NFL Draft Night 1, Open Thread

April 24th, 2025

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

There’s an inkling of news already.

It seems, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, among the four teams looking to trade back are the Bucs. So it seems Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht started his night and has finished walking his dog as he does each draft day for good luck and peace of mind.

Joe is just fine with trading back. That means more defensive pieces to add.

So fireworks may begin early. Stay on JoeBucsFan.com all night long. Comment here with any Bucs or NFL thoughts.

Let’s have fun tonight. Joel Buchsbaum would!

  1. JA Says:

    Repeat:
    If Licht goes offense in Round 1, no matter who is available, he should fire himself on the spot!!!

  2. SteveK Says:

    Go Bucs!

  3. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    trade back could be dreamy

  4. Defense Rules Says:

    All I want is for JL to draft more than 330 lbs in Rnd 1. THEN we’ll be talking pass rush.

  5. Stillabucsfan Says:

    Draft DEFENSE

  6. Redzone Says:

    Trade back for Logan Hall 🙄

  7. WilieG Says:

    I’ve been up since 4am so I want one of two things:

    A trade up so I can go to bed, or a really exciting pick with #19 so my exhaustion will be worth it.

  8. MadMax Says:

    JA, fire yourself! stop being a maroon….I know we need D but if who we want is gone and WR is BPA, then thats that.

  9. MadMax Says:

    I say trade back if possible if who we want is gone at 19…… Emman/Starks/Harmon maybe are still there.

  10. MadMax Says:

    Take a quick nap WilieG…i feel you, ive been up since 6am

  11. Woodman Says:

    Agree MadMax. In Licht we Trust

  12. MadMax Says:

    Wheres my drinker Aqua? Im already 12 beers in lol….plenty of time for more (no hard stuff though)

  13. Jmarkbuc Says:

    WillieG

    Sounds like it could be tomorrow..

  14. Pickgrin Says:

    Fingers crossed hoping for Ezeiruaku!!!!

    If not then hoping for a trade down – or BPA on Jason’s board at CB or DT if we have to pick at 19.

  15. BayouBullet Says:

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that the Panthers, Buccaneers and Seahawks are among the teams that are open to moving back in the first round.

  16. LakelandSteve Says:

    Saw an interview with Rhonde Barber interviewing Licht yesterday and Barber brought up that the Bucs only have 6 draft picks this year. Licht responded with something to the effect of you can always use more draft picks. So, I would not be surprised if the Bucs trade down to pick up an extra pick or two.

  17. Really Says:

    Lol

  18. MadMax Says:

    I def would be ok with trading back. So much talent between 2-5 to only have 4 picks there. But it has to be worth it. And I still wouldnt trade past 26,27,28 unless its VERY worth it.

  19. Aqualung Says:

    Let’s get to the important topic. What’s Jason’s first food course?!

  20. Aqualung Says:

    MAX!! Attaboy! I’m always moderated so responses are delayed. You nailed it. BPA but if our top guys are all gone and the next is the 30th ranked prospect by JL and team, the trade down happens. Drink up me lad, yoho!

  21. Dewey Selmon Says:

    Denver is in prime (20) position to trade back to screw Pittsburgh (21). Sean Payton been around the block. I look for Licht to outsmart him and trade back and screw Denver. Someone is going to fall to us and we’ll get an extra pick.

  22. ATrain Says:

    Please don’t trade back

    We need some Defensive help

  23. Aqualung Says:

    Repeat this in your head – Jason knows more than we do.

  24. infomeplease Says:

    Trade back if you can still get a starting ILB or CB/Nickel! IMHO! Or perhaps even a beastly DL capable of rotating in and out with VV50 and CK94 without losing much impact to keep them all fresh throughout the game.

  25. MadMax Says:

    Emman/Starks/Harmon/Nolan/Ezer….i dont know but I see late 20’s

  26. infomeplease Says:

    Who ever the first pick is, he should be a difference maker, a playmaker, and a hard working-team first player!

  27. Knothead71 Says:

    I’ll have to read who the pick is in the am.
    I’m about 9 beers deep and have to be up at 0300.
    I trust the FO office.
    GO BUCS!

  28. buctoothbucky Says:

    I’m okay with whoever we draft as long as they can play. We really know until at the end of the season if our pick was worth it. Bucky wasn’t on any of you guy’s radar and look what happened. And just to make sure I went all the way back to last year’s draft comments and he was not mentioned. Some of you even criticized the bucs for drafting him. LETS GO BUCS.

  29. Chris Says:

    We are going to have a really good draft this year.

  30. Dewey Selmon Says:

    I just watched Peter Schrager on BSPN, he is trying to spread rumors and things that will not happen. he has no inside info, he is now a corporate schill. He will end up like Kay Adams, regretting ever leaving the shield.

  31. DuckyIrving Says:

    Matthew Golden

  32. BillyBucco Says:

    I think we end up taking another 3rd rounder who slipped because he got hurt at WR.
    If Jalon Walker slips to 10, you gotta go get him.

  33. Simeon4HOF Says:

    LFG

  34. MadMax Says:

    Draft day is my Christmas, New Years and Bday all in one.

  35. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Amen to that

  36. Trask To The Future Says:

    WELCOME TO TAMPA BAY, COLSTON LOVELAND (TE)

  37. BucsFan81 Says:

    LFG Go Bucs!!!! Another step closer to regular season.

  38. BucsBeast Says:

    Time to watch Sanders FALL and the Bucs trade back.

  39. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Trading back in first is the lick

  40. Simeon4HOF Says:

    The 2025 Draft is Here!

