Draft Night Rounds 2 & 3, Open Thread
April 25th, 2025
The fun continues. Night 2 of the NFL Draft is here.
Will the Bucs go defense? Is a cornerback next? Talent is on the way to Tampa Bay.
Comment below all night. Be nice. Stick to the draft. Go Bucs!
April 25th, 2025 at 6:54 pm
Hoping they find a way to get 2 players that can step in day 1 and contribute on the defensive side of the ball.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:02 pm
Defense!!
April 25th, 2025 at 7:03 pm
If they could get three packs tonight. Draft a corner, linebacker and defensive lineman that would cheer up a few of the frowning faces around here..
April 25th, 2025 at 7:05 pm
Anyone on defense, cab,lb,dt,edge. no kickers Jason. lol.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:06 pm
I pray đ GOD bless us with 2 defenses starters for opening day, this weekend.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:07 pm
I’ve lost faith they know what they’re doing this draft. That first round pick still has me shook. It made zero sense to me. Unless he’s one of the best WRs in the NFL, why not go for a position of much much much bigger need other than the 1 position the team is deepest as has so much money invested into.. I just don’t get it.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:09 pm
Use Rd. 4-5-7 picks to trade up or back in to the 2nd and grab Swesinger and an Edge or CB.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:10 pm
We need a run on offense so we can snag a top defensive player! Letâs go Bucs!!!!
April 25th, 2025 at 7:10 pm
Well hell!
April 25th, 2025 at 7:11 pm
That sucked… He was my pick
April 25th, 2025 at 7:11 pm
good thought though lol
April 25th, 2025 at 7:11 pm
Next we pick s sanders. Coach defense fine we need to score more points.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:12 pm
Hoping for Emmanwori in the 2nd, Cobee in the 3rd, Nohl in the 4th, Jeffrey Bassa in the 5th, and Thor in the 7th (since we donât have a 6th). If we did, Iâd take JJ Pegues there. Wish we had more picks for Zah Frazier, Nick Martin, and Fadil Diggs, but hey, you can only work with so many picks, lol.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:12 pm
And I read they were looking to trade back
April 25th, 2025 at 7:12 pm
There goes my ideal pick for round 2
April 25th, 2025 at 7:13 pm
nfl.com even had Donovan Ezeiruaku sliding to us
April 25th, 2025 at 7:15 pm
Saw a couple of mocks having us get Schwesinger, thought he might last longer.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:17 pm
how cool is warren moon for un-retiring his number
April 25th, 2025 at 7:17 pm
Bucs need to trade up.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:18 pm
Let’s draft a tight end or reliever best on board
April 25th, 2025 at 7:18 pm
That said, a smart pivot would be to **trade down**, target **Lathan Ransom**, and **pick up a 6th-rounder or two** in the process. Ransom brings flexibility and toughness to the secondary, making him a worthy alternative if Emmanwori is off the board or the team wants to play the value game.
By trading down, the extra picks could be used to go after guys like:
– **JJ Pegues** â interior DL depth with athleticism
– **Nick Martin** â a leader and tone-setter at linebacker
– **Zah Frazier or Fadil Diggs** â high-upside pieces for depth and future development
Itâs a numbers game at this point, and the more picks, the better the chances of landing multiple contributors. The board has talent â just need the ammo to go get it.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:19 pm
And a willing partner to make the trade.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:20 pm
Saw that coming as soon as the trade up happened hence my last post.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:20 pm
One by one they are coming off the boardđ„ș
April 25th, 2025 at 7:20 pm
cud have traded 53 and 84 to titans for that pick apparently lol
April 25th, 2025 at 7:23 pm
Seattle took the Safety I wanted.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:23 pm
athletic calls him ‘best pick of the draft’ so far
April 25th, 2025 at 7:27 pm
They always draft someone I’ve barely heard of
April 25th, 2025 at 7:28 pm
Rumor is the Bucs will draft another wide receiver with 53rd pick. As many here have said: â you can never have enough WRâsâ Those guys are Dumb and Dumber.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:30 pm
Gipper so funny! concerned we may not get aa linebacker now ughhh
April 25th, 2025 at 7:30 pm
Didnât McCoy launch the full body hug movement with Roger The Dodger? A perfect pairâŠ
Will round 2 be cuteness a la 1st round or a defensive difference maker?
April 25th, 2025 at 7:30 pm
@Gibber
LMAO
Who drafts a wr3 in the 1st round… The bucs
April 25th, 2025 at 7:30 pm
The Dolphins sent the Raiders picks Nos. 48 (second round), 98 (third round) and 135 (fourth round) to move up to No. 37.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
Yep, losing good players one by one. This ainât purty!
April 25th, 2025 at 7:35 pm
keep taking RBs guys
April 25th, 2025 at 7:37 pm
Target Punter, Kicker and Long Snapper. And then focus on special teams after that.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:39 pm
I got good sources who say the Bucs are taking Trey Amos in round 2…
April 25th, 2025 at 7:39 pm
Two of the most underrated safeties in the 2025 NFL Draft are Oklahomaâs Billy Bowman Jr. and Ohio Stateâs Lathan Ransom. Bowman is a versatile, explosive defensive back who can play safety or corner and led the nation in interception return yards in 2023, including six INTs and three pick-sixes. His ball skills and range are elite, and while some scouts question his size and tackling, his playmaking upside is undeniableâmaking him a strong Day Two candidate. On the other hand, Ransom is a physical, smart, and consistent presence on the back end, known for his tackling and leadership at Ohio State. He may not wow in testing, but his reliability, football IQ, and scheme versatility make him a great value pick in the mid-to-late rounds. Both safeties bring unique, high-impact traits that could translate well in the NFLâyet theyâre still flying under the radar in this yearâs draft class.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:39 pm
What happens if Father Time comes calling for LVD this season?
April 25th, 2025 at 7:40 pm
what if watts is there at 53 josh. some scouts had him as top safety
April 25th, 2025 at 7:41 pm
I would love the real meltdown and the trolls if Jason traded up and drafted Shadeur.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:41 pm
Why was the Bucs pick on the homepage before it even happened? It’s now take down, but it was there! CB.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:42 pm
Rod Munch Says:
April 25th, 2025 at 7:39 pm
I got good sources who say the Bucs are taking Trey Amos in round 2âŠ
Me too! It was on the homepage!
April 25th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
Yes, I saw the same thing. I guess it was premature publication.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
The Joes are in on the rigged NFL!! They know the pick before it even happens!
April 25th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
was wondering which QB saints would take
April 25th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
The Saints just took a QB born in the 90s? Wow…
April 25th, 2025 at 7:46 pm
Wow Shough with Sanders there?
April 25th, 2025 at 7:46 pm
lots of stories/capsules in sitches like this are prewritten so they can be posted/published immediately
April 25th, 2025 at 7:47 pm
teams trying to prevent Deion from hanging out all the time?

