucs.
Fantastic!!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:44 pm
Browns traded to pick now
April 24th, 2020 at 7:44 pm
Fort myers
Fat antonia
Are are you seeing those picks so fast?
April 24th, 2020 at 7:44 pm
Trade!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:44 pm
Cool. No running back there for Miami…. Buc’s just might get a good onejto fall in their laps
April 24th, 2020 at 7:45 pm
Scotty…
Give it all up. The entire world knows they are taking a running back. Just like the entire world knew they were taking a tackle in the first round. Don’t overthink it dude
April 24th, 2020 at 7:45 pm
@ David
Winfield is 5’9”-5’10”. So is Earl Thomas. Great height argument there. Tisk tisk
April 24th, 2020 at 7:45 pm
GREAT OPTIONS
DEFENSE
• A.J. Epenesa EDGE – IOWA • JR • 6’5″ / 275 LBS
• Zack Baun, EDGE, WISCONSIN • JR • 6’3″ / 235 LBS
• Terrell Lewis EDGE – ALABAMA • SR • 6’5″ / 262 LBS
OFFENSE
• J.K. Dobbins RB – OHIO STATE • JR • 5’10” / 209 LBS
• Chase Claypool WR – NOTRE DAME • SR • 6’4″ / 238 LBS
April 24th, 2020 at 7:45 pm
Colts move up. Hopefully they go for CB and not RB.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:45 pm
Actually Browns picking 41. Blacklock GONE at 40!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:45 pm
Blacklock, #40 to Houston
April 24th, 2020 at 7:46 pm
Curious how much further Baun is gonna drop. Him or one of the dts has to be appealing even though I’m still hoping for deposit. He hasn’t been picked right?
April 24th, 2020 at 7:46 pm
Browns got pick 160 to move back 3.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:46 pm
He’s actually listed at 5’9”, they claim that is stretching it.
I know he can leap and he is good, but they’re taking a running back
so it’s irrelevant
April 24th, 2020 at 7:46 pm
Taylor gone #42
April 24th, 2020 at 7:46 pm
Colts get Taylor
April 24th, 2020 at 7:47 pm
How is Epenesa there still?
April 24th, 2020 at 7:47 pm
NUTS Taylor gone
April 24th, 2020 at 7:47 pm
#41, my bad
April 24th, 2020 at 7:47 pm
Personally I would not get a safety or a cornerback who is not 5’11 or taller. Every other receiver nowadays is 6’ 3” or more
April 24th, 2020 at 7:47 pm
Dang fools quit announcing picks
April 24th, 2020 at 7:47 pm
Damn it Colts get Jonathon Taylor. Mystifying.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:48 pm
Alright, trade down!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:48 pm
Akers or Dobbins
April 24th, 2020 at 7:48 pm
YOU JACKHOLE, LICHT. You should have traded up for Taylor. IDIOT.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:48 pm
The Colts took Taylor? They have Mack.
Is Mack available!??! Go get him if so.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:49 pm
Get two 3rds or our 4th back.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:49 pm
Damn colts… all good Dobbins and Akers are still there
April 24th, 2020 at 7:49 pm
After Swift and CEH, my preference is Akers. Taylor is good but a lot of miles and he fumbles a lot
April 24th, 2020 at 7:49 pm
Neva would thought AJ & JK would still be on the board in the 2nd Wow!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:49 pm
Down goes Swift, Down goes Taylor, don’t panic Jason
April 24th, 2020 at 7:49 pm
Akers is a major reach for a 2nd rounder.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:49 pm
Trade down and get the FSU RB
April 24th, 2020 at 7:50 pm
I didnt see anything specia on taylors tape
April 24th, 2020 at 7:50 pm
BUCS ARE GOING SAFETY DELPIT.
I’m convinced now they’re not after a back if they didn’t trade up a few spots to get Taylor.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:50 pm
Meh, Taylor doesn’t look like anything special. Looks like a ‘solid’ guy, like how Barber was ‘solid’.
Could be wrong, didn’t do any real research other than watch highlights, but I didn’t think he was overly impressive. Looks like a good college back, but very average NFL go.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:51 pm
Agree. Dont reach for Akers here.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:51 pm
BucEmUp – Taylor is the only player in history to rush for over 6,000 yards in 3 seasons. He’s a baller.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:51 pm
Is not a reach and will be selected in round two.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:51 pm
I would not mind Delpit
April 24th, 2020 at 7:51 pm
Shenault, WR from Colorado Gone!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:51 pm
We will have a choice between Akers & a very good safety….think Jax will take Dobbins…
April 24th, 2020 at 7:52 pm
If Jax takes Dobbins wait until 3. I doubt they do.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:52 pm
Aj epenosa or jalen hurts
April 24th, 2020 at 7:52 pm
Oh DOBBINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!……
DOBBINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get Dobbins!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:52 pm
Bears may take RB.
Cleveland will not.
Not sure about Jags. Fournette wants out
April 24th, 2020 at 7:52 pm
Should be used to this… a guy we really need or want never just falls to us.. unless he is a bozo. It’s a Bucs life.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:52 pm
I don’t get the Colts taking Taylor – Mack has been very productive for them. Could just be a load share deal, but you’d figure they’d get a pass catching back, not that Mack can’t catch, but you figure that’s what they’d want.
Licht should call and offer up a 5th for Mack.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:52 pm
If Dobbins and Epenesa are gone we should trade back and get a third or one of the fourths abck
April 24th, 2020 at 7:53 pm
AKERS
Or
DOBBINS
April 24th, 2020 at 7:53 pm
Daaaammn
A.J. Epenesa & Tristan Wirfs could be on the same team.
Talk about investing into the trenches.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:53 pm
Good. Now Licht can do hs job and draft the best OL / DL player like a good GM should. Epenesa could still be available.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:53 pm
Ezra Cleveland is still on the board… this is a guy people were saying to take at 14.
If here’s there, take him.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:53 pm
we had nothing to give to move up. one 3rd and then nothing until round 5? maybe teams dont want to give up a 3 for OJ.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:53 pm
Epenesa
Baun
Winfield
Shenault
Delpit
Take one of those and next pick get a RB. If we ended up with one of those and Zack Moss we would win today.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:53 pm
Delpit or Epenesa would be nice
or trade back
April 24th, 2020 at 7:54 pm
Epenesa???
It’s Akers or Dobbins
April 24th, 2020 at 7:54 pm
Trade down Jason…nothing we need of second round value.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:55 pm
trade OJ for Mack?
April 24th, 2020 at 7:55 pm
Teams with RBs are taking RBs. Could put some RBs on the trade block for cheap. If we don’t get someone we like.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:55 pm
Kmet #43
April 24th, 2020 at 7:55 pm
Kmet, TE….GONE!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:56 pm
Yes!
Bucs get their RB.
Akers or Dobbins … Which ever one the Bears don’t take, if they take up running back
April 24th, 2020 at 7:56 pm
A.J. Epenesa or J.K Dobbins
April 24th, 2020 at 7:56 pm
OMG ANOTHER G-D DEATH DEDICATION
April 24th, 2020 at 7:56 pm
Trade down a couple
April 24th, 2020 at 7:56 pm
If Jason doesn’t trade down, I’ll join the Licht is over his head crowd.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:57 pm
Does ESPN go to commercial during every Bucs pick like they normally do, or does Brady break that curse?
April 24th, 2020 at 7:57 pm
Dobbins
Or safety?
April 24th, 2020 at 7:57 pm
Amazing how ignorant some of you are. Do you think they’re going to take another lineman or trade down when they desperately need a running back for several years now?
Winfield at S is the only guy giving them pause over taking Dobbins or Akers
April 24th, 2020 at 7:57 pm
Munch
I agree
Its a pity party
April 24th, 2020 at 7:58 pm
Dewey Selmon – Humm, OJ for Mack? That’s not bad… I think OJ has a bit more value as RB’s are a dime a dozen, so we’ll need another 7th rounder with that, so Licht has 3 of them.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:58 pm
Jk let’s goooo!!!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 7:58 pm
Dobbins Dobbins Dobbins
April 24th, 2020 at 7:58 pm
ROD…..GET ON UTBE BRO! Chat sports channel.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:58 pm
David – But the team doesn’t need a RB, the Bucs have a very good starting RB who they just drafted high in the 2nd round two years ago.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:59 pm
Good position for us to trade down.
Josh jones. Cleveland. Epenosa. Delpit etc are available. Teams might want to trade up.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:59 pm
What if we go defense, don’t think Winfield Jr. will be there (Browns)
April 24th, 2020 at 7:59 pm
David…you have to look at value. And Dobbins or Akers aren’t worth the 45th pick. Trade down.
April 24th, 2020 at 7:59 pm
Kmet to the Bears
April 24th, 2020 at 7:59 pm
^^^ Smart Man
April 24th, 2020 at 7:59 pm
I’ll take Winfield or delpit
April 24th, 2020 at 7:59 pm
I would be thrilled with Dobbins at 45!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:00 pm
Nice!!!