  41. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    If Donovan Ezeiruaku (1A) or Walter Nolan (1B) is off the board, the smart play is to find a trade partner and slide back a few spots. Stay patient, pick up value, and let the board come to us. Here’s to another draft on JBF 🍻

  42. MadMax Says:

    @buctooth, na dude, i was all over us drafting Bucky or Estime….google search it with my name and Bucky and this site, it will pull up….i would do it but links arent allowed here.

  43. dbbuc711 Says:

    I keep wondering how long it will be until they call Shaduer Sanders “Not Ready For PrimeTime”

  44. MadMax Says:

    Yo LUV, you ready?

  45. Bucsfan1988 Says:

    HERE WEEEEEEE GOOOOOOO!!

    And with the 19th pics of the NFL draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select………..

    NICK EMMANWORI, safety from South Carolina!!!

    Todd Bowles new toy!!!!

    6’3”, 220lbs, 4.38, WRECKING MACHINE!!!

  46. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    There’s plenty of buzz around potential draft-day moves. We’ll see if the Bucs throw their hat in the ring. A deal for Trey Hendrickson or Mark Andrews would be interesting—two proven vets who’d make an immediate impact.

  47. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    MadMax

    Yessssirrr

  48. JA Says:

    Madmax——
    “Maroon.”
    So I’m an off color of red?
    Love it when someone calls another stupid by revealing their own lack of same …
    😂😂😂
    Better take some night classes!

  49. tgoodwin Says:

    Yahoo!!! here we go!!!!!!

  50. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Jesus, start the MFing draft already!

  51. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    This is embarrassing. Don’t quote the orange man right now. He’s personally tanked he economy!

  52. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    I will buy everyone on this thread a beer and a jar of mayonnaise if the Titans don’t take Cam Ward.

  53. MadMax Says:

    Its slang for moron JA….get with the times lol

  54. Capt. Bucs Says:

    Edge please. Thank you, Jason.

  55. MadMax Says:

    Jags trade up to #2….wow

  56. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Wow look at lil Duval. Surprise

  57. firethecannons Says:

    Tonight is holy night and we celelebrate in honor Joel Buchsbaum. I hope we do not go safety or small corner. Would love to trade down and pick up Walter Nolan or even Jihaaaad Campbell at the end of the 1st round. I would be excited to get a reciever.

  58. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Man, El Serpiente gave up his 1st round pick next year……

  59. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    He may play on both sides of the ball, but he ain’t gonna start on both sides of the ball and play the whole game.

  60. BucsFan81 Says:

    Jaguars just traded their whole draft basically. That’s why they suck as a franchise. Cant wait to see Cohen fail for what he did to the Bucs

  61. Bucsfan1988 Says:

    Cleveland just made out like a bandit to only move down 3 spots and get a massive haul from the Jags!!!!

    STUPID move by Jacksonville!!! 😂😂😂

  62. Pa Privateer Says:

    Been coming to JoeBucsFan for a long time for all my bucs info. This is one of my favorite times to be on this board.

    I really want a trade back or BC Edge Donovan Ezeiruaku

  63. Zman Says:

    I don’t think it was enough to get hunter. Now Cleveland misses out on Carter too.

  64. ATrain Says:

    I don’t think this kid is worth all of that

    Dumb Trade Jags

  65. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Love Travis Hunter.

    But Jags silly af. Traded almost their whole 2 drafts essentially.
    Classic Jax dumb f-ery lol. Coey feel like hot ish rn

  66. Jmarkbuc Says:

    I missed it .. what did Jax give up?

  67. Josh Says:

    How could you not take that trade if you’re Cleveland? They absolutely fleeced Jacksonville.

  68. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Cleveland controls this draft and next lol.
    So much for them getting Hunter and Sanders tho

  69. DailyRich Says:

    The Jags didn’t give up their *whole* draft — they basically swapped 1sts, 4ths and 6ths — but giving up their #2 this year and #1 next year seems pretty steep.

  70. DailyRich Says:

    And GOT a 6th, I meant.

  71. JA Says:

    Coen will now have his hands full!
    Best player in the draft drops on his lap.
    Now why would Cleveland walkaway from this guy?
    Another mistake or, for a change, good judgement in acquiring all those picks?

  72. Josh Says:

    You can have all the draft picks in the world, but if you handle them like Cleveland did with Baker Mayfield, it won’t matter. It’s like having all the ingredients for a five-star meal and then handing them to someone who can’t cook.

  73. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    cleveland needs an OT maybe?

  74. BucfaninMi Says:

    It’s not often they have no glaring need. Get a toy!

  75. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Just saying, to move up a few spots they now have no 2nd or 1st next year

  76. MadMax Says:

    I need Cleveland to draft QB Sanders next…..THAT would be epic LOL

  77. DailyRich Says:

    There’s buzz Cleveland may be looking to trade down again.

  78. Trask To The Future Says:

    *** BREAKING NEWS ***

    My “sources” tell me the Bucs are going TIGHT-END.

  79. Lord CorneliuS Says:

    Cleveland gets ammo for a qb move next year with 2 1s, on top of pick 36 this year. I like it for them depending on who they pick at 5/36

  80. Aqualung Says:

    Browns do a non-Brown thing. Sanders gonna be a Brown? That would be a Browns thing.

  81. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Browns drafting Sanders next would indeed be epic

  82. Aqualung Says:

    MadMax – modded out again I am – how ya feeling my broski?

  83. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Yea I got a lil salty about Hunter going there lol

  84. MadMax Says:

    Wide awake Aqua….watching my in take though…just buzzing lol

  85. DailyRich Says:

    Scheftie says Panthers are taking calls for the #8 pick.

  86. Aqualung Says:

    Browns do non-Browns, do a trench to help Miles.

  87. Usfbucs Says:

    Man I hope we get a D lineman, Kancey, Vea, and another guy getting pressure up the middle would push the QB into Reddick or Diaby.