Yeah, I’m sure they do a bunch of different ones – doubt the Joes have been entrusted with the script for the draft.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:48 pm
as if he was LaVar Ball lmao
April 25th, 2025 at 7:48 pm
No, see, we heard someone behind us wants Amos, so we posted that article to make them think we’re going to take him and force a trade!
April 25th, 2025 at 7:49 pm
sneaky daily!
April 25th, 2025 at 7:49 pm
Lots of guys left that fill our needs
April 25th, 2025 at 7:51 pm
Man, Sanders, Iâm guessing youâre realizing it ainât good to be an a-hole.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:52 pm
Two Saints QB were born on the same day one year apart.
-Tyler Shough (25) was born Sept. 28, 1999
-Spencer Rattler (26) was born Sept. 28, 2000
Shough is eight days older than Trevor Lawrence, who is entering his fifth season in the NFL.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:52 pm
Let’s hope Shedeur and some more RBs and TEs go before the Bucs pick – that would continue to push defensive guys down the board. There’s some names still out there I’d have been happy to get in the 1st round.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:54 pm
Alvin Scissors Harper Says:
April 25th, 2025 at 7:51 pm
Man, Sanders, Iâm guessing youâre realizing it ainât good to be an a-hole.

I think the issue is more about him being a Teddy Bridgewater clone. Never got the 1st round hype on him, he just doesn’t have the arm or physical talent. Still, he might be a good QB if he was put into the right system.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:55 pm
Sanders is a wild drop. Went from being potentially #1 overall to dropping like a rock.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:55 pm
How does joebucsfan know the pic way before it happens… Wtf
April 25th, 2025 at 7:55 pm
Watching Revel and Donovan Ez potentially fall to us đ
April 25th, 2025 at 7:56 pm
Sanders was sacked 94 times over his last two college seasons.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:56 pm
Just checked out a Saints board. About 90% of them hate the pick. Good, feel the hate.
Best comment was someone saying his ceiling is Derrick Carr.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:57 pm
Remember, Jason Licht said he has “comfort” in his edge rushing depth. smh
April 25th, 2025 at 7:57 pm
New Orleans now has made itself the front runner in the “March to the Arch” sweepstakes in the 2026 NFL Draft

April 25th, 2025 at 7:59 pm
And we take…Sanders.
April 25th, 2025 at 7:59 pm
I would love to see Licht pull off a trade if we have multiple guys fall to us and get back into the second round
April 25th, 2025 at 8:01 pm
There is about 10 guys that us JBF prognosticators were saying for the Bucs to draft at 19 that have not gone.
Four Major ones seem to include:
1. Mike Green
2. Donovan Ezeiruaka
3. Will Johnson
4. Shavon Revel
April 25th, 2025 at 8:01 pm
yeah durango there’s a youtube of all of his sacks is like 19 mins long
April 25th, 2025 at 8:03 pm
The Michigan CB is still available
April 25th, 2025 at 8:03 pm
i hope donovan is there for us to draft,
but wouldnât mind burch either tbhâŠ.