AKERS OR DOBBINS …
April 24th, 2020 at 8:00 pm
MadMax – I like the pace of the message board here, lets me actually look up stuff between making smart ass comments.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:00 pm
DOBBINS Come one Licht!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:00 pm
Unless someone jumps in front of the Browns, Dobbins is OURS! Are you freaking kidding me!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:00 pm
Epenesa or Cleveland. C’mon Licht Do the smart thing!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:01 pm
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Death dedications make Muncher angry.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:01 pm
Ok Get to raise your shot glasses men!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:01 pm
No prob Rod, all good.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:01 pm
Easy Rod, you need to quit w the Covid hate.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:01 pm
Akers is third or forth round value…don’t even think about it Jason.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:01 pm
Or even Baun?
April 24th, 2020 at 8:01 pm
I love Akers. I’m married to a Nole and our son is a Nole.
Still, Dobbins!!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:01 pm
A.J. Epenesa or J.K Dobbins Flip a coin
April 24th, 2020 at 8:01 pm
Bucs on the clock with Dobbins available
April 24th, 2020 at 8:02 pm
Delpit GONE!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:02 pm
Dobbins is the guy!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:02 pm
There are still quite a few safeties available, so right now the Bucs probably should go that route. No value at WR.
If Cleveland is still there, they should take him. $15m next year, plus D. Smith trade value… that’s a good return. Have to free up money if we’re going to keep Godwin and Shaq.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:02 pm
Baun’s a beast — wouldn’t be mad at that either
April 24th, 2020 at 8:02 pm
Delpit #44
Dobbins falls to us #45! But what do we do?
April 24th, 2020 at 8:02 pm
Browns take a safety, Grant Delpit, LSU…..
April 24th, 2020 at 8:03 pm
RB, S, Edge, DL
trade down
April 24th, 2020 at 8:03 pm
Osh!t its about to go down baby!!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:03 pm
A.J. Epenesa
April 24th, 2020 at 8:04 pm
Make it Dobbins!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:04 pm
Winfield Jr it is
April 24th, 2020 at 8:04 pm
TRADE
April 24th, 2020 at 8:04 pm
Wanted delpit .. wonder if light felt same
April 24th, 2020 at 8:04 pm
At least we know Licht isnt trading up. Thats a good thing.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:05 pm
Dobbins is there!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:05 pm
Winfield
April 24th, 2020 at 8:05 pm
#55’s guy Cam Akers
April 24th, 2020 at 8:05 pm
Yessss!!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:05 pm
Picked Winfield
April 24th, 2020 at 8:05 pm
Like the kid but Phuck!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:06 pm
Well if they don’t go Epenesa, that means Wirfs couldn’t convince him
April 24th, 2020 at 8:06 pm
Antione Winfiel, hmm his Dad played for the Bills. Bucs get a Golden Gopher safety. The Licht RB curse continues.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:06 pm
Akers is a better receiver And faster.
Dobbins is a little quicker.
Both are good.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:06 pm
Safety Winfield!!!!!!!! I’ll take that!! Needed safety! Great Pick!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:06 pm
GOOD PICK
Some people will hate this and haters are going to hate cause running backs decide NFL games in the modern era to the boomers in here.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:06 pm
They picked Winfield
April 24th, 2020 at 8:06 pm
Winfield
April 24th, 2020 at 8:06 pm
Winfield it is…..I can roll with that
April 24th, 2020 at 8:07 pm
Definitely wanted Epinesa but Winfield is a dang good consolation prize.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:07 pm
He was the best Safety left and its a position of need.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:07 pm
Greg Auman Twitter had the name of the pick before You Tube Channel did
April 24th, 2020 at 8:07 pm
Was hoping a decent safety would be left. Hoped for delpit but I can take that
April 24th, 2020 at 8:07 pm
A 5′ 9″ 200lb safety with an injury history…
Uh… Licht has mostly sucked picking DBs – he should have stuck with what he knows, the offensive line.
Not sure about this.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:08 pm
Bucs aren’t playing baby!!!! Filled our two biggest needs!!!!
Now land Zack Moss and we are frickin set.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:08 pm
Dobbins or Akers!!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:09 pm
Well, I do like this from ESPN… “Winfield is a plug-and-play starter at safety, and if he does hold up physically, he should emerge as a high-level starter for a long time.”
April 24th, 2020 at 8:09 pm
There will be a RB in round 3. Good pick.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:09 pm
Well that sucks
April 24th, 2020 at 8:09 pm
Trade Oj Howard to the Bears – and lets get back in this.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:10 pm
Alright, move back into the bottom 2nd for RB if your guy is still there.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:10 pm
JK Dobbins! Come on down!!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:10 pm
This is Bruce Arians “honey badger”
April 24th, 2020 at 8:10 pm
YESSSSS Good Pick Licht Way to do your Job Licht! Build up the lines. Now he can draft a an RB if Fromm isn’t there.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:10 pm
Great pick
April 24th, 2020 at 8:10 pm
Damn good pick.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:10 pm
HAHAHAH BUCS GOT OWNED AGAIN.
I called it… I knew Licht was targeted Delpit and thought he’d fall into his lap since he didn’t try and move up for a RB.
So, of course, Delpit gets taken one pick before us.
Winfield is a consolation prize. The target was Depit.
DAMMIT.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:11 pm
Oooooh SH*T WE GOT HIM!!!!! WE GOT WINFIELD JR GUYS!!!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:11 pm
Another high pick on the secondary. With a game changer at RB, Pass rusher to replace JPP long term or any number of guys to replace Suh.
Could have traded down and got this guy.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:11 pm
we drafted a midget
April 24th, 2020 at 8:11 pm
Guess not. Lol
April 24th, 2020 at 8:11 pm
Met a need. I like it.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:11 pm
He is barely 5’9” going against 6’3 WRs.
Identify know. Hope it works out.
I hope Akers will be available in rd 3.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:11 pm
Hamler gone, he is going to be special
April 24th, 2020 at 8:11 pm
My fears came true. Our safeties sucks. We need help in the secondary. Plug in day 1 guy.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:11 pm
Luvmybucs,
The Bears have their TE. They drafted one.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:11 pm
Damn, that means Evans isn’t really coming back. I wanted an RB, particularly Dobbins. However, I like this kid.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:11 pm
Ivan stop talking like you know anything lol I’ve seen you be wrong numerous times throughout the day but hey you are confidently wrong so I’ll give you that.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:12 pm
Terrible pick!
The best RB in the Draft was sitting right there!
Licht screws it up again!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:12 pm
Better make that OJ trade soon!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:13 pm
k
April 24th, 2020 at 8:13 pm
I wish we would have traded down, but it was a need and his stock matched the pick
April 24th, 2020 at 8:13 pm
I’m cool with this. Suggests to me they aren’t confident Evans is ready.
Playmaker back there.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:13 pm
We missed on Dobbins.. wow it’s a Bucs life.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:14 pm
RBs are worthless. I’d rather have fixed the secondary over wasting a pick on a RB.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:14 pm
I’m so over this sorry excuse of a gm
April 24th, 2020 at 8:14 pm
Guys dobbins is probably the most overrated back in the draft.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:15 pm
If Cam slides to us in 3rd I would be ecstatic
April 24th, 2020 at 8:15 pm
Great. A 5’9 safety in the NFL is gong to get eaten alive. Fast and can cover, in college, but I remember another fast and small guy that we wasted a pick on not too long ago…VH3. Here we go again?
April 24th, 2020 at 8:15 pm
I don’t think we’re taking a RB until late in day 3. Maybe they really think Ronald Jones is going to be much better🤷🏿♂️
April 24th, 2020 at 8:15 pm
Hargreaves was not fast
April 24th, 2020 at 8:15 pm
I like that his father was three time Pro Bowl at the position. Kids of stars like McCaffery, Bonds etc seem to always do pretty well.
I think this guy is going to be a player and with he and White flying around our D people better have their heads on swivels.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:15 pm
TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE PICK THEY HAD THE RB THERE FOR THE TAKING I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS GM ON PASSING ON DOBBINS REALLY REALLY JASON !! SMH ON THIS PICK NOT GOOD AT ALL !!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:15 pm
We got two first round talents, I love this draft so far. Still 5 backs left
Dobbins
Moss
Akers
Dillon
Benjamin
April 24th, 2020 at 8:15 pm
Surprise pick. But looks like a superb one. Fills a definite need. RB later.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:15 pm
I like it, but his height is a slight concern. He’ll hopefully put it to rest on the field.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:16 pm
He’s a 1/2 inch taller than his All-pro father was. I like the pick a lot. Tampa can pick up a RB in the 3rd.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:16 pm
I’m very glad we went defense. Guys Bowles knows what he’s doing with DBs. This could turn out great for us
April 24th, 2020 at 8:16 pm
Obviously shows the brass has full confidence that we already have our RB1 on the roster. With great new OL and TE , lets give him a chance
April 24th, 2020 at 8:16 pm
THIS MAKES ME WONDER…
Bucs may have been targeting a “Hammer & Lighting” backfield… ala Alstott/Dunn.