  88. Aqualung Says:

    Good on ya MadMax!

  89. Shak Says:

    Hurry up!!

  90. D-Rok Says:

    Pick 6 by Raiders, Ashton Jeantry, is a sick RB. Lynch-like. Wow hadn’t heard of this cat. It’s like nobody can tackle him.

  91. D-Rok Says:

    Great pick by Spytek.

  92. Aqualung Says:

    Grant……still…….there……..

  93. Shak Says:

    D-rok, so he’s Bucky? Lol

  94. SteveK Says:

    Jeanty is nice.

  95. BucsBeast Says:

    Hoping Unprime Sanders falls so we can trade back.

  96. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Raiders start this draft with a quality pick and not a reach. Amazing the importance of stealing Spytek from us.

  97. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    If Jeanty isn’t all that he’s supposed to be it’s a horrible pick

  98. Ancient Says:

    @Aqualung…7:23

    Hmm. You say Jason does huh..

    Like this..

    2016– Hargreaves (1st round)
    Spence (2nd round)
    Aguayo–a KICKER–(2nd round)

    2017–OJ Howard (1st round)
    Justin Evans (2nd round)
    Kendell Beckwith (3rd round)

    2018–ROJO (2nd round)
    MJ Stewart (extra 2nd round trading down)

    2019–Sean Murphy Bunting (2nd round)

    2020–Keshawn Vaughan (3rd round)

    2021–JTS (1ST ROUND)
    Kyle Trask (2nd round)
    Jaelon Darden (4th round twig)

    2022–Logan Hall (1ST ROUND)

    So…in summary, based on above clearly JL does not necessarily “know” and CHOOSE better than we all…would, also adequately equally informed.

    In a best case, for Jason…..it depends. See above.

  99. DailyRich Says:

    I don’t think it took a genius GM to grab Jeanty in that spot.

  100. Woodman Says:

    Where you been D-Rok under a Rok how could not here of this guy?

  101. D-Rok Says:

    Shak, Jeanty is Bucky on juice. Geez it’s taking TOO long for the Bucs to pick at 19!!! (Just admiring a good athlete).

  102. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    gonna be Tet i bet

  103. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Jeffrey Becker, ain’t that true for all really high 1st round picks?

  104. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    was waiting for someone to say that alvin, but it’s way worse with RBs

  105. D-Rok Says:

    I’ve been reading only JBF for draft picks, not scouring the boards for all the best players. I don’t care much for pre-draft hype, I just worry about who the Bucs DID draft, and then I chek ’em out.

    I work, don’t have time to watch film on all these prospects. Jeanty blew my mind with his tape. Anyhoo…are we at 19 yet? LOL. Go Bucs!

  106. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    short careers lots of injuries etc

  107. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Meanwhile, the Lightning are 10 minutes from being shut out in this game and out of this series……

  108. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    he’s gonna make a lot of dough too, not super hard to find great RB that won’t make that much (bucky)

  109. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Doesn’t matter how many picks Cleveland gets…they will suck.

  110. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    watching bolts too alvin sigh

  111. Tim Says:

    McMillan to the Panthers

  112. Shak Says:

    Ok D-rok np, was joking really. Just saying we got an unstoppable dude late and this guy was the 6th pick.

  113. D-Rok Says:

    @Alvin, I am pissed we lost Spytek. Everything I heard about the guy said he’s a rising star, and we see why with his pick at 6. Licht and Spytek – the dynamic duo, until it wasn’t. SIGH.

    I think Spytek was way underrated working for the Bucs.

  114. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    that pick is offensive

  115. Irishmist Says:

    Canales thinks he’s getting Mike Evans 2. He’s mistaken.

  116. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Not M1K3 Evans. Not even close lol

  117. D-Rok Says:

    I hear ya Shak. Let’s see how Jeanty plays this year compared to 2nd year Bucky. I have a feeling Bucky gonna shock the league (more) this year, if healthy. Bucky is incredible.

    For me:
    Bucky RB1
    Tucker RB2
    White RB2a/pass down specialist

  118. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Do the Saints want a QB or what??

  119. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    D-Rok, I hope we don’t feel we miss Spytek after these first two nights of the draft.

  120. D-Rok Says:

    I’d rather the Bucs get Golden over McMillan. Speed kills.

  121. Drunk Bucs Fan Says:

    Carolina said the heck with it, we’ll try and win 41-38

  122. unbelievable Says:

    LOL Jags.

    McMillan sounds like a clown

  123. KABucs Says:

    Saints go OT

  124. Beeej Says:

    I HATE these teams that do the whole 15 minutes, JUST like fantasy fooseball

  125. D-Rok Says:

    Alvin, I think Spytek was pretty special. I was pissed he left. He’s a genius yo, IMO.

  126. KABucs Says:

    May they all take OTs.

  127. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    saints feel like a Warren pick to me

  128. Beeej Says:

    dang, was hoping Aints took a QB, stretch out the guys we might get

  129. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    nope

  130. KABucs Says:

    3 OTs already. An area where we’re set.

  131. Saskbucs Says:

    Love that the Panthers and Saints went offense. Let’s keep the offensive train rolling… show me Warren, Loveland and Golden in the next 5 picks!

  132. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    cowboys prolly want golden

  133. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Keep the OTs coming

  134. Drunk Bucs Fan Says:

    Oh boy, get ready for that trade down from 19. Someone will want to jump the Steelers if the qbs are all still there.