HAHAHAHA! Love it! I might have to grab some Saints podcasts this weekend, I love fans having meltdowns and trying to justify awful picks.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:04 pm
cud possibly get burch in third?
April 25th, 2025 at 8:04 pm
But, I am scared they will all be gone.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:05 pm
doh damn boys
April 25th, 2025 at 8:05 pm
damn⊠dallas!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:05 pm
F⊠there goes one
April 25th, 2025 at 8:05 pm
Oh no munch is going to be upset
April 25th, 2025 at 8:05 pm
Well, that’s one big name gone. Ezeiruaka off the board.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:06 pm
Ezeiruaju just went. Dallas tends to take players I like. Damn. Shavon Revel? Az Thomas? I don’t think we’d touch Mike Green… right?
April 25th, 2025 at 8:07 pm
Well, there goes one of the defenders I was hoping we’d get, to the Cowboys.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:07 pm
I was just about to say there wasn’t a lot of edge need in front of us, I guess I jinxed us by thinkng it.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:07 pm
How is Will Johnson on the board? Did he suffer a leg amputation we donât know about?
April 25th, 2025 at 8:07 pm
Do we draft a qb?
Donât laugh
April 25th, 2025 at 8:08 pm
GREEN
April 25th, 2025 at 8:08 pm
alvin, he has turf toe
April 25th, 2025 at 8:08 pm
Boy I really jinxed it.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:08 pm
i think johnson shouldn’t have skipped combine drills, or the rumor is true – Michigan CB Will Johnson Jr. has a knee issue that has concerned some NFL teams and helps explain why he still has not been selected
April 25th, 2025 at 8:09 pm
Oh that’s right, we need girlscout green character
April 25th, 2025 at 8:09 pm
I will go on record and say Milroe goes to the Seahawks and not Sanders at 52.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:09 pm
Cowboys suck. Big Don from BC.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:10 pm
There goes our DE from Boston to Dallas. Should
have moved up. Passing up Defensive
Studs.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:10 pm
all they guys we wanted for the defense are gone already
April 25th, 2025 at 8:10 pm
Where are all the people saying there are plenty defensive players left for round 3 and 3? Cause everyone is picking them today and imo that pick yesterday was a complete waste⊠if our defense constantly not getting off the field we canât score points
April 25th, 2025 at 8:10 pm
I understand there are injury concerns, but this is a special player. How about Green? Insane heâs still there, though he isnât a choir boy.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:12 pm
All the good defensive players are coming off the board quickly. We still
got a long way to go till we pick unless Licht moves up due to his silly 1st round pick.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:12 pm
Kicker is next
April 25th, 2025 at 8:13 pm
Go get Mike Green or Xavier Watts
April 25th, 2025 at 8:13 pm
nobody wants any part of deion sanders and his bullsheet drama.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:14 pm
Itâs a conspiracy and the other teams are snatching the defenders we had pegged!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:15 pm
Bucs didnât need Ezeraku, they have Braswell. Heâs gonna shock us.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:15 pm
Will Johnson a cardinal bye bye smb
April 25th, 2025 at 8:15 pm
rams peeps hating that pick of fergie wanted amos or even revel despite injury concern
April 25th, 2025 at 8:16 pm
The bucs need to move on will Johnson
April 25th, 2025 at 8:16 pm
Have more TE’s gone in this draft than Defensive Ends.
Maybe the GM’s disagree with the Joe’s about getting the edge rushers?
April 25th, 2025 at 8:17 pm
W Johnson. Cards
April 25th, 2025 at 8:17 pm
Should have been out pick… What are we doing
April 25th, 2025 at 8:17 pm
What are the red flags on Mike Green?
Honestly, I’m thinking this is small school time for Jason Licht
April 25th, 2025 at 8:17 pm
Damn… they ar3 all getting picked…
April 25th, 2025 at 8:17 pm
Bucs take Sanders to build for future
Ahhaha
April 25th, 2025 at 8:17 pm
Way too much credit bestowed upon Licht.
We are passing up defensive players that we desperately need. We lost games last year because our sucky defense, not our offense
April 25th, 2025 at 8:19 pm
Litch panicking nowâŠevery top db,lb and de is off the board within the first 30 mins of the 2nd round⊠we are not having a good draft
April 25th, 2025 at 8:19 pm
Did I miss the rule where teams in front of us have to trade with us because we really want to?
April 25th, 2025 at 8:19 pm
raiders have soooo many picks now wtf lmao. so jealous
April 25th, 2025 at 8:20 pm
You all need to do your homework. JL ain’t touching Mike Green. Two prior sexual assault allegations, one in high school, another got him kicked out of Virginia. Reason he transferred to Marshall
April 25th, 2025 at 8:20 pm
Shavon Revel to our Bucs. If he’s there, we are gonna snag him
April 25th, 2025 at 8:21 pm
Watch, our next pick is going to like..”What”? Really?
Please let me be wrong.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:21 pm
darien porter
April 25th, 2025 at 8:22 pm
Right now, we suck! Who will we end up with? Hoping for Mike Green!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:22 pm
bucs will accidentally pick Tori Amos
April 25th, 2025 at 8:24 pm
Wow — all the draft prognosticators were so wrong this year across the board.

I hope you are not using any of the mocks or player rankings out there. They are usually wrong.
Jason Licht knows exactly what he is doing. We’re just not in on the plan.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:25 pm
If Licht doesnât take an Edge or Corner, he goes back to Bud Lite!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:25 pm
Grab Mike Green or Xavier Watts
April 25th, 2025 at 8:25 pm
Damn… Its going south quick
April 25th, 2025 at 8:25 pm
Bucs will trade back
Get Sanders in the 3 round
Then trade Trask for a top CB

