Jadarian Price Brings Versatility
February 11th, 2026
Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price.
Joe already stated sleep would not be lost if the Bucs somehow had Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love fall to them at No. 15.
Joe thinks there are question marks at running back. Rachaad White is gone. Bucky Irving, who knows what happened to him? At least, the Bucs will need a back to catch and run like White did.
So would Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price be a good haul on the second day of the draft? Joe thinks so.
Joe doesn’t know how one college team could have two running backs so damn good but Notre Dame did. Price is sort of like White in that he’s not a one-trick pony. He can catch or run for first downs.
What are the Bucs’ thoughts on Bucky after he had such a disappointing season? And last year, Bucky simply was not good in the red zone, which is a little disturbing.
Price has no such issues. His vision is excellent, his lateral movement is as good as anyone’s and he can catch and make dudes miss.
(And before anyone chimes in, Joe doesn’t give two s(p)its where a guy went to college. Joe only wants whomever the Bucs draft to become a Pro Bowl player and helps the Bucs win Super Bowls.)
If ND RB Jadarian Price falls to the second round, he’s a no brainer for any team in need of an RB IMO pic.twitter.com/9XuKLAhYTp

No thanks. Waaaaaaay too many holes on defense.

So does Mike Washington Jr.
Joe, you gotta start looking beyond the 1st round, there’s so much more talent and RBs who aren’t running on an achilles that was rebuilt 3 years ago.

We need a third RB that’s for sure. But we also need about 6-7 new starters on defense so Licht will have to figure that out.

He looks fast as hell and physical

Never a fan of drafting a Rb in the first round unless they are Mccaffery/Henry kind of player.

His vision is crazy looks like a home run hitter
February 11th, 2026 at 9:34 am
First three rounds need to be defense.
Free Agency: ILB, Edge, backup G
Draft:
Edge
ILB
DT interior pass rusher

That’s what draft boards are for. I don’t have any idea who I like just yet. A solid RB is only helpful if you can block for him.

Defense. Defense Defense. Nothing but when it comes to what this team needs draft and otherwise.

joe the kid we want is jonah coleman. trust me

Second day, sure. But like…we better have signed some very nasty FAs for the front seven.
February 11th, 2026 at 10:12 am
I wouldn’t draft an edge this year on days 1 or 2. Production is needed asap, sign a DE1 and draft DT’s and ILB’s, maybe a CB. If a TE or RB is there on Day 2, grab one.

We can attribute the offensive line being the problem for the running and passing woes. There was no continuity due to serious injuries for the entire season. When the Bucs won Super Bowl 55 the offensive line remained healthy and kept Brady upright.
The question is how to minimize the 2025 injuries. Will lightning strike twice . Hopefully not. The other lingering question is what can Bowles do about his defense. Hopefully these new defensive can make a difference.
That’s a lot of ifs. 2026 is a make or break year.
February 11th, 2026 at 10:28 am
Absolutely not. If we draft a RB anywhere before maybe round 5 I’ll be extraordinarily disappointed.

================================
Jeremiyah Love will be better than both McCaffery and Henry. He is a can’t miss Gayle Sayers/Barry Sanders type back. If by some miracle he is availabe at 15, he has to be taken. Keep in mind that I have been pounding the table for an all defense draft. For Jeremiyah Love ,I would enthusiastically make an exception.