    My hope is the Steelers call so we can pick up a little something and not drop too far

  135. Usfbucs Says:

    Uggh get these women off the stage, annoying as f

  136. unbelievable Says:

    Colleen is smoking, I don’t mind listening to her yap for a few minutes

  137. unbelievable Says:

    Colleen Wolfe > Roger Goodell

  138. unbelievable Says:

    Test

  139. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Sorry Future to Trask there went ur TE

  140. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    bears fans complaining about ‘value’

  141. unbelievable Says:

    Apparently there’s a blonde NFL Network host we can’t name here. But I’d rather look / listen to her than Roger Goodell, that’s for sure

  142. unbelievable Says:

    lol nevermind

  143. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    LaPorta II

  144. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Lightning have 1:44 left in their season if they don’t score.

  145. Bucs 95 Says:

    Draft shaduer hes falling rn

  146. Joe Says:

    Colleen is smoking, I don’t mind listening to her yap for a few minutes

    >>> You ought to see her in person. Top shelf! <<< Also, you should see Jane Slater in person. Wow, TV doesn't do her justice. Striking.

  147. Bucs 95 Says:

    Im gonna be bold if dart or shaduer is still there at 19 take either !!! f the edge rush crap get ready for the future

  148. BucsFan81 Says:

    I wonder if they will trade white in the next day or 2. I am ready for the Buck and Tuck show again. They were running over people this past year.

  149. Drunk Bucs Fan Says:

    How about that, all those people who predicted Loveland would be the first TE were right

  150. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Well, the hockey season is over here in Tampa.

  151. Beeej Says:

    I’d kinda like them trading RW—would LOVE to see what Sean Tucker could do with 15 runs per game

  152. D-Rok Says:

    I see McMillan more as a chain-mover, whereas Golden is much more explosive. But geez, why we talkin’ ’bout WR’s for the Bucs? We got ours. I think the Bucs will grab a WR sometime but not a premium pick.

    O my gosh the suspense is killing me – WHO will we pick at 19?

    I’m with DR in we can get over the top with a 9,000 pound beastly dominating Godzilla at NT/DT. Not cuz Philly did it, but cuz it would improve our woeful D immensely.

  153. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    things are going well from the Bucs’ perspective imo

  154. unbelievable Says:

    @joe – Hope I get to one day! lol

  155. Bucs 95 Says:

    Draft shaduer let him sit behind baker for a few years then we get his dad come coach here dynasty

  156. BayouBullet Says:

    Cowboy’s go guard…. Wow

  157. D-Rok Says:

    “Joe Says:
    April 24th, 2025 at 9:17 pm
    Colleen is smoking, I don’t mind listening to her yap for a few minutes

    You ought to see her in person. Top shelf!”

    You’re just trolling us Joe, LOL.

  158. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Love to see that Fossil, Jerry Jones, in the Cowgurls war room. What a joke! They haven’t been relevant in at least 30 years.

  159. Simeon4HOF Says:

    This Draft is falling beautifully for the Bucs so far

  160. Bnasty25 Says:

    Trade up licht for walker from Georgia!!!

  161. SteveK Says:

    Would we take gray zable or Kenneth grant? A big time trench player would be ideal. Even a DT.

  162. Irishmist Says:

    Goodell got squished. Love it.

  163. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    This draft IS falling pretty well for our Buccos so far.

  164. Beeej Says:

    Read a short bit ago that Tom Landry piloted 30 B-17 missions over Europe, (makes Jerry even MORE unlikeable, if that is possible)

  165. BayouBullet Says:

    I think a could possiblity we trade back

  166. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    i think the booker pick is the first one that didn’t get an ‘A’ grade on TheAthletic (B+)

  167. Aqualung Says:

    Lining up good for JL lads.

  168. Simeon4HOF Says:

    O Lightning smh. Time for JL to cheer up the home fans

  169. BayouBullet Says:

    Damn

  170. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Damn

    There goes Grant

  171. Beeej Says:

    Dang, there goes Grant

  172. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Edge’s a fallin ..

  173. MadMax Says:

    Had to make a beer run….so the kitties got low IQ Tet, thats awesome!! 🙂

  174. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    sorry joe. you were right Grant went early early

  175. BayouBullet Says:

    Grant went to Miami…. Damn

  176. Irishmist Says:

    Damn

  177. Beeej Says:

    All the safeties and corners still on the board, also Walker

  178. Simeon4HOF Says:

    ATL definitely going Edge unless they go QB again lol

  179. Aqualung Says:

    Sheeeet- a Phish.

  180. unbelievable Says:

    Dang, was hoping Grant might fall to us

  181. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    If we stay at 19, we’re gonna have some great players to choose from. However, I would love a king’s ransom for someone to trade with us to come up and get Sanders.

  182. BUC CHEEKS Says:

    NOOOOOOOO that was my guy

  183. BayouBullet Says:

    Someone needs to pick jihaad Campbell we we dont

  184. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    could work if Steelers like him Alvin

  185. Aqualung Says:

    Scissors – love the idea

  186. Woodman Says:

    I feel Mattew Golden coming

  187. Bucs 95 Says:

    DRAFT SANDERS

  188. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    that’s what she

  189. MF Bucs Says:

    Sanders 😂

  190. Drunk Bucs Fan Says:

    If Jihaad is there and we take him, I have to trust in the team DRs that he’s good to go. And if he can’t play for the first month of a HOF career, I’m good with that.

  191. BayouBullet Says:

    Raheem drafts another QB… Lol

  192. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    If we can’t work a trade down. Still on the board right now are:
    Golden
    Walker
    Starks
    Nolen
    Harmon
    Green
    Barron
    The SC Safety
    The BC Edge
    Campbell – depending on his shoulder
    Johnson
    Most will be there!!!

  193. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Is atl OK lol

  194. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Falcons taking their sweet ass time. Clearly hoping to trade back.

  195. CleanHouse Says:

    Should we take Prime Time Jr?