Bucs might have their sights set on A.J. Dillon in the 3rd to bring in a big powerback that can also catch to compliment Ronald Jones.
Won’t surprise me at all if they go Dillon in the 3rd.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:16 pm
“Great pick
Heed Kobes word
Strange things are happening during these strange times
2 teams picked the wrong player that Licht wanted
Wirfs and Winfield are better than Willis or Delpit
Nasty players”
Kobe Faker
April 24th, 2020 at 8:16 pm
The Bucs don’t need a RB, been tell you guys that forever. If you watched the game, you’d see how good Ronnie was late in the year, the guy looked great. He was a high 2nd rounder for a reason. We didn’t and don’t need a RB – can get one off the FA heap for nothing to be the 3rd down guy.
The more I read and hear from some people in Minnesota the more I like the pick – he is literally supposed to be a day 1 starter, fantastic speed, ball hawk. If he really is that, then fantastic. The size is very concerning, but if he’s a free safety, which I assume he is, then that’s not as big of an issue.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:16 pm
ok justin evans career is simply over…what a shame
April 24th, 2020 at 8:16 pm
Love this pick and guarantee he’s a day 1 starter !!!! OT, Safety, and now it’s get the RB time !!! Loving this draft and anyone hating on this pick really doesn’t know football or what our team was lacking, but so STOKED
April 24th, 2020 at 8:17 pm
Unless we plan to run a bunch of outside zone I don’t want Dobbins here.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:17 pm
We’re all in for Cam Akers in rd 3 it looks like
April 24th, 2020 at 8:17 pm
Oh buddy… Who needs a RB?! Not Licht
April 24th, 2020 at 8:17 pm
You don’t pick a player based on measurables. You pick them based on non measurables
April 24th, 2020 at 8:17 pm
Now will Jake Fromm be around this far in the 3rd? I’d like to see it, but not sure it will happen.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:17 pm
tampabaybucsbro…..disagree….strongly! Dobbins is a dual threat and could be a 2,000 yds from scrimmage type of back!
Jason Licht might as well draft another kicker in round 2!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:18 pm
I’m fine with the pick. We needed a safety and AWJ will be a good one. But Dobbins was there and I thought for sure he was a Buc. Oh well. Let’s hope we grab Cam Ackers in the third.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:18 pm
Wish we would have gotten JK Dobbins but Antoine Winfield Jr is a real good safety and we needed one so I’m not complaining.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:19 pm
We’ll be ok… But damn he shocks the hell out of me. It’s dalvin cook all over again
April 24th, 2020 at 8:19 pm
Tampabuscsbro… how is he overrated? Passed Eddie George and Zek Elliots all time rushing record and was sniffing Archie Griffins record.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:19 pm
Folks, Ivan The Insider is an idiot…and apparently a physic. What an act!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:19 pm
Im not gonna lie….We needed a Safety! As much as I also wanted RB, and Dobbins was there….well, we have one….so we went with the bigger position of need.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:19 pm
lambchop
Skipped that. Thank u
April 24th, 2020 at 8:20 pm
Winfield is a little short to be matched up against some of the WR’s in our division. Hope they don’t end up sorry they didn’t get Dobbins. I just hope they can find a decent RB in the third.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:20 pm
bla bla bla on measurables. He has instinct, heart & great bloodlines. Those trump a couple or a few inches EVERYDAY…..
April 24th, 2020 at 8:21 pm
OT/G Wirfs
FS Winfield
Now we NEED that RB….Dobbins/Akers/Dillon
April 24th, 2020 at 8:21 pm
Man, the Panthers are going all-in on defense.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:21 pm
Seahawks trade up to 48, Jets get 59 and 101. RB to SEA?
April 24th, 2020 at 8:21 pm
Cause he played around a great line Winnfield was a much better player to take and a much bigger need. we improved the offense a lot and the line it’ll be easier for whoever is running to run with this offense.
TRUST ME.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:23 pm
Ill never understand the hand holding on this site.
donuts Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:21 pm
This pickup will allow them to cut Justin Evans – Mr boot.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:23 pm
So far, the Bucs are being pretty smart about this. They are not buying into hype over media favorites. They are doing what needs to be done. I love it.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:23 pm
Well at least the first pick was good. This second pick is going to get owned. Watch some of the games and highlights he did not do well against taller WR’s! They were trying to fill a need but they reached on this one. Leave it to the Bucs they can’t handle any kind of good momentum.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:23 pm
I bet this Gibson dude is our Target.
Y’all wanted a RB. But this team can’t ignore the defense. We just started looking good last year. We have to build on that.
On the few highlights they showed Winfield looks like he can help in pass coverage. Thats something we need badly.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:24 pm
So there’s Dobbins, Akers
And also there’s Zack Moss out of Utah
No other team needs an RB besides Miami
One of the 3 has to be available at No. 76!!!!
#notajinx
April 24th, 2020 at 8:24 pm
Not worried about his size, our CB’s are long and fast. This is a Bowles pick and he will know how to use him. I guess Wirfs and Nelson couldn’t convince them on their Iowa teammate
April 24th, 2020 at 8:25 pm
I enjoy the rants by Ivan the Insider
April 24th, 2020 at 8:26 pm
? Is can we move OJ for a pick.. let’s see. Not looking good everyone else sees what we see, tape don’t lie…
April 24th, 2020 at 8:26 pm
In Bowles I trust. You know he pressed for this pick over a RB
April 24th, 2020 at 8:26 pm
Yeah, not a bad pick, but we still need a RB and a WR.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:27 pm
This clearly tells us Justin Evans isn’t coming back
April 24th, 2020 at 8:29 pm
All these experts suddenly talking about how 5ft-9 is too short for safety
Last time I checked, all-world safety Earl Thomas is only 5ft-10, so there’s that
April 24th, 2020 at 8:29 pm
What’s up with Epenesa? Is there a gas mask video somewhere?
April 24th, 2020 at 8:29 pm
@Ivan
Agree completely about Dillon. Great complementary back to ROJO and he has soft hands and decent speed especially for a guy his size.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:30 pm
Delpit was there in our grasp and Browns swiped him just think one more spot in the standings we would have Wirfs, our fourth, and possibly Taylor or Delpit
April 24th, 2020 at 8:31 pm
ANOTHER G-D DEATH DEDICATION
April 24th, 2020 at 8:31 pm
Tampabuscsbro… you obviously didn’t watch film on him. The line was COMPLETELY rebuilt which consisted of red shirt sophomores and a couple JRs. Check his stats then get back to me.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:31 pm
Go look at the RB from cincinnati. Michael Warren ll. I think he is better than Dobbins straight up. I also think he will be there in the 6th and 7th rd. maybe UDFA.a 1000 yard rusher in every year in college. if he is a UDFA, it would cost nothing to take a look.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:33 pm
Rams took Cam Akers. Dobbins on the board still.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:35 pm
King C – Interesting, Earl Thomas is 5′ 10 200lbs – he looks bigger than that, I swear he was closer to 220.
Yeah, my initial impression was that this new guy is way to small, but reading more, the more I like the pick. Thankfully he’s not slow – Licht LOVES slow defensive backs.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:35 pm
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
April 24th, 2020 at 8:35 pm
Stpetebucsfan…..I like Dillon, too….been singing his praises for months. But Dillon is a special guy, and would have made this offense damn near unstoppable. I’d be happy if Dillon is there for us, but I can’t believe we FRIGGIN HAD DOBBINS….and let him go.
Disappointing.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:35 pm
All the decent RB’s will be taken before the Bucs pick again!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:36 pm
Rams taking Akers indicates that the trade the Rams did for Henderson at pick 70 last year for 2 very late 3s may not have worked out for the Lambs….