Trey Amos
April 25th, 2025 at 8:26 pm
Knight off the board
April 25th, 2025 at 8:27 pm
Amos Green Revel Watts ⊠Alexander? Any of those will be solid picks imo. Would be nice to grab one of them that isnât Watts and get Winston Jr in the 3rd.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:27 pm
At least we get Trey Amos right Joe
April 25th, 2025 at 8:27 pm
Sorry but I believe in our GM knowing what heâs doing, time will tell. Go Bucs!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:27 pm
green, watts, revel, alexander, swinson, mukuba, porter still there
April 25th, 2025 at 8:28 pm
i still think jordan burch would be a solid pick
April 25th, 2025 at 8:28 pm
Well the way the draft has played out I could see us either taking OladeJo if we go edge or cornerback ( Revel Amos or if medically cleared Morrison)or safety either Winston or Watts.
Think Green isn’t a Buccaneer?
April 25th, 2025 at 8:29 pm
Ok, maybe a DT and I wonât call him Bud Lite.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:30 pm
Small school time!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:30 pm
Wr 5 in round 2
April 25th, 2025 at 8:30 pm
Nic Scourton always felt like a Bowles guy to me.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:31 pm
Wow heâs big
April 25th, 2025 at 8:31 pm
Panthers select Mike GreenâŠ
April 25th, 2025 at 8:31 pm
Panthers just traded up to 51 to snake us
April 25th, 2025 at 8:32 pm
At least we have options. Canât wait to see who we pick. Go Bucs!!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:32 pm
Mike Green.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:32 pm
They better not draft Oladjo over Green or Scourton or Swinson or Princely âŠ
April 25th, 2025 at 8:32 pm
The thing I like about Kicht is he doesn’t make splash picks…he makes solid picks.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:33 pm
Panthers gave up the most points in a single season in NFL history
April 25th, 2025 at 8:33 pm
Dang
April 25th, 2025 at 8:33 pm
Panthers trade up for Nic.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:33 pm
Scourton to the Panthers.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:33 pm
Panthers probably did poach us with Scourton or we have eyes for a CB⊠I guess CB is much more likely considering Licht and Bowles say we are fine at Edge and ILB!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:34 pm
Collins from TX.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:34 pm
Maybe Joe will end up being right?
April 25th, 2025 at 8:34 pm
Well I think OladeJo can play ILB and edge and while raw still very good and can develop into a stud.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:34 pm
GREEN!!!
Revel!
Amos!
It better be one of those 3!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:35 pm
Ben, Xavier, Sheval or Mike Green
April 25th, 2025 at 8:35 pm
Trey Amos.
Wish Joe would publish the rest of our picks- so I donât have to waste my Saturday.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:35 pm
They are on the clock.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:35 pm
Damn OladeJo gone
April 25th, 2025 at 8:36 pm
Trey Amos?
April 25th, 2025 at 8:36 pm
Saskbucs, we’re not fine at LB
April 25th, 2025 at 8:36 pm
amos with this pickâŠ
burch with the next
April 25th, 2025 at 8:36 pm
See 8:20 comment when the oompa loompas are done deliberately sitting on comments…you’ll have you’re Green answer, late, due to them.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:36 pm
Quick pick
April 25th, 2025 at 8:36 pm
Take Amos here and replace Dean pleaseâŠ
April 25th, 2025 at 8:36 pm
If it ainât Mike Green he must have an arrest warrant for child molestation or something.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:36 pm
And OF COURSE they go to commercial.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:37 pm
Heâll draft another WR we didnât need this year
April 25th, 2025 at 8:37 pm
Always a commercial before Bucs pick
April 25th, 2025 at 8:37 pm
B.Morrisson ND
April 25th, 2025 at 8:38 pm
every time!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:38 pm
Commercial break before the Bucs pick. Every time.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:38 pm
So annoying. The last few years every time the Buccaneers are about to pick they go to commercial so they donât spend minutes talking about them like they do every other team. And then last night, they spent the whole time talking about Sanders not being selected yet instead of what the Bucs might need.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:38 pm
Morrison to Bucs
April 25th, 2025 at 8:39 pm
Thanks Chris for update idiot.

CB! Excellent pick
April 25th, 2025 at 8:42 pm
Ballhawk. Great pick
April 25th, 2025 at 8:42 pm
Regardless of the type of coverage, Morrison has terrific foot quickness and body fluidity to mirror early and regain phase late, allowing him to make plays on the football without panic. He shows a natural feel in coverage and understands play indicators to look and lean or read and drive. Overall, the play strength and durability concerns will follow him to the next level, but Morrison is an athletic, technically-sound cover man who works hard to stay attached to routes and make plays on the ball. As long as he stays healthy, he is a scheme-versatile NFL starter.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:42 pm
Yup, if he is healthy, he is a great pick!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:42 pm
I guess they checked out his medical and he cleared because a healthy Morrison was probably a top three cornerback in this draft.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:42 pm
Weaknesses
Lacks ideal arm length and play strength as a press corner.
Struggles to consistently mirror against sudden release fakes.
Below-average hips and feet to retrace routes from trail positioning.
Carries a slight stall before triggering to match route breaks.
Accessible throwing windows frequently open around him.
Below-average tackler, allowing too many additional yards.
hate this pick
April 25th, 2025 at 8:42 pm
cool with this pickâŠ
now we NEED to address edge
April 25th, 2025 at 8:43 pm
Benjamin Morrison, Bucs get a CB, I guess his medicals must have been okay.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:43 pm
Great pick — Dude another character guy as well.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:43 pm
This works! đ
April 25th, 2025 at 8:43 pm
Good withe pick. Simeon looking good
April 25th, 2025 at 8:43 pm
I think Benjamin Morrison was Jason’s target all along.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:44 pm
Keep helping the D JL!
Nice pick.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:44 pm
Add him to our pile of half-injured cornerbacks
April 25th, 2025 at 8:44 pm
Good pick! Some mocks had him going in the first round.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:44 pm
A Fighting Irishman. I approve.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:44 pm
Morrison missed the Irishâs final 10 games after hip surgery
April 25th, 2025 at 8:44 pm
I trust Licht with WRs and DBs. Thatâs exactly what weâve got till now. Thatâs two immediate contributors to this team.
Dean, McCollum, Morrison, Winfield and Smith as our starters. Love that!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:44 pm
Hope he is good medically we already got Dean made of glass who canât stay on the field.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:44 pm
1st round talent at a discount. Love it.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:45 pm
So we are all wrong… the fans, the draft gurus and all Vegas pronosticators…And Licht is right? Hummm
April 25th, 2025 at 8:45 pm
Great pick! They have somewhat redeemed themselves. Now time to get an ilb and dt with the next two picks
April 25th, 2025 at 8:45 pm
another injury prone CB. dumb pick. At least it wasnât a kickerâŠ. lol.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:46 pm
Jeffrey Becker, just shut the f up. He was first team all American. As a FRESHMAN, and locked up Marvin Harrison Jr. literally every -single -player has a write up of weaknesses from scouts. Jesus Christ some people are never happy