    I say yes

  196. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Carrier pigeon got lost lol

  197. Bucs 95 Says:

    We need a future QB get sanders or dart there falling bad rn lets be bold for once

  198. Saskbucs Says:

    Barron or Ez please come on baby… let’s get a top CB or Edge to us!

  199. Beeej Says:

    We dont need a future qb for at least 5 years

  200. Usfbucs Says:

    You all can’t be serious, Sanders would be terrible for us

  201. BayouBullet Says:

    Damn again

  202. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Love Sanders. But we have Baker

  203. Beeej Says:

    Dang, Walker gone (expected)

  204. unbelievable Says:

    Falcons lucked into that big time

  205. StormyInFl Says:

    “CleanHouse Says:
    April 24th, 2025 at 9:45 pm
    Should we take Prime Time Jr?

    I say yes”

    I say no. So do most sane people. He isn’t that good, and then you get the Coach Prime sideshow to go with it.

    No thanks.

    The Bucs don’t need a QB. Definitely not Sanders.

  206. Saskbucs Says:

    Walker gone… don’t be silly AZ… Bengals take Mike Green…. It’s shaping up nicely

  207. Beeej Says:

    The only DB taken thus far is Hunter

  208. Simeon4HOF Says:

    DBs and Edges galore still

  209. Half_Sac Says:

    Some of y’all watch football or just talk our your asses?

  210. Aqualung Says:

    Repeat after me…..trust…….Jason……

  211. MadMax Says:

    CLAP CLAP, CLAPCLAPCLAP… EMMAN WORI…CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP….EMMANWORI

  212. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Top CB still on the board
    Top WR still on the board
    Lots of good EDGE’s still on the board
    Still a couple good DTs still on the board
    Campbell still on the board, if he has two shoulders and is not a Stone Crab

  213. Usfbucs Says:

    We are going to get a great pick for our needs

  214. Big Canoe Buc Daddy Says:

    I say no to Sanders. We don’t need the drama. Let’s dial up the D

  215. Aqualung Says:

    The constant mid muffle sucks

  216. rrsrq Says:

    Only Walker and TMac off the board so far as a possible pick

  217. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Sanders ain’t Prime..nowhere near.

    He’d be the worst move we could make.

    Worst for a lot of teams..

  218. Big Canoe Buc Daddy Says:

    Half_Sac – Some of us do both!

  219. D-Rok Says:

    2 picks away – who do you guys think the Bucs will pick at 19?

  220. Beeej Says:

    Nolen, he was on the list

  221. BucsBeast Says:

    Trade back

  222. BucsFan81 Says:

    Run on defense is now coming.

  223. KABucs Says:

    Nolen no Buc.
    Gone.

  224. MadMax Says:

    There goes Nolan, dang

  225. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    falcons got first A+ of the night on athletic. hard to screw that pick up

  226. Leopold Stotch Says:

    Welp

  227. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    All signs pointing towards CB

  228. Scott Says:

    This has went as good as it possibly could for us so far.

  229. SteveK Says:

    Wonder if we see a trade back

  230. MadMax Says:

    They’re going after our guys Jason….cant play around anymore….just go get him!

  231. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Might have been a good pick, hypothetically, but going to the falcons is a fate worse than death.

  232. D-Rok Says:

    I’d say CB/S or ILB for the Bucs at 19 right now. Not sure what player, but position. Definitely not punter, LOL

  233. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Seahawks are gonna take an OL or a WR. So, only one more pick to be concerned about…..

  234. D-Rok Says:

    Sorry, MLB not ILB

  235. SteveK Says:

    Would love to see a qb hungry team trade up with us and we get multiple picks.

  236. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    I’m starting to feel it will be a Texas kid. Either Barron or Golden.

  237. Bucsfan1988 Says:

    Like I been saying, it’s all setting up now….

    Walter Nolan off the board….
    Not worth taking any other defensive tackles in the first round.

    Still think it’s my safety from South Carolina, Nick Emmanwori !!!!

  238. D-Rok Says:

    Alvin I’d be happy with either at this point.

  239. TheBigSombreo Says:

    Too bad Kenneth Grant is already gone… loved the highlight reel Joe posted a few weeks ago

  240. Usfbucs Says:

    Bengals going edge I think

  241. SteveK Says:

    Let’s go Bucs! Do something crazy!

  242. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    Wow Cinny smh lol

  243. BucEmUp Says:

    Will johnson please

  244. Capt.Tim Says:

    Shemar Stewart

  245. SteveK Says:

    Shemar Stewart to the bengals

  246. Zman Says:

    Not sold on Johnson. Kinda slow and injured. Golden or Egbuka could be the pick. I’d likeca trade back a few at this point. Might have a taker before pitt.

  247. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Giants may jump Pittsburgh trade with us

  248. Big Canoe Buc Daddy Says:

    I’m liking Pearce, Jr. Only minutes away!

  249. toopanca Says:

    Time to trade back into the second for enough capital to try to come back into the end of the first twice

  250. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Steven

    There just aren’t any.. Pit and that’s about it.

  251. D-Rok Says:

    Ezekurah? (spelling)

  252. SteveK Says:

    Give me a trade back, savvy Licht.

  253. unbelievable Says:

    Man they just drag this ish out soooooo badly

  254. MadMax Says:

    Thats what Im hoping for Bucsfan1988

  255. BayouBullet Says:

    EZ coming our way

  256. SteveK Says:

    Let’s go Bucs. Do it!

  257. unbelievable Says:

    Cleveland takes our #19 pick to grab Sandwrs? We get a few extra picks

  258. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    Donovan Ezeiruaku—come on down.

  259. D-Rok Says:

    *DRUM ROLL* We finna pick very soon!