April 24th, 2020 at 8:37 pm
DBs are having a major run
April 24th, 2020 at 8:37 pm
I watched the Dillon highlights, then watched more highlights, then watched some non-highlights, and the guy is completely unimpressive. No idea what you guys are seeing. He is a very basic north/south runner with no wiggle, no agility. Has good power, but nothing special, not what you’d expect at his size. Doesn’t catch the ball. Has good straight line speed, but again, watching stuff, he just looks average. Probably his change to make a team is based on special teams. 5th rounder in my mind. In the 5th round, then OK I guess, most bust so not a big deal – but certainly not in the 3rd.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:39 pm
There goes Cam!! Grrrrrrrr
April 24th, 2020 at 8:40 pm
Jalen Hurts an Eagle. I thought Chuckie or Bellicheat would get the Bama/Sooner kid.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:40 pm
Jalen Hurts to Philthy
April 24th, 2020 at 8:40 pm
Bye Bye Akers!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:41 pm
Cam is better than Dobbins.. oh well
April 24th, 2020 at 8:41 pm
Welp there goes cam. Good job Licht. You had one job tonight.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:41 pm
Miami will take a RB before us for sure
But who else needs a RB
April 24th, 2020 at 8:42 pm
Dobbins and aj dillon
April 24th, 2020 at 8:42 pm
Nothing about our offense suggests a back like Dillon would be a target for us. Doesn’t mean he’s a bad player but he just doesn’t fit. The fit does matter people.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:42 pm
Wow, they just gave up on Wentz… Amazing.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:42 pm
“Mark it down
Cam Akers going to be a star
2k run/recieving yds player next year
Skillset perfect for the NFL”
Kobe Faker
April 24th, 2020 at 8:43 pm
Package OJ Howard and the third round pick and get Dobbins
April 24th, 2020 at 8:43 pm
Great job Jason. Yep a safety is more important than a RB. I forgot, we have Rojo and Dare.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:43 pm
JimmyJack – I think Dillon is a bad NFL player, at least as a RB. Might be a good special teams guy – maybe as a very dedicated short run guy, but even there he doesn’t run with enough power to be that. People think he’s Alstott for some reason, and he’s not even in the same league as Alstott.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:44 pm
cam could be best RB in this draft.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:44 pm
Dude Lichts job is s not to get who you want? Remember y’all were the same morons crying “Weapons for Winston”. How did that work?
April 24th, 2020 at 8:44 pm
We need to trade OJ and move back into round 2 and take Dobbins…
April 24th, 2020 at 8:44 pm
I have to agree with the Faker; that Akers kid ran behind one of the worst OLs in recent Power 5 history and still made plays. With a decent OL he might have been the top RB on the board.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:45 pm
Wow, the Eagles just gave up on Wentz. That is a big big deal… Wow.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:45 pm
What is the plan for the Bucs at RB? Ronald Jones doesn’t instill confidence in me (yet). Is there a diamond in the rough for round 3 or later???
April 24th, 2020 at 8:45 pm
Watch out for Zack Moss!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:46 pm
Rojo is a solid RB. If he stays healthy he will have a good year. We still need a replacement for Dare though…
April 24th, 2020 at 8:46 pm
I never saw Dillon but everything I heard suggests he’s a full back type. Anybody that thinks he sounds like a good fit for Bruce’s offense might be soft in the head.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:46 pm
Elita Vita ..they’ll all be gone by rnd 3.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:48 pm
Moss would be sneaky good!!!
Gibson too with flex at receiver
April 24th, 2020 at 8:49 pm
Free agent RBs…
Devonta Freeman
Lamar Miller
Chris Thompson
Theo Riddick
Bilal Powell
Isaiah Crowell
Ty Montgomery
Devontae Booker
That is not a bad list of players, if they’re healthy. The only issue for a lot of these guys is health. For the Bucs, a guy like Chris Thompson or Riddick, as a 3rd down back, is a perfect fit.
As an overall backup, Freeman or Crowell is an excellent pick.
These guys are all going to be cheap. This is why we don’t need to worry about RB. Ronnie is very good. Compliment him with one or two of these guys. The other good thing about a vet is that they’re generally better in blocking, and the top thing is to keep Brady upright.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:50 pm
Bucs pick 12th in the 3rd. Good chance Licht missed the boat on RB again. Maybe they trade up with OJ Howard and get a day 3 pick to boot if lucky but this is typical Licht, it is like he is allergic to plug and play RBs.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:51 pm
Akers is the real deal!! Big drop off after Dobbins is snatched up!
April 24th, 2020 at 8:52 pm
Boom, there goes Dobbins
April 24th, 2020 at 8:53 pm
Safety needed to be addressed anyways though.
Great rb’s left on the board be damned I guess.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:53 pm
Ronnie is more than a solid back, he’s a good back who at the end of the year was a very good back. He averaged 4.5ypc in this offense, that’s the same as David Johnson did in this scheme in his monster year. Ronnie started off the year poorly, in the dog house, but by week 17, he was totally THE guy and played like it.
You guys should be 100% sold on him.
What the Bucs need is a 3rd down back to compliment him. Also a second veteran backup isn’t a bad idea. I mean if they can get Devonta Freeman and Bilal Powell – that’s some sold backups, and probably just veteran min guys.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:53 pm
If someone like Baun or another dlinr drops to 3rd do we just sign a back like Freeman?
April 24th, 2020 at 8:54 pm
@Rod
Honestly if we didn’t sign Melvin Gordon then picking up one of those also-rans doesn’t make sense
Less upside than of the RBs coming out of college
April 24th, 2020 at 8:54 pm
I’d take Antonio Gibson, if he’s still around in the 3rd.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:54 pm
wow some teams have 2 RB and we have none.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:55 pm
Isn’t that matibuike guy still left too?
April 24th, 2020 at 8:55 pm
Jk to the Ravens. Now that’s a good fit. I don’t think he fits here.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:55 pm
We needed a starting RT and we got one. We needed a starting safety and we got one. So far so good. RB and WR would be nice but not an absolute necessity.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:56 pm
no what?
April 24th, 2020 at 8:56 pm
Ah damnit, Ravens already rich at RB get richer. Dobbins is gonna ball out with LJax
Now we’re in trouble I’m afraid bc Miami has two picks before us and could use an RB for sure
April 24th, 2020 at 8:56 pm
We are getting a back. Calm yourself and take a deep breathe. Trust me we aren’t entering the season with Ronald and Dare as our backfield.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:57 pm
Raekwon Davis to Dolphins
April 24th, 2020 at 8:57 pm
Guess Licht will be waiting outside the other team’s gate when the cuts come for an RB…..a little disappointed we don’t have a better RB for Brady’s game.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:57 pm
Marine Buc well said
April 24th, 2020 at 8:57 pm
“Damn
Baltimore FO sure knows how to draft
Baltimore and Buffalo is top team builders”
Kobe Faker
April 24th, 2020 at 8:57 pm
Antonio Gibson in the 3rd, please.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:58 pm
Man, these OT’s keep falling. Bucs should trade up and grab another. Can always trade a pick from next year if needed. We are in win now mode, so the future be damned.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:58 pm
In Licht I trust…
Said no one.
April 24th, 2020 at 8:58 pm
Don’t draft need..
Take a flyer on perine.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:00 pm
Dolphins are having a terrible draft after Tua, this Bama DT they just grabbed has a day 3 grade…….
April 24th, 2020 at 9:00 pm
IF Moss goes my target would be Eno Benjamin
April 24th, 2020 at 9:00 pm
Damn, not another year without drafting a rb
April 24th, 2020 at 9:01 pm
yeah, I’d take Gibson. can play WR-RB and return kicks.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:02 pm
make a trade with Jacksonville Fournette for OJ Howard
April 24th, 2020 at 9:02 pm
Lewis drop Bama could be a sacker.
Like Gabe Davis from ucf.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:03 pm
No need to trade up for a RB now! Moss could fall to us. But Phins will grab him first. Hope Rojo stays healthy!
April 24th, 2020 at 9:03 pm
Yeah, Fournette would be a great pickup, but we don’t have to give up OJ to do it. Fournette can catch the ball, which is the top need, plus is a legit power guy. Makes total sense.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:04 pm
Oh my… Bill Bilichick trades for Wentz… not this year, but next year when they have cap space.. book it.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:05 pm
Rams take a Gator, Van Jefferson.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:06 pm
We should have grabbed Hurts with our 2nd
April 24th, 2020 at 9:07 pm
They will pick an RB and it could be Patrick Taylor RB-Memphis.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:10 pm
I hope to see us take corner in round three. Just so I can watch all y’all meltdown. That would be entertaining to me.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:10 pm
Ezra Cleveland to the Vikes, run on 2nd tier OTs before Bucs pick?
April 24th, 2020 at 9:11 pm
Get another small, slow DB in the 3rd!
April 24th, 2020 at 9:11 pm
Dang…..fell asleep….was up all night and most of today….where we at?
April 24th, 2020 at 9:11 pm
We don’t have $ to sign Fiurnette. Bucs are $4.6M over the cao thanks to overpaying for Gronk.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:12 pm
Josh Jones is still available. That is a surprise. I thought he would be a late first early second pick…
April 24th, 2020 at 9:14 pm
Haha, screw you JimmyJack, lol
April 24th, 2020 at 9:14 pm
Madubuike in the 3rd, Perine in the 5th/6th.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:15 pm
BSPN keeps tipping the picks. They show the player getting picked before it’s announced. EVERY TIME.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:15 pm
I keep waiting for on of these fans on the little TVs to flash Goodell. It should have happened already.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:20 pm
Antonio Gibson in the 3rd, Davon Hamilton in the 5th, Alton Robinson in the 6th, Cole McDonald in the 7th
April 24th, 2020 at 9:20 pm
LOL those fans on TV can’t see Goodell – plus it’s probably pretaped
April 24th, 2020 at 9:20 pm
Zack Moss still available?