Yawn
April 25th, 2025 at 8:46 pm
nextgenstats – Prospect Grade 6.20. Will eventually be average starter. would prefer more upside, but I always do. fingers crossed.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:46 pm
David, I played college ball. Meanwhile you sit there with your beer belly calling someone a idiot because I disagree with you, you think weâve been one of the best drafting teams we had some good picks sure but weâve damn sure had some bad bad ones and if it wasnât for the Brady years then what? You a winston fan?
Go get you a football for dummies book come back, talk to me and if you do good you can read the 2nd edition.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:46 pm
face – it’s not a knock on him so much as the other options available. if they know he’s healthy it’s fine
April 25th, 2025 at 8:46 pm
I like this pic after the WR debacle last nite, lol!!!
Morrison is 1st round talent but that injury last year pushed his draft status downâŠ.if heâs healed then we got some value here!!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:46 pm
LOL I love guys who look at the ânegativesâ in draft prospect reports like bleacher report or something like that. What is the point? If you read those you could convince yourself thereâs no one who should be drafted.
Morrison is a first round talent, ball hawk, plays the run, and is smart.
Outstanding!!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:46 pm
So an injured player is better than several that are healthy and highly touted on defense?
April 25th, 2025 at 8:46 pm
Another team captain voted on by the team.
They sure are building a culture. Love it.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:47 pm
Now we need to trade up in the 3rd & snag Darius Alexander, DT from Toledo!!!
April 25th, 2025 at 8:47 pm

Why did the Bucs get 10 ads and they didnât show the draft room
April 25th, 2025 at 8:50 pm
Chris, you did not play any college ball for any team worthwhile and were never a team captain like the guys the Bucs are drafting.
Ok, to have an opinion but guess what – some of the folks that are very athletic — can also tend to be the most limited intellectually.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:50 pm
The hip injury is the reason he fell to us. Licht turned in the pick very quickly, which means he was targeting his guy.
You can bet the Bucs did a lot of digging.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:50 pm
Hopefully, he’s healthy
April 25th, 2025 at 8:51 pm
Chris⊠Guess what dumb ass, I played college ball too and guess what that means⊠Not a damn thing. Some of the best coaches never played ball and some of the worst ones did.
You donât know what the hell youâre talking about. Go look at any analyst or ask any general manager throughout the NFL theyâll tell you the Bucs are one of the top five drafting teams. You want to point out a bad pick here and there, well newsflash twattard , 50% of the first round picks are going to bust out within 4 years so of course there are going to be some bad picks.
It is the amount you still have on your team and still in the NFL 5 years later and the Bucs have been absolutely outstanding.
So sit down and try to make an educated comment once in a while, if itâs too hard, just STF you and let your wife type

April 25th, 2025 at 8:56 pm
As long as the medicals check out, I like the pick. Comps to Marlon Humphrey, which if accurate, would be awesome.

Who is it Jeffrey
April 25th, 2025 at 8:57 pm
Hearty – what we really need is hardy nickerson