  260. Leopold Stotch Says:

    Lmaooooo Bungals

  261. BucsFan81 Says:

    I like the South Carolina Safety also

  262. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Rather trade back than pick WR

  263. ChiBuc Says:

    What did Green do. How you get 17 sacks and get out drafted by a 4 sack guy

  264. MadMax Says:

    Yeah LUV, that was a reach

  265. Jmarkbuc Says:

    toopanca

    Huh? That seems like the juice ain’t worth the squeeze. And unlikely, back twice in the first?

  266. BucsBeast Says:

    Hoping for a trade!

  267. SteveK Says:

    Come on Bucs, find that QB needy team to trade up and get paid!

  268. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    I want Barron!!!!

  269. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Only one trade so far ..

  270. Jugheadfla1 Says:

    Barron….calling it

  271. SteveK Says:

    Let’s go nerds, can’t wait for us to pick a baller. Hope it’s a trench guy.

  272. Capt.Tim Says:

    Damn, that was my pick for Bucs.

    Guess it’s Donovan or Jihaad now

  273. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    MadMax

    Insane. And you wonder why they’ve never won a Super Bowl.

  274. Bucs 95 Says:

    I WANT SHADUER

  275. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    I would love a trade back, but unless Licht is hammered, we’ll get a great pick at 19!!!

  276. Usfbucs Says:

    Seahawks going CB, might be a good opp for us to trade back if somebody wants Sanders

  277. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    Eze! Eze! Eze!

  278. D-Rok Says:

    We on the clock, guys. Exciting! Only 3 more minutes…

  279. SteveK Says:

    Gray Zable Seahawks. We are on the clock!

  280. Mr. Editor Says:

    Will they cut to commercial during the Bucs pick? It seems to happen every year.

  281. KABucs Says:

    Seahawks go guard!!!

  282. Godlovesbucs Says:

    Glad Shemar is off the board. 3 years and 4.5 sacks. That is scary bad.

  283. SteveK Says:

    Give me a trade back or the trenches. Go Bucs! Bring it.

  284. JustOneGame Says:

    James Pearce JR

  285. BayouBullet Says:

    We got options !!!!

  286. Woodman Says:

    Golden

  287. SteveK Says:

    Come on Jason, work it.

  288. KABucs Says:

    So many choices!!!

  289. BucsBeast Says:

    Bucs take the top CB

  290. D-Rok Says:

    Campbell or Eze Eze, methinks/hopes. I have no idea what Licht will do

  291. Aqualung Says:

    Blunder it Seattle – a smorgasbord awaits for Jason.

  292. SteveK Says:

    Arrrrrgh! It’s time

  293. Saskbucs Says:

    Oh baby. Too many options. Please be Ezeriraku !

  294. BayouBullet Says:

    @godlovesbucs

    Yes agreed

  295. MadMax Says:

    Emman/Starks/Harmon….or trade down

    I WANT EMMANWORI

    HERE WE GO!

  296. Beeej Says:

    Wow, nearly ALL the possibilities are there! (I’m going with unpronounceable dude from Boston)

  297. Simeon4HOF Says:

    All Safties available. Nolen gone so no DT;
    CBs there, Golden there.
    ????

  298. Pa Privateer Says:

    I want EZ

  299. SteveK Says:

    CB from Michigan, or Eze from Boston?

  300. Saskbucs Says:

    Must be a headache for them right now … EZ, CB, Campbell, Golden !? What to do what to do!?

  301. Beeej Says:

    ur killin me Joe

  302. StormyInFl Says:

    “Bucs 95 Says:
    April 24th, 2025 at 10:04 pm
    I WANT SHADUER”

    Can he rush the passer or cover receivers?

    They don’t need him and he’s horribly overrated too.

  303. Woodman Says:

    There is break we knew was coming

  304. Aqualung Says:

    OK Jason – pick of the remaining litter.

  305. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Trade back JL

  306. Big Canoe Buc Daddy Says:

    Changing my mind. I’m on the Eze train! LGLG!

  307. Pa Privateer Says:

    trade back or EZ

  308. D-Rok Says:

    *SMOKE COMING OUT OF JL’s EARS RIGHT NOW* Who to pick? LOLz

  309. SteveK Says:

    Come on Tampa! Would love to see a trade back right here and stack some talent. If we have to pick, then give me a trench dude.

  310. Beeej Says:

    Somebody has to want to trade UP

  311. Todd Bowls Says:

    Trade down puhleeze

  312. Sam Brutus Says:

    Will Johnson please

  313. Daniel Z Says:

    I don’t think they’ll be able to find another team to trade back with given what’s transpired so far.

  314. Aqualung Says:

    Bucs on the clock – pick not in – negotiating a trade down?

  315. SteveK Says:

    Who are we taking? Go Bucs

  316. adam from ny Says:

    on the clock………………………………………!!!

  317. Simeon4HOF Says:

    The Bucs ALWAYS get the Commercial. Always lol

  318. rrsrq Says:

    Let’s Go

  319. SteveK Says:

    What are we doing?

  320. Shak Says:

  321. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    No trade back. Pick is in!

  322. BigBucsFan Says:

    It took them a couple minutes bucks pic is in right after this break

  323. D-Rok Says:

    Pick is in

  324. Mr. Editor Says:

    …and while we were in a commercial break, the Bucs selected….

  325. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    nobody will trade up for QB, at least not with us or denver. maybe with steelers

  326. Jugheadfla1 Says:

    Trade?

  327. Schmitz Says:

    Always goes to commercial when Bucs are on the clock. ALWAYS

  328. SteveK Says:

    Pick is in!?!? Oh baby! Here it comes

  329. KABucs Says:

    Our pick is in!!!!
    😲

  330. Simeon4HOF Says:

    We stay put … ..