April 24th, 2020 at 9:22 pm
Admiral Redbeard, spot on. Hurts has way more to offer. We just can’t keep drafting cb and s. Could of had adams with all the number 2 and 4 we burned on s.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:22 pm
lambchop – Yeah, ESPN is terrible. IT’s show the player getting picked, talked about the pick for 15 seconds, then give a god damn death dedication, then 10 minutes of commercials talking about the plague…
April 24th, 2020 at 9:24 pm
OMG ANOTHER G-DAMN DEAD DEDICATION
April 24th, 2020 at 9:25 pm
Moss is available still.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:26 pm
I wonder which late round QB we will be picking up?
April 24th, 2020 at 9:26 pm
Packers snag AJ Dillon RB from BC. Bit of a reach?
April 24th, 2020 at 9:27 pm
Whew!
I wanted no part of AJ Dillon for us
April 24th, 2020 at 9:28 pm
LOL! A backup QB and a RB who is going to average 3.2ypc for Rodgers. You know that crybaby is going to be in tears.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:28 pm
BigZ, I just don’t see Winfields size, speed, and vert, translating well to the NFL. Hopefully he plays much faster and bigger than he is.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:28 pm
Bucs should trade Howard to Green Bay for Aarron Jones since they just drfated a qb and rodgers wants weapons
April 24th, 2020 at 9:28 pm
hoping to see OJ trade for Fournette
April 24th, 2020 at 9:28 pm
Give me GIBSON now!!!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 9:29 pm
Been calling Zack Moss’ name all night
All eyes on Miami at #70 if he’s still on the board
April 24th, 2020 at 9:29 pm
☝️A Fournette trade would be awesome!!!!!!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 9:30 pm
I’d like to see James Morgan in the 5th for our backup QB.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:30 pm
Dillon is going to be a beast for the Packers. Teams will have to load the box now, freeing up receivers for Rodgers to pick teams apart.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:31 pm
Come on Licht don’t let me down. Trade up and get Troy Pride before he gets gobbled up.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:32 pm
@Marine, Thank you Sir….Yeah, just saw Dobbins gone…alright Moss
Zack Moss please Mr. Licht.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:32 pm
Is this Gay related to our Gay?
April 24th, 2020 at 9:33 pm
Baun, Madibuike, Moss, or even Josh Jones (think we have our tackles for now.. surprised he’s there)
April 24th, 2020 at 9:34 pm
So RB or DT in the 3rd? If we trade OJ maybe we can get both tonight.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:36 pm
I was thinking Eason as a 3rd rounder is a great investment…but Josh Jones is tempting. If he can play LT?
April 24th, 2020 at 9:36 pm
Trade our 3rd and OJ to move up and secure Troy Pride right now Licht!! Don’t over think things.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:39 pm
What happened to everybody, is 9pm the curfew for going to sleep in Tampa as well?
April 24th, 2020 at 9:39 pm
Panthers trade up and get the Saluki Chinn.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:40 pm
Chinn seems like a safety who is a better fit for this defense, we shall see how this works out.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:41 pm
Damien Lewis guard from LSU in the 3rd.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:41 pm
Madibuike please
April 24th, 2020 at 9:41 pm
Every team’s forum has the resident “Hey-let’s-make-an-unrealistic-trade” guy
April 24th, 2020 at 9:42 pm
Wow, the picks coming in quick now.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:43 pm
Rojas – We are pretty good at G, however if he can play center, there’s $10m available if he can replace Jensen next year.
Jones is still out there too, isn’t he? Now that would be a coup, people talked about him even as high as the Bucs in the 1st.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:44 pm
Now Gibson is gone. Maybe Josh Jones falls to us.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:45 pm
Damn, was hoping Gibson would last to our 3rd round pick
April 24th, 2020 at 9:46 pm
Licht gonna trade down is my guess. He’s gonna gamble Troy Pride will still be avialable.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:48 pm
Can’t wait to see how 5’9″ Winfield covers a 6’5″ TE.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:49 pm
Go get the second best back in the draft. Zack Moss still sitting there.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:50 pm
Licht gonna draft a kicker in the third round. 🤪
April 24th, 2020 at 9:52 pm
Is Josh Jones still available?
April 24th, 2020 at 9:52 pm
How about Winfield vs Julio and Thomas 3x a year. Now way S is more valuable than an rb.
Perune in 5th.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:52 pm
Don’t give Licht any ideas PLEASE!!
April 24th, 2020 at 9:53 pm
Gibson is going to be for the Skins what McCaffery is for the Panthers.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:53 pm
People who don’t know anything about football think it’s as simple as having all 6-ft 4 defensive backs to cover TEs
April 24th, 2020 at 9:54 pm
Josh Jones or Moss, Madibuike
April 24th, 2020 at 9:55 pm
Mel Kiper has a Oklahoma DT on his big board. Do we dare?
April 24th, 2020 at 9:57 pm
By Far, Licht has given us the worst RB stable in the NFL! Not even close!
April 24th, 2020 at 9:58 pm
Goodell is such a d-bag.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:59 pm
DE-Florida. Greenard.
Or
RB – Utah Moss.
April 24th, 2020 at 9:59 pm
Miami out. Now just gotta get past Arizona picking RB
April 24th, 2020 at 9:59 pm
There are 4 very good DTs – Elliott (Mizou), Hamilton (OSU), Madubuike (A&M) and Neville (OU). Any could be the Suh replacement in a year.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:00 pm
Geez, looks like Goodell got sick.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:01 pm
Oj for fournette
April 24th, 2020 at 10:01 pm
Love the Wirfs pick, but it looks like Licht is hellbent on continuing his buffoonery in the second round. Hopefully we address running back in the third. Geez this team is frustrating.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:01 pm
King …. no but a 5’9” safety is a gamble. I do not care how good he is. More and more DBs are 6’ or more and most WRs and TEs are over 6’2”
April 24th, 2020 at 10:02 pm
Worst RB situation but we’ve got a crap load of Tight Ends!! Trade O.J. or Brate! How many tight ends do we need?? Kicker is our next pick.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:02 pm
Madubuike goes to B-more.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:02 pm
Moss?
April 24th, 2020 at 10:02 pm
I never get players crying like girls when they get selected. Have some pride.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:02 pm
Davon Hamilton next, please!!! Bucs Guy, the other three are nice, but not 3-4 DT’s.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:03 pm
Ravens seem to be cleaning up
April 24th, 2020 at 10:03 pm
At this point pass on rb. Moss is not special. Let’s see jw had no ground game and neither will tb. Maybe one year jl will flood the rb position. Sad some teams have a one two punch, but not us.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:03 pm
Crap Jones gone take Eason now.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:03 pm
Draft JACOB EASON Trash 🗑 LICHT !!!!
Now A:/ $ol3
April 24th, 2020 at 10:03 pm
and there goes JOnes……dammit
April 24th, 2020 at 10:03 pm
AH, we got this!
April 24th, 2020 at 10:03 pm
Cards get Josh Jones so scratch OT off the 3rd round wish list….
April 24th, 2020 at 10:04 pm
We’re gonna draft slow Zack moss.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:04 pm
Josh Jones looks like an NFL player, a guy who is going to be mad about being selected in the 3rd… Man, that would have been a hell of a pick that late.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:05 pm
zuniga or Lewis, build our pass rush.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:06 pm
Moss or Baun please. Also am I wrong in thinking height is more important at corner when you’re in the guys back pocket and not as important at safety?
April 24th, 2020 at 10:06 pm
Trash Man Lichtenstein will let Indy Nap town grab EASON bcuz WHY??? BCUZ HE IS TRASH LICHT
April 24th, 2020 at 10:06 pm
Hey just a little thought here…….Just take a scope at the list of RBs that had success in a Tom Brady huddle………You won’t see no flashy names but you will see production. If guys like James White and Steven Ridley can get the job done we might be alright.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:07 pm
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that during these challenging times, our company cares about you. YOU. I’m talking to YOU. WE CARE! The other guys? They lie when they say they care, but WE do care. Give us your money.
Oh, BTW, did you know there was a plague going around? Just in case you didn’t know, I wanted to let you know there was a plague. Just in case you didn’t hear.
Now enjoy this death dedication.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:07 pm
Moss is the second best back in this draft after CEH. Kareem Hunt without the roundhouse.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:08 pm
Troy Pride Troy Pride Troy Pride!!!!! Make it happen Licht.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:08 pm
C’mon rod munch these kids have been working their whole life. They are showing pride if they cry .. they made it. It’s all worth the sweat.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:08 pm
Have thrown in the towel on RBs for this year.
Hamler is excellent value right now.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:08 pm
Moss runs a 4.65-40. Haven’t we already been down this road with slower RB’s? Stop it people!