April 25th, 2025 at 8:57 pm
Greatest buccaneer of all time⊠I say Derrick Brooks followed by Mike Evans.
Then in any order- Sapp, Barber, Lynch, LVD, Selmon.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:58 pm
i’d say LeeRoy unless you wanna debate the Gruden/Dungy teams
April 25th, 2025 at 8:58 pm
@ Bayoubullet,
yeah probably some kid playing on his PC While his momâs getting tore down in the next room.
I like Licht but I donât think we are having a good draft, in my âexperienceâ and imo I donât think drafting a WR and then a db with hip injuries is doing good, hip injuries never go away.
That WR is a reallly good WR but we couldâve waited till next year for that.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:59 pm
Canât argue with that
April 25th, 2025 at 8:59 pm
I would love to trade back in, and Grab Mike Green or Xavier Watts and trade dean for a day 3 pick.
April 25th, 2025 at 8:59 pm
I agree with david
April 25th, 2025 at 8:59 pm
brooks and ronde et all had so much talent around them and dungy. leeroy was such a standout at the time
April 25th, 2025 at 8:59 pm
Both of the first 2 picks are going to areas that have age and injury concerns so theyâre going to get their share of playing time while being the future. Now they need an ILB for the same reason.
April 25th, 2025 at 9:00 pm
My college was the military. bitches! lol
April 25th, 2025 at 9:00 pm
Who should the Bucs pick next
Everyone answer
April 25th, 2025 at 9:00 pm
CHECK THIS OUT…
If you search X for âBenjamin Morrisonâ youâll see multiple posts with video that Morrison held a private workout 5 days ago for about 20 NFL Scouts â I assume the Bucs were there.
He took it into his own hands to do a little workout a few days before the draft to show scouts he is healthy and that he can move just fine again.
Go search for it.
April 25th, 2025 at 9:01 pm
Again Morrison character guy team captain you look at his first two years he was absolutely unbelievable and was again having a good season cut short by injury.
He held a personal workout a few days ago to show potential teams that he is fully recovered from his hip injury. Clearly the Buccaneers did their homework and felt that he was not a medical risk. They literally got themselves a guy who had he not had that injury would have been a top 15 pick.
So had we picked him in the first round and Egbuka in the second round everybody would have been perfectly fine….
April 25th, 2025 at 9:01 pm
I think Bucs should get an edge but weâll see
April 25th, 2025 at 9:01 pm
thanks trask interesting
April 25th, 2025 at 9:01 pm
Anyone know why broncos keep trading picks
April 25th, 2025 at 9:02 pm
Jeffrey do you know why
April 25th, 2025 at 9:02 pm
Now we need to go either safety edge or detachle or linebacker in the third whichever is the best positional value at the time.
At safety we might have the Texas safety still there
At linebacker Chris Paul or Jeffrey Bassa
at Jack Campbell or the Arkansas guy.
April 25th, 2025 at 9:04 pm
Damn, can the NFL stop with all the death dedications? I’m trying to watch this for enjoyment, not to hear a bunch of sob stories. It’s not as bad as a few years – but who the hell enjoys this? I just want to hear about prospects talents, combine numbers and see highlights. Why is that so hard?
April 25th, 2025 at 9:04 pm
For Morrison, this is a heck of a stat… He allowed a 44.1 NFL passer rating for his career while playing 1,546 total snaps in 26 games.
April 25th, 2025 at 9:05 pm
lincoln i know yesterday on their pages they were talking about trading 1 for 3…. they must like (as i do) the third/fourth round possibilities. i think they got 130 by moving down only like 3 spots? i’d do that anytime
April 25th, 2025 at 9:05 pm
And 9 picks in 31 games iirc.
April 25th, 2025 at 9:06 pm
To be fair the people there talking about passed away so yea it can be boring but still
April 25th, 2025 at 9:10 pm
How do you have a guy who is 450lbs doing a promo about child hunger? This show has some really bad booking.
April 25th, 2025 at 9:10 pm
hope the ravens looked into the green allegations at Virginia. shannon sharpe’s in deep kaka right now, scary investment
April 25th, 2025 at 9:11 pm
The Bucs went wide receiver with Emeka Egbuka in the first round, which makes sense with how theyâve been building around Baker and keeping the offense solid. But I really think their next move in the second round is going to be defenseâprobably edge or linebacker. Guys like Donovan Ezeiruaku or Nic Scourton would fit well, especially since Tampaâs pass rush hasnât been super consistent. Theyâve shown interest in building up that side of the ball, and with the depth in this draft at edge, it feels like a smart place to go next.
April 25th, 2025 at 9:11 pm
I meant 3rd
April 25th, 2025 at 9:11 pm
of course the ravens draft green lol
April 25th, 2025 at 9:12 pm
Mike Green fell because of some alleged bad behavior, no idea if it’s legit or not, but going to the Ravens means he’s probably going to be awesome. Although him crying is embarrassing – that alone would take him off my draft board. I want someone who is p/o after sliding that far, not crying like a girl who gets a new bike for her 6th birthday.
April 25th, 2025 at 9:12 pm
I swear every year I am like ..damn these certain players always fall to the ravens. I almost always end up loving their picks every year.
April 25th, 2025 at 9:13 pm
RJ Harvey off the board – way higher than the draft rankings had him. I know watching his highlights, he looked so good, I had no idea why he was ranked so lowly and had like a 4th round grade. I was secretly hoping that he’d slide and slide and slide and the Bucs would take him in the 5th.
April 25th, 2025 at 9:13 pm
For the record, I did not play college ball, but I did play college BONG!
April 25th, 2025 at 9:13 pm
I wouldâve gambled on Green more than we gambled on Morrison
April 25th, 2025 at 9:13 pm
So Mike Green is not good enough for us but good enough for the Ravens…continually one of the best defenses in the NFL…hummm
April 25th, 2025 at 9:13 pm
MORE BENJAMIN MORRISON INFO…
I’ve been doing some digging on X for past posts about him…
There’s video of his teammate saying how he’s been a big mentor for him. Apparently Morrison is very religious (Christian). Looks like he was quite the leader for the Notre Dame team. Another very high character guy for the Bucs.
ALSO…
In the 2023 football season when Notre Dame played Ohio State, ND put Morrison on OSU’s best WR, Marvin Harrison, Jr. (who ended up the first WR taken last year, 4th overall pick) and Morrison COMPLETELY SHUT HIM DOWN.
Here are the stats from that matchup:
3 Targets
1 catch
2 PBUs
7 Yards
April 25th, 2025 at 9:14 pm
Damn Rod, that is quite the stat!
Let’s just hope he can stay healthy… or at least healthier than Dean
April 25th, 2025 at 9:14 pm

Sucks for fantasy football, since he’s not going to be a sleeper pick anymore. Going to the Broncos with their need at RB, Harvey is going to have a huge rookie year.