  331. Shak Says:

    Meh

  332. rrsrq Says:

    JL wanted the house to trade back, I guess nobody was willing

  333. D-Rok Says:

    My thumb has tendonitis from refreshing this site

  334. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    Wow ok

  335. SteveK Says:

    Let’s see it Bucs! Emeka Ezbuka?

  336. adam from ny Says:

    on da clock………………….!!!

  337. Aqualung Says:

    Bucs draft Algo Rithm!

  338. adam from ny Says:

    clockers

  339. CalltheSaltTruck Says:

    Embarrassment of riches available for Bucs. Barron, Ezeiruaku, Campbell, I honestly wouldn’t be mad at any of them.

  340. rrsrq Says:

    I still want Campbell

  341. ChiBuc Says:

    GREEN

  342. ChiBuc Says:

    Or Campbell

  343. Joe in Michigan Says:

    The one Joe had it right, and had the Bucs pick right for a while now! Kudos!

  344. D-Rok Says:

    I feel like that nerd from Muppets who is always tweaking and freaking….

  345. Big Canoe Buc Daddy Says:

    This is taking too long . . .

  346. KABucs Says:

    Chris Godwin 2.0

  347. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    shocker!

  348. Shak Says:

    Lol

  349. DailyRich Says:

    Huh?

  350. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Dumb

  351. Fishhawkbuc Says:

    We OSU. ebuka. Bam

  352. Jugheadfla1 Says:

    Egbuka!

  353. D-Rok Says:

    WR

  354. Todd Bowls Says:

    Emeka Egbuka?

  355. KABucs Says:

    No one will be able to stop our passing game!!

  356. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Uh…

  357. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Can he cover?

  358. D-Rok Says:

    Egbuka

  359. NJbucs23 Says:

    Love it ! Stud WR!

  360. ChiBuc Says:

    Wow….guess Godwin ain’t as far along

  361. rrsrq Says:

    Whooooaaaaa

  362. ghost Says:

    booo

  363. BigBucsFan Says:

    Wow

  364. Simeon4HOF Says:

    We have the best WR core in the NFL

  365. Mr. Editor Says:

    Wow!!!!

  366. Beeej Says:

    Goodbye Palmer….mebbe Shep

  367. MadMax Says:

    That’ll work….we need WR

  368. DailyRich Says:

    Maybe Godwin is further away than we thought.

  369. Daniel Z Says:

    Oh well, I guess we’re going to try to score 50 points a game as our defense won’t be improved enough to stop anyone.

  370. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Once again we will have to outcome people to win

  371. Pa Privateer Says:

    I can accept it, but I do not like it at all. I wanted Defense

  372. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    Fair enough. He’s a Buc now, so I’m behind the pick 1000%.

    LFG!!!

  373. JustVisiting Says:

    Must figure they can fill the defensive spots in later rounds.

  374. Bucs 95 Says:

    What a joke 😂 id rather take johnson or sanders

  375. D-Rok Says:

    Not happy as a fan…fans be booing this pick.

  376. Usfbucs Says:

    Don’t hate the pick but would have rather had a defender

  377. Irishmist Says:

    I guess our defense doesn’t matter if we can score every possession.

  378. DailyRich Says:

    Maybe working a trade back into the late 1st seeing how many defensive players have fallen?

  379. Simeon4HOF Says:

    Over Golden Wow

  380. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Joe, congratulations. You freaking called it!

  381. MadMax Says:

    Great pick Jason! We needed WR!
    F the haters who hate this!

  382. Saskbucs Says:

    Wow. Man that just seems like a luxury. Really like this guy but come on… where’s Green or EZ or Barron!?

  383. Bucsfan1988 Says:

    WHAT AN ABSOLUTE UTTER FREAKEN MORONIC PIC!!!!!!!

  384. D-Rok Says:

    He’s a good player, but not what I call a “stud” or a freak. *HMMMM*

  385. rrsrq Says:

    WR should be set for years

  386. Big Canoe Buc Daddy Says:

    I did not see that coming. However, In Jason we trust!

  387. Winny Testaverde Says:

    A bit of a head/berry scratcher. Defense is too thin to win ( it all ). Don’t love it…

  388. Hunter's Crack Pipe Says:

    WTF. IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE.

    “Best GM in the NFL just left some wild defensive talent on the board. Even if Godwin isn’t ready to come back, we already have a good #2 WR on the roster.

    What a downer.

  389. Mr. Editor Says:

    Can’t wait to hear Gene Deckerhoff call out this guy’s name.

  390. BridleOaksBuc Says:

    Okay…Alright…Let’s go now!!

  391. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Yeah, I would have taken Golden there if I were to take a WR.

  392. BucsBeast Says:

    This called. Fell in our lap.

  393. IE Buc Says:

    We better score 30 points a game because we have a needy defense not being addressed. Edge, CB, MLB, but nope another WR.

  394. Bucsfan1988 Says:

    You need corner, safety, ILB, backup d-tackle, and you go with a freaken WR ???

    🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
    😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖
    🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

  395. ChiBuc Says:

    Still a lot of defensive meat on the bone, but…wow

  396. BucsBeast Says:

    Best player available

  397. adam from ny Says:

    enigma egbuka……………………..yee

  398. JustVisiting Says:

    Now I’m +really+ curious to see what they do in the later rounds…

  399. Shak Says:

    A Bucs is a Bucs and that’s all! It’s confusing but I trust Licht and hope it want spy

  400. BucEmUp Says:

    I dont get it

  401. BigBucsFan Says:

    We have the best wide receiver core and the deepest most talent tight end group with a stable of running backs and a quarterback full of moxie and very solid offensive line. We know which side of the ball the rest of the pics will be on let’s go defense

  402. Costa Rica John Says:

    The Bucs are gonna be fantasy football elite.
    Start getting ready for that fantasy draft.