April 24th, 2020 at 10:09 pm
Moss second best back? Nope that was probably cam
April 24th, 2020 at 10:09 pm
JimmyJack – HEY, wow, you’re finally coming around. RB is not an issue, plenty available in FA – and we can always trade away a future pick for someone who got a back in this draft. Like Mack, or even Aaron Jones maybe, heck maybe Mark Ingram or Fournette. There’s tons of RB options, they’re a dime a dozen.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:09 pm
If you say Moss is not special then you probably know nothing except his combine numbers. They don’t play football in underwear they play in pads where this guy is a terror.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:09 pm
Am I wrong or is height less important at safety than at corner where the guy is more likely to be playing in the guys back pocket?
Gimme baun or moss
April 24th, 2020 at 10:10 pm
They need to pick up RB ANTHONY McFarland!! With this next pick .
April 24th, 2020 at 10:10 pm
The pick needs to be Fromm. Two years to learn under TB12 and he could be a clone. Has the same football sense and quick release. Threw less interceptions in 3 years than our last guy threw in 3 games.
If not Fromm (for some odd reason) then it would be fun to have Little Booger.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:12 pm
Moss broken tackle rate is just unheard of. We don’t need 2 or 3 80 yard runs in a season if the dude is bashing 5 per run. That’s what Moss is, an Ezekiel Elliott type.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:12 pm
Saints just jumped us. Fire Licht now
April 24th, 2020 at 10:12 pm
Zack Moss! Alvin Kamara ran a 4.6 40 too at the combine…and he wasn’t as big. Watch the tape, not the combine stats
April 24th, 2020 at 10:12 pm
Saints trade: get #74 from Cleveland for #88 and a 2021 3rd….
April 24th, 2020 at 10:13 pm
The Kareem Hunt comp for Moss is dead spot on!
April 24th, 2020 at 10:13 pm
Eason. Eason. Eason. Eason.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:13 pm
Coburn – Height isn’t a must for a safety, but if they’re trying to line up with 6′ 6″ TE’s like OJ, that’s an issue. But as someone pointed out Earl Thomas is only 5′ 10″ – so he’s not that far off the mark. It’s a bit risky, in my mind, but if he’s good, then it won’t hold him back. He has good speed, is supposed to be a ball hawk and is supposed to be able to tackle.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:13 pm
Noooo FROM SUCKS BRO
April 24th, 2020 at 10:13 pm
Seems like a steal for the Saints… dang
April 24th, 2020 at 10:14 pm
Let’s GOOO BONZAI
EASON JACOB
April 24th, 2020 at 10:14 pm
For what it’s worth, Zack Baun doesn’t look like a LB, he looks like a D-bag, but then again most Saints players look like D-bags.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:14 pm
Come on Moss!
April 24th, 2020 at 10:14 pm
And the Saints get Zach Baun
April 24th, 2020 at 10:14 pm
Hahaha Rod
April 24th, 2020 at 10:15 pm
Didn’t Baun have a diluted urine test? Definitely hurt his stock….
April 24th, 2020 at 10:16 pm
Ok LICHT the guy is there. Do what’s right for the team. TB12 is 43 and one hit away from being out for multiple games, draftva legit backup who can learn
April 24th, 2020 at 10:16 pm
I would not make mind a RB here in the third. My whole thing was it would be negligent to leave Day 2 without a defenisive player like many fans wanted.
We got us a safety so I’m happy. And I love the success Bowles has with DBs so I think this pick has a great chance to pan out.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:16 pm
If we draft a QB I’m going to earn my moderation status here. Too bad y’all willl never see it
April 24th, 2020 at 10:17 pm
Well, whoever it is, it took them seconds to send in the pick.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:17 pm
Waow wtf! FIRE 🔥 LICHT
April 24th, 2020 at 10:17 pm
KeShawn Vaughn!! #LFG
April 24th, 2020 at 10:17 pm
Gimmee Vaughn WILD THING!
April 24th, 2020 at 10:18 pm
Ah, boy.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:18 pm
If we get Moss, combined with the other picks, this will probably be my favorite draft in a looong time.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:18 pm
Choke
April 24th, 2020 at 10:18 pm
Well, didn’t see that one coming
April 24th, 2020 at 10:18 pm
Non-descript RB. Will not likely have an impact. Sad!
April 24th, 2020 at 10:18 pm
What a FAT SLOB u are Jason Trash Licht
April 24th, 2020 at 10:19 pm
Uhh lol.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:19 pm
Atta boy Licht. You just nailed anther draft!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 10:19 pm
Okay Vaughn, guess the brain trust had him rated higher than Moss or Perine….
April 24th, 2020 at 10:19 pm
Did we just draft another ROJO?????????????
April 24th, 2020 at 10:19 pm
Dude calm down…
April 24th, 2020 at 10:20 pm
Meh forgot about this dude. I won’t complain and I’ll withhold judgement until I see dude get down in a bucs uniform.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:20 pm
Wt actual F.
This is like the MJ Stewart pick. Dumb.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:20 pm
ElBajito what is your problem? Are you mental?
April 24th, 2020 at 10:20 pm
Check out Vaughn on YouTube. Solid pick.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:20 pm
poor man’s Clyde Edwards Helaire
I woulda preferred Z. Moss or Eno Benjamin but maybe we had to reach bc we gave away both our 4th rounders
Well, onto training camp we go (if there is one)
April 24th, 2020 at 10:21 pm
Anyone who thinks THIS is a good pick, I urge you to go to NFL combine results, and check out what is said about his weaknesses. Vaughn isn’t even going to make it as a backup in this league.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:21 pm
Don’t know anything about this guy but we got a back. Hopefully he’s good.. they picked him quickly right? Just cause he’s not a big name.. but does sound like a lot of other times we outsmarted ourselves
April 24th, 2020 at 10:22 pm
This guy compares to James White. I’m A ok with that
April 24th, 2020 at 10:22 pm
Who is Keyshawn Vaughn ????????????
April 24th, 2020 at 10:22 pm
Look at the babies crying AGAIN!!
April 24th, 2020 at 10:22 pm
When they ask for a comment on the pick and there is a long pause..its a JL pick. Come on we passed on Dobbins for a Vanda back. I watch a lot of CFB who is this guy? Not an Eason fan but way better value and upside. JL is clueless. Was this a 6th round pick we take in.the 5th? Zuniga Gabe Davis, or Lewis from Bama.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:22 pm
I guess it could have been a kicker!!!??? Licht just drafted another Rojo. Maybe two are better than one?
April 24th, 2020 at 10:22 pm
This was a terrible pick, Charles Sims was a better back than this dude. No lie.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:23 pm
Okay, I can see it. He’s a hard hitting, between the tackles runner with very good hands. He’s 2 inches short than I would like, and a little light, but pounds will be added in the NFL.
I can wrap my head around it.
Complain all you wish, but Arians and Licht are going with the safe, non-splashy players. Guys that can succeed…and play a lot of years.
So far, this iis a solid, if unpredictable draft.
Jacob Eason is still available…and I want him, but I have a feeling we’ll take QB Nate Stanley with a later pick.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:24 pm
Humm… I just watched his highlights and it was just him running through big holes. There were a few nice plays here and there, but in my mind, college RBs need to dominate and have tons of highlights to be worth taking even in the 3rd round. Maybe this was just a bad highlight reel.

“This guy compares to James White.”
Jamaal Williams you mean.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:25 pm
I guarantee most of the people whining have never paid attention to this guy before. Same ones who cryed about Bunting last year most likely.
They are upset because Mel Kiper told them to be.
Understand a little draft history and let the kids know get one freaking carry as a Buccaneer you ever loving morons.
Welcome to the team KeShawn……….GO BUCS!!!!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 10:26 pm
So let’s get this straight…..Jason Licht would rather have an undersized Safety and this kid Vaughn….who is probably the 10th-12th best runner in the Draft….instead of JK Dobbins (the most explosive back in this Draft) and then come back with a guy like Eason, to be groomed as the QB of the future, or…..anybody else….because Wirfs and Dobbins alone would have made this Draft an A+!
Unbelievable.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:26 pm
Smh
April 24th, 2020 at 10:26 pm
I get the sense with this Vaughn pick that the coaching staff no longer wants to deal with immature, undeveloped running backs who left college too early. They want an older, more mentally prepared, mature back I think.
But I don’t think Vaughn has the skills to do anything better than what Peyton Barber ever did. I really don’t like this back compare with others who are still available. Feels like somebody over-thought it.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:27 pm
This pick show the confidence they are going into season with ROJO or they are looking at bringing in some comp in free agency. Didn’t everyone say how Brady brings out the best in everyone? Who heard of James White or Rex Burkhead before Brady.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:27 pm
Solid pick with the vandy back now we gotta trade back into the fourth to get a DT. I would sleep well if we drafted Leki Fotu at some point tonight.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:27 pm
Admiral don’t be a ass. Good football players are made on the grass…….Not on a combine track
April 24th, 2020 at 10:27 pm
This one feels like a reach, but otherwise happy with the Bucs 1st and 2nd round picks. Must be something about Moss’s knee injury making the Bucs (and other teams) pass on him at TB? He seemed like the pick if they wanted RB in round 3.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:27 pm
Maybe there is some merit in taking someones cast-off QB. The trend of the future. It has worked for other teams.
I thought a legit project QB under TB12’s leadership made more sense than a small RB with average speed.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:28 pm
Nice pick. This guy was stuck on a bad Vanderbilt team and still performed very well. He fits our offense perfectly. Good pick!!!
April 24th, 2020 at 10:28 pm
Now do the Bucs call NE about OJ Howard? The Bellicheats have 3rd rounders at 87 and 100……
April 24th, 2020 at 10:28 pm
Tommy Townsend is still out there!
April 24th, 2020 at 10:29 pm
Either no one wants OJ Howard. Or they know we are going to dump him.
We won’t get anything for him.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:30 pm
How is Vaughn a solid pick over Zack friggin Moss? What universe would you pick him first? I can’t wrap my head around it. Someone tell me Vaughn is anything but a JAG. Please tell me
April 24th, 2020 at 10:30 pm
Just reading the comments on this site makes me wonder if some of you have ever watched the Bucs play ever. It’s like guys here are playing Madden in coach mode, trying to build an imaginary team. Most uninformed fan base. We needed a T, S and RB and that’s what we have. Wish we could have gotten Cam Akers, but at least we have someone to help RoJo.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:31 pm
@fortmyersdave just what I was thinking too
April 24th, 2020 at 10:32 pm
A QB did make sense but either way we did have to add a RB from somewhere. We simply didn’t have enough on the roster.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:33 pm
Yeah Jerry, you’re probably right. Anyone who wants a TE will call the Bucs tomorrow at the earliest… So much for a can’t miss steal with character, that is what a few pundits said when the Bucs took Howard. Hmm seems like they got a total bust instead who is an athlete without heart.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:33 pm
Consecutive 1000+ yard seasons. Good pass catcher too.
I may not be getting anyone on my wishlist so far, but I like this draft. Last year, a lot of you freaked out when they took the secondary players, and that worked out great.
So my advice is to see how these guys are by the end of the season at least.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:34 pm
what a running back choice. could have gotten him in 6 round. leave it to the buc’s to stink things up when everything is going fine. WTF crazy pick
April 24th, 2020 at 10:34 pm
Jerry Says
“Either no one wants OJ Howard. Or they know we are going to dump him.”
Or the Bucs don’t actually want to get rid of him. Smoke and mirrors, buddy.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:35 pm
Our backup QB project should be James Morgan in the 5th.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:35 pm
JJ, I wasn’t even looking at his numbers. I read the analysis and it was not what we needed. He’s more of a clone of Barber, who we just let walk.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:36 pm
Good production. Same exact 40 time as Nick Chubb.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:36 pm
Vaughn is hardly a ROJO. I think it was a solid pick. He can catch out of the backfield and breaks tackles after the catch. Should be a solid pass blocker too. Big dude. Good compliment to ROJO.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:36 pm
Hope Jones is ready to come alive. I doubt this pic will even make the team
April 24th, 2020 at 10:37 pm
4.52 to be exact. Not bad for a stout RB like him.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:38 pm
Licht overthought this pick. He would have been there in the 6th or 7th.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:38 pm
According to fans on this site Noah Spence was a absolute steal of a pick and Bunting was was a epic failure.
Yet y’all come back and repeat the same thing every year.
It takes more then combine scores and mock draft status to develope in solid NFL players. Some guys got it some guys don’t…….Stop pretending like y’all know what “it” is. You don’t.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:40 pm
What red beard said. Way over reached. Moss and Benjamin are better backs with more upside.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:40 pm
Preach JimmyJack lol.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:40 pm
Tomorrow, I wouldn’t ming getting Kicker Rodrigo Blankenship. He just looks cool, lol.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:41 pm
I wrote this in the other RB thread, but as a follow-up, I found a different highlight video that is 9:11, and he looks a lot better in that one. I don’t know about the basic north/south label, I didn’t see that in this other video, he’s not shifty, but he does make some good jukes to make guys miss – but he runs in a way that you can tell he has good vision. Good vision is THE top trait for RBs so long as they have at least acceptable speed, and this guy does.
There wasn’t a lot of him catching the ball, but he looked smooth doing it.
I didn’t want a RB pick, don’t think we need it, but I don’t mind this one the more I see.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:42 pm
John Says
“Hope Jones is ready to come alive. I doubt this pic will even make the team”
We have the open spot, so unless an undrafted guy comes in and out-does him, he’ll make the team.
And it’s going to be hard for the undrafted guys this year…with no camps or OTAs.
We also don’t have the money to get Fornette.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:44 pm
Well admiral like I said good football players are made on grass. Not on a sheet of paper or on a internet screen reading his bio.
Yeah if he’s a Barber clone it wasn’t a great pick. We are yet to get to that point.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:45 pm
BTW, the new Rams logo is just beyond awful, it’s terrible.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:47 pm
I just don’t see the point of not being behind a pick before you ever even saw him play. That’s just not my style. I guess we are all different though.
To be honest it all just sounds like a temper tantrum because you didn’t get you way. Similar to how a toddler would act.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:47 pm
JimmyJack – Watching more of him, he’s not anything like Barber — if anything he’s more like Ronnie. As I see more of him, I don’t know where the basic north/south stuff is coming from, in the highlights he’s running north and south, but he is flowing in and out of traffic and can juke guys out of their shoes. He’s not a put your head down for 3 yards and a pile of dust guy like Barber.
The only issue is Ronnie is already that runner, so getting a similar guy isn’t giving you a complimentary skill set. But whatever, no idea how they see things, maybe Jones is still in the dog house.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:49 pm
North-South Runner w good hands! Like the pick. Would of loved Akers/Dobbins in the second.. went to Vandy for a couple years. He’s got to be Smarter than McPlaybook! Seen him play the Gators and LSU. Dudes got heart! And talent.. Poor mans CEH in many aspects with out the Jukes’. Moss’s knee problems maybe why he continues to slide
April 24th, 2020 at 10:50 pm
This from draftnetwork.com
Best Trait – Vision
Worst Trait – Pass Protection
Best Film – LSU (2018)
Worst Film – Florida (2019)
Red Flags – None
Player Summary – Ke’Shawn Vaughn projects as a low ceiling running back at the NFL level. Vaughn shows good vision between the tackles and fulfills all of the basic requisites of an NFL back, but he doesn’t really have any traits that he can really hang his hat on as a next level player that would prompt a team to provide him with a featured role. He’s a quality back-up running back as part of a stable, but he’s not going to demand his pro team to feed him carries. Depth player and as such, a Day 3 target.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:50 pm
Like every draft , every year with Licht at the helm I am disappointed and left shaking my head. However, all the complaining in the world won’t change anything now. In the end I still hope all of these guys will be pro-bowl studs.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:51 pm
JJ, I do agree, great players are made on the grass. I hope he works out. Wasted draft picks is never good.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:53 pm
To the people complaining about Winfield being to short at 5’9″… Tyrann Mathieu is also 5’9″ and it doesn’t look like it’s much of an issue for him.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:54 pm
Zack Moss gone.
On the bright side, I remember when people here wanted Brain Hill. How did he work out/>?
April 24th, 2020 at 10:54 pm
Somehow passing on Cam Akers feels just like passing on Dalvin Cook.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:54 pm
The 2021 season will be a dumpster fire for the ages. Will probably look a lot like 2011. At least Licht will be gone. I think he’s pulled the last of the rabbits out of his hat this offseason.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:54 pm
Heading to bed, gonne stream on my tablet. Later
April 24th, 2020 at 10:54 pm
NDog likes him. Now I’m seriously worried. lol, just kidding pupster. I think (hope) we all wish him to do well.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:55 pm
Does everyone agree they are a playoff team?
That the defense has improved Drastically the last 2 years?
That the offense could be the best the Bucs have ever had?
Then why are so many bitching and whining about Licht and his picks????
HE BUILT MOST OF THIS TEAM!
There sure are a lot of ignorant football fans in Tampa.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:57 pm
Not everyone agrees they are a playoff team.
April 24th, 2020 at 10:57 pm
Oh wait, that’s Ndog is an idiot, haha. See what happens when you sail with the Captain during the draft. CHEERS!
April 24th, 2020 at 11:00 pm
Rod Munch I saw a few clips of this guy catching the ball. He looks pretty natural at it.
I will hope that this is part of the reason they drafted him. That would add something that Ronald doesn’t do.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:05 pm
All the licht haters realize he built this team right ? Lol. Idiots and haters.
Vaughn or Moss…. WHO CARES? It’s a 3rd rd RB. It’s a crap shoot.
At least Vaughn played real competition and he can catch and is explosive and doesn’t dance around.
Sounds good to me.
As Winfield- don’t like the height BUT he is a ball hawk and can tackle.
So we shall see.