  403. Shak Says:

    *wasn’t spytek

  404. Bucsfan1988 Says:

    The stupidest draft pic in YEARS from Licht when you need DEFENSIVE help!!!!!

    What in the freaken hell is going on here???

  405. Capt.Tim Says:

    Well, that was stupid.

    Good nite all

  406. D-Rok Says:

    OK so…tomorrow night – some beastly DL meat?

  407. StormyInFl Says:

    Surprising but it works. They must have a lot of faith in Reddick.

    CB in round 2, where the Bucs have had success filling that position.

  408. D-Rok Says:

    PS: I’m sorry, DR.

  409. rrsrq Says:

    I’m thinking we better outscore every team. But in JL pre interview he said he thought the LBs were deep and would be available 2nd day

  410. Jmarkbuc Says:

    On the bright side, still a lot of defense on the board

  411. ChiBuc Says:

    Hard to imagine E² not there tomorrow

  412. Couch Fan Says:

    I have zero trust in Super Todd developing any defensive player so I am good with the pick.

  413. Vanessa Anne Says:

    Scratching my head…

    Apparently Emeka has a lot of Chris Godwin traits. That’s good.

    But… uhm… we kind of need to bolster our defense.

  414. BayouBullet Says:

    Unbelievable

  415. Jmarkbuc Says:

    DR

    What D-Rok said..

  416. Bucsfan1988 Says:

    Stayed up to watch this embarrassing choice ???
    Jesus Licht!!!

  417. Curse of Gruden Says:

    I’m sure JL has his plan. But the D needs the bigger upgrade.

  418. rrsrq Says:

    There is only one ball but you need bodies going to the bal

  419. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Yeah, it’s bed time.

  420. D-Rok Says:

    I echo your sentiments, Vanessa. I’d say “WTF?” but I don’t cuss anymore, so WTH? Lol

  421. BayouBullet Says:

    When we couldn’t force a punt against Washington I said to myself… We need another wr

  422. D-Rok Says:

    OK g’nite all. It was fun while it lasted. *DREAMING OF BEASTLY DL MEAT OR A GOLIATH MLB 2MORO NITE*

    Nite my friends.

  423. TheBigSombreo Says:

    Edbuka is a freaking stud!

    Gots great hands.

    Need hands to catch Bakers errant throws lol.

    Evans is getting old… Godwin is always hurt.

  424. Winny Testaverde Says:

    An example of getting way too cute…still can’t get my mind around it yet.

  425. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Baker only throws 5 yards downfield most of the time. We didn’t need another receiver. Plenty of pass catchers, not enough passes.

  426. DailyRich Says:

    Steelers pass on Sanders.

  427. adam from ny Says:

    enigma egbuka

  428. DailyRich Says:

    Licht always talks about drafts not existing in a vacuum, could be the WR class next year is thin so why not grab a stud now so we’re not scrambling to replace Evans and/or Godwin.

  429. ATrain Says:

    Denver will send the Bucs a Christmas Card this year

    Stupid pick

  430. Hearty Dikerson Says:

    If we’re going to draft a Godwin clone because Godwin might not be ready, why did we just give him $66M? I get Egbuka is a good dude, but is he any more than a solid #2 WR?

    Seems like we hit yet another safe single or double. Licht continues to play things safe without taking a risk on a home run. Sensing another 9-8 season.

  431. Usfbucs Says:

    Guy on espn is melting down over Sanders

  432. unbelievable Says:

    Our WR is set for a long time, assuming he’s not a bust

  433. Steven007 Says:

    I hear endless comparisons with this guy and Chris Godwin. But let’s remember, Godwin was a third round pick. Let’s hope that he’s better than Chris. Otherwise, not sure how you justify the first round selection.

  434. Usfbucs Says:

    That’s the only reason I don’t hate the pick we just built good depth

  435. unbelievable Says:

    @Steven – that’s my thought too.

    Love Godwin, but he’s not a true #1 so I expect this kid to be even better, eventually

  436. BridleOaksBuc Says:

    Yard Birds trade up…Go Bucs!

  437. BucsFan81 Says:

    Falcons loading up on defense.

  438. Mhystc Says:

    Falcons doing what we should have done, loading up on defense.

  439. Winny Testaverde Says:

    Falcones take 2 promising pass rushers; Bucs add a 3rd/4the receiver. So far not so good.

  440. BridleOaksBuc Says:

    Pearce vs Wirfs…I like our chances lol!

  441. Mhystc Says:

    Then again Atlanta wasted next years first.

  442. BridleOaksBuc Says:

    Bucs O-line>Falcons D-line

  443. TheBigSombreo Says:

    Sanders is not getting picked in round 1.

    Remember when Evans and Godwin got hurt in the same game? I do. Egbuka was a good pick. We can get quality defenders moving forward. I trust JL.

    Just got back from Ray Jay draft party. DISGUSTED!!! We need DEFENSE. better have plans to bring in talent on D.

  446. DailyRich Says:

    There goes Campbell.

  447. toopanca Says:

    Philly just moved up and took Jihaad Campbell.

    I think that Philly just wrapped up a repeat as Super Bowl Champs – the fit is perfect! That sucks!

    Jealous of the Falcons 1st round picks, to be honest.

  449. Jeffrey Becker Says:

    trying to make sure Grizzard succeeds?

  450. NYCBucs96 Says:

    I think we are getting confused a little bit. We are focused on Godwin as the main reason for drafting Egbuka. Right kid Egbuka > McMillan. He’s an upgrade over him if you ask me. So he can actually be WR3 if/when Godwin comes back to health. I don’t see McMillan as a real WR2 yet. So if everybody was healthy to today I can see Egbuka being WR3.