3 rounds, 3 massive needs met.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:06 pm
Goodell just said the NFL raised millions for covi*-19. Wow, the NFL are terrible people, why would you want to raise money for that!?! What terrible people.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:08 pm
Hmm, Akers went the Lambs…I did hope he’d be a Buc but Licht went safety….
Hey. I thought Darrell Henderson was supposed to be a steal last year which is why they traded with Licht for #70 for 2 late 3rds. Guess that Memphis kid did not pan out.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:09 pm
Rod, I just hope the money goes to people in need not like govt loans to ruth Chris……
April 24th, 2020 at 11:10 pm
JimmyJack – He didn’t catch a ton of passes, but he looked pretty smooth doing it. I’d have to see more than highlights to really get a feel for him, but some of his early highlights at Illinois, I think I see what the Bucs see.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:10 pm
Well David it’s been 5 plus drafts and he hasn’t had a playoff team yet. He missed hard on 2 (maybe 3 with OJ) of his 5 1st rounders. Has only helped his D-line with one early pick during that time. And up until yesterday he drafted only 2 O-Linemen =, and they were 3rd rounders. Ask John Lynch if stacking your lines helps you win games. 3 years and they went to the SuperBowl. This isn’t rocket science. If he just quit reaching every draft I would have less issue with him.
I do give him credit for his free agents. I would say more have performed than haven’t.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:11 pm
FortMyersDave – He didn’t say it was for relief, he just said it was for the plague. See, that was the joke. Had to see him stumble on TV otherwise I guess it makes no sense.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:14 pm
Why do people want to chase off OJ? Have you read how the team plans on using Gronk more as a receiver? The nonsense here of wanting everyone to bust because they’re not mean enough, GRRRRR!!!!! If you’re not mean, you can’t play, GRRRRR!!!!!
What I hope is they tell OJ to lose like 20lbs and put him at WR – the Bucs have garbage depth at WR. If you get rid of OJ, and lets say Gronk gets injured like he had been all the time his last few years in the league, now you have just Brate at a position where you were the deepest in the league. That would be stupid.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:15 pm
Ahh, Thanks Rod, I’m not watching. Following the draft on computer now so I am missing the follies!
April 24th, 2020 at 11:16 pm
Yes David, we realize he built the team and it’s never achieved anything of note. I think Jason has earned most of that blame don’t you? Some people have qualified them for the playoffs already. I see older players at the end of their careers at HUGE positions and that carries a high probability for disaster. I’m also not sure this draft has helped this team that much. These statements may be obvious but they aren’t ignorant.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:19 pm
Rod, I think it is the perception about OJ that is putting people off. He says he has not spoken to Brady but he will get around to it while Brady says he got the phone numbers of all the guys he will be working with. Then add in the addition of Gronk and perhaps people assume that would make OJ unhappy. I don’t know what the guy is thinking but I think he has not performed to the level which we expected when he was a “can’t miss” good character wholesome pick from Bama and he did show some flash early, then he got hurt and then he found the Arian doghouse…..
April 24th, 2020 at 11:30 pm
Those 4th round picks would be nice to have back now. Could package them up and trade up to get Fromm.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:32 pm
Rod I want OJ gone because I think he sucks as a football player. Plain and simple for me.
The three things I want in a TE
1) soft hand
2) can work the middle of the field
3) physicality……ideally as a blocker
OJ does none of that
Luke Stocker was a better football player.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:35 pm
FortMyersDave – Well he should be really happy if they say lets get you a lot more balls as WR, he’d make a hell of a lot more money there if he was any good. From the Bucs side I don’t know why you wouldn’t try it – if they don’t like his blocking, then move him out so he doesn’t have to block.
OJ had an awful year last year, but his first two years he looked like a future star if he could stay healthy. You don’t throw away guys like that. Why Arians doesn’t like him, I don’t know, but I find it impossible to think Brady won’t like him. Why he said he’d talk to Brady later, I don’t know, but we are going through a pandemic. Who knows what was happening at the time he was asked about it, if he was like a lot of people, they were at the time in full panic mode. But I’ve never heard anything about OJ not being a good guy, and Arians talked about him like he still fully expects to have him around (not that it means much since coaches often do that).
April 24th, 2020 at 11:35 pm
Pats get #91 and 159 from raiders for #s 100, 139, 172. So looks like no dealing to be made with Bellicheat.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:39 pm
JimmyJack – OJ doesn’t suck at football. He had a bad year last year, in years 1 and 2 he looked like a future all-pro. Also he’s not a great blocker, but he’s not terrible either. He is however a 1st round pick by the team, and I don’t like throwing those guys away. The guy has tons of talent, showned tons of promise pre-BA, so just get him back on track.
Also, no, Luke Stocker is not a better NFL player, if you honestly believe that then you might need to get an MRI to make sure you haven’t had a stroke or some other condition that has cut off blood flow to parts of your brain.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:39 pm
Yeah Rod, we have to remember that misdirection is a key tool in the draft, free agency and other nuances of the NFL and perhaps the stories about Howard in the media are a bit of a smokescreen. For all we know, OJ might be an integral part of the offense. Time will tell.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:44 pm
I disagree OJ looked like a future star. All’s I ever saw the guy do was run if there are no tacklers around.
So ynless you can scheme him wide ass open he’s pretty well useless.
He’s always had issues holding onto passes. He does not have good hands. It just wound up costing us much more this year.
No hands, can’t work through traffic, can’t block worth a lick. I don’t see anything star TE about the guy.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:47 pm
Oh no. OJ is a terrible blocker. Terrible. If you set there and really focus on OJ and watch him he is awful in blocking. And our OL gets racked over the coals for our poor running game but OJ was a big reason why. Maybe the biggest reason.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:51 pm
All that said I will give OJ a clean slate if he does stay.
But only because we have Tom and Brady might be able to get him to rise his game. Gronk might teach him something too.
I won’t bet on it but I will keep my mouth shut about OJ if he stays.
But I won’t be surprised if Tom Brady quickly loses trust in OJ and does not throw to him.
April 24th, 2020 at 11:51 pm
With pick 101 the Bellicheats select a TE from Va Tech. No need for OJ in Foxborough…
April 24th, 2020 at 11:52 pm
Talk about doubling down. 2 TEs in 3rd by Pats…..
April 24th, 2020 at 11:54 pm
JimmyJack – He has a lot of catches with someone right on his back, but in large part he was so wide open because he’s a matchup nightmare, a guy who is 6′ 6″ 251 and runs a 4.51, bigger and faster than Evans. Under Dirk he was schemed open, but that’s what you should do for good players, get them the ball in places were they can make plays. Teams played back on him because they were scared he’d run over the top. The guy is a legit weapon, at least under Dirk he was.
Under BA, I don’t know what he did to get in the dog house, but last year he was not very good. He personally caused a bunch of INTs, most famously the around the world dribble against the Saints.
But the guy has tons of talent and there’s no reason to give up on him. If they can get a good return, then OK, move him and turn it into a 3rd WR. But frankly I’d rather keep him – I just can not see Brady not loving him. Worst case you use him mainly as a WR, best case, he’s back on track and is a pro-bowler this year.
April 25th, 2020 at 12:01 am
JimmyJack – I went back and watched some OJ highlights just to make sure I wasn’t remembering things wrong, and nope, he looks like a stud. A bunch of contested catches to go along with stuff where he’s open, but he’s also just running away from LBs on a lot of these routes. They need to show this highlight reel to BA so he realizes what he has – and I’m sure Brady has seen this already.
His blocking is not bad – he’s fine. This is like the false rep that Alstott got, that he couldn’t block, it was nonsense. At the same time guys can improve as blockers, most do. Last year he got in trouble because he was juggling easy passes – that is a huge no-no.
Anyways, watching these highlights got me excited about him again. Get OJ the DAMN ball!
April 25th, 2020 at 12:04 am
Rod Munch we just disagree. OJ just aren’t my cup of tea man.
We all got our own ways of looking at things. We just don’t see eye to eye on this one. Never will.
I’ll admitt the guy has some untapped potential and I very well could be proven wrong. That’s fine. If it was me I’d already be done with this guy…..The bottom line for me is I could never trust this guy in a big game or a big moment. I don’t think you win with guy like that.
Lump him in with the Ty Hilton’s and Amiri Coopers of the world who are really good talented players that melt in big games……..For good measure you can put Gerald himself into that catergory.
April 25th, 2020 at 12:05 am
And Rod Munch if you don’t know what OJ did to get in the doghouse rewatch the 49ers game. And not just the fumble or dropped pass. Every play. You will see a awful football player on that field.
April 25th, 2020 at 12:06 am
You watched highlights? Hahaha…….I just did that for Hargreaves. I think we made a mistake.
April 25th, 2020 at 1:21 am
Cheers Admiral… long couple of nights.. best player available rest of the way. 7th rounders need to be players that we feel may not sign w us as UDFA. They are late first rounders! Good spot for guards from smaller schools to coach up