You guys having an issue with Morrison are dopes. The guy was absolutely a 1st round pick before he got hurt, and getting him in the 2nd half of the 2nd round is great value. Green, without the off the field drama, would be my pick – but you got to assume that Green slide from the middle of the 1st to the end of the 2nd for a reason, and those rumors are more than just rumors. Also that full body ugly face cry was ridiculous, I don’t trust any man that does that.
April 25th, 2025 at 9:19 pm
Still pumped Mike Evansâs got 1000

I don’t watch college football at all, just pay attention during the draft cycle since I love reading scouting reports and watching film – and I had never heard of Harvey, and was just looking at guys that were 4th or 5th round targets that maybe the Bucs end up with, and watching his tape, he looked so good, I could not believe he had such a low grade when combined with his workout numbers. Obviously I was right and the ‘experts’ were wrong since he ended up going in the 2nd.

April 25th, 2025 at 9:31 pm
We’ll see who is there in the 3rd round, but I’m likely not bothering with an edge rusher – they rarely workout at this point and your hit rate on corners, safeties and ILB’s is off the board in this range. I really like Winston, if he slid that far, he’d be my pick. Also if some corners continue to fall, I’d double up. At LB, I really like Jeffrey Bassa and perhaps he falls to the 4th – hard to project this far out.
April 25th, 2025 at 9:31 pm

I don’t get the hype on Skattebo – watching his highlights, he’s not big enough to be an NFL powerback and he looks slow. He does make people miss for some reason, I really don’t get it, but I saw him highly ranked on the mock drafts, above a bunch of backs that already went, and I really didn’t understand it. But as a 5th, sure, why not, he might be a decent short yardage back if he puts on about 20 pounds of muscle.
April 25th, 2025 at 9:58 pm
No need for trading White. I would use Skattebo more as a fullback.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:00 pm
interesting tim. i like tucker in that quasi-role tho can’t wait to see him get more carries
April 25th, 2025 at 10:02 pm
Jack Sawyer seems like another culture fit. Old school football player that would play multiple positions along the Bucs defensive line.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:04 pm
if revel is available, should double dip on cb
or go edge and draft burch
April 25th, 2025 at 10:05 pm
oof, damn boys
April 25th, 2025 at 10:05 pm
đ
April 25th, 2025 at 10:08 pm
Right on schedule, they’re going to commercial now so they can be ready to go to commercial when the Bucs are on the board in 7 picks.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:10 pm
damnit!
cards took him
April 25th, 2025 at 10:10 pm
poor aj
April 25th, 2025 at 10:11 pm
Get safety Xavier Watts, Kevin Winston Jr, or MLB Chris Paul Jr, Jeffery Bassa or Barrett Carter
April 25th, 2025 at 10:11 pm
HAHA…
Love hearing how the Texans & Rams both traded out of the first round once the Bucs snagged Egbuka.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:11 pm
should roll the dice on nohl if heâs available when we pick
can never have too many dbâs
April 25th, 2025 at 10:11 pm
Also edge pass rusher, Bradyn Swinson
April 25th, 2025 at 10:11 pm
nice pick texans
April 25th, 2025 at 10:16 pm
The reality is no one knows anything about the majority of the players from here on out. Thereâs a few that we all know from watching college ball but how they grade towards the pros at this point, who knows. Iâll trust the Buccaneers fantastic track record as of late.
The best I can do is look at what the Bucs need. ILB is the most glaringly obvious position that needs help because I find it hard to believe SirV and LVD will remain healthy all year. Unfortunately, I donât think thereâs a lot of good ILBâs left. Personally, I wanted Jihaad in the first, but with Godwin injury and Evans age, no problem with the wide receiver pick.
I would not be shocked if they go D or O line. There is always depth there, and you can never have too many of each.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:16 pm
Watts and Winston Jr are still both there so if we want one of them we can pick them otherwise Edge I see Jack Sawyer.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:17 pm
watch them take a backup center
April 25th, 2025 at 10:17 pm
Winston Jr ⊠Watts ⊠Swinson ⊠letâs get one
Grab the ILB Bassa or Carter or Paul Jr in round 4.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:18 pm
Jared Ivy
Xavier Watts
Cam Skattebo
Jack Sawyer
April 25th, 2025 at 10:18 pm
This is shaping up great. Morrison is an A++ pick
OMG if we are able to get Watts here in the 3rd… a couple picks to go. That would be an insane boost for our defensive backfield.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:18 pm
Jeffrey Becker Says:

I wouldn’t be against it at all, Licht knows his offensive lineman, so if he took someone, that guy is a future starter at worst.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:19 pm
Sawyer is a Buc.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:19 pm
Bowles said he wants ballhawks. There’s no safety in this draft that’s a better ballhawk than Xavier Watts. I said it.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:20 pm
Dang you stupid TITanS.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:20 pm
texans now have Xavier Hutchinson and Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, all from ISU haha
April 25th, 2025 at 10:20 pm
Watts please
April 25th, 2025 at 10:20 pm
Winston Jr. gone. Fine. Let’s get WATTS
April 25th, 2025 at 10:20 pm
Damn Winston Jr gone
April 25th, 2025 at 10:20 pm
BPA could be anybody at this point.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:21 pm
I want Watts go get him with Winfield
April 25th, 2025 at 10:21 pm
at least steelers don’t need a safety. probably lol
April 25th, 2025 at 10:21 pm
Please don’t pick Watts Pittsburgh
April 25th, 2025 at 10:22 pm
Tykee Smith is gonna play safety next season so why would we draft a safety this high? Slot corner / Edge / LB would be the better and more logical options.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:22 pm
Winston Jr to the titans, grab watts
April 25th, 2025 at 10:22 pm
Okay so if we want Watts we get them to pair up with Morrison Iwould be amazing
April 25th, 2025 at 10:22 pm
Steelers go with Caleb Johnson. Which means Watts is HERE for us now in the 3rd!
It would be HUGE!
April 25th, 2025 at 10:22 pm
munch – wud likely be jared wilson i guess at this point? want watts though
April 25th, 2025 at 10:23 pm
@Tim
If you draft what you keep taking in the slot which is where he was drafted to play.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:23 pm
Hope we take the ND Safety Watts to go with Benjamin ..
April 25th, 2025 at 10:23 pm
Wow, they didn’t go to commercial for our pick.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:23 pm
there’s your double dip
April 25th, 2025 at 10:23 pm
2 CBs. Yikes
April 25th, 2025 at 10:23 pm
Back to back CB! Dean is on notice!
April 25th, 2025 at 10:23 pm
Another CB ? Dean is gone.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:24 pm
Watts, Carter or Sawyer.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:24 pm
Dean is sweating now!
April 25th, 2025 at 10:24 pm
Jacob Parrish? ok, can’t be mad at that
April 25th, 2025 at 10:24 pm
What the f?
April 25th, 2025 at 10:24 pm
A 5’9 CB?
April 25th, 2025 at 10:24 pm
Jacob Parrish?? Damn! I really thought Watts would have been insane here
April 25th, 2025 at 10:24 pm
OK, doubled up at corner. I liked Parrish. I wonder if this means Tykee Smith is in fact moving to safety.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:24 pm
Why draft the tiny slot Corner when you have a ball Hawk safety available
April 25th, 2025 at 10:25 pm
Would have loved Watts, hes a ball hawk.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:25 pm
Time for commercial.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:25 pm
Of course they go to commercial for our pick
April 25th, 2025 at 10:25 pm
I am ok with a double dip at CB but 5’9″?
April 25th, 2025 at 10:26 pm
I really wanted Watts đ
April 25th, 2025 at 10:26 pm
Welp, Dean ain’t safe
April 25th, 2025 at 10:26 pm
I think you are correct Munch. Smith moving to safety like he played at Georgia.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:26 pm
Parrish ran a 4.35 I think they really like his athletic traits
April 25th, 2025 at 10:26 pm
Over Williams who KC quickly pounced on and Watts. Interesting. I liked the rundown on Parrish⊠must be another high character guy.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:27 pm
Nice pick. Dean now expendable?
April 25th, 2025 at 10:27 pm
A slot CB probably could have got him in the 4th round SMH. At least Dean is gone now.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:27 pm
Watts profile on espn says he is not a ballhawk
April 25th, 2025 at 10:28 pm
I like it.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:28 pm
he’s crazy athletic, but yeah is a bit weird. he has a higher prospect rating than morrison on nextgen, and lance zuerlein had him going in the second, so there’s that
April 25th, 2025 at 10:28 pm
Every draft you guys bash Licht and call for players who then make zilch impact the next season. Trust your FO.
Parrish is one of the fastest DBs in this years draft with a lot of upside. If Bowles with his knowledge think heâs our guy than he probably will be.
They already said Tykee is moving to safety. So your DBs will be this:
Safeties: Winfield and Smith
Cornerbacks: Dean, McCollum, Morrison
Slot: Parrish
April 25th, 2025 at 10:28 pm
5â10â 190-200
4.35 speed and real quick.
Excellent. Dean better start strong and stay healthy
April 25th, 2025 at 10:29 pm
Tykee Smith is definitely our Starting Safety
April 25th, 2025 at 10:29 pm
I think they moving Tykee Smoth to the other safety position with WinfieldâŠ.
This kid Parrish is gonna be the slot corner for us!!
April 25th, 2025 at 10:30 pm

Why would drafting a position to give you depth, that you need badly, mean you’re going to cut your starter? That would be literally retarded.
You dopes who hate Dean have no idea what you’re watching, or the history of rookie corners.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:31 pm
Woodman
One INT this year, 4 last year, not bad.
Apparently, heâs fantastic in press coverage because of his speed so doesnât get a lot of balls thrown his way
Plus another one who will get his nose dirty in the run.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:31 pm
BUH BYE, JAMEL!
April 25th, 2025 at 10:32 pm
maybe jason likes how these two corners are so different from each other. big guy vs speed guy, etc
April 25th, 2025 at 10:32 pm
With S set Bucs needed another slot CB to go with Izien.
Nice pick
April 25th, 2025 at 10:32 pm
Munch
Exactly. Dean is the starter. He is just on notice to step up from last year and stay healthy.
CB and wide receiver room both suddenly are outstanding with needed depth
April 25th, 2025 at 10:33 pm
Whitehead is still available right, no one signed him? The Bucs should bring him back on a vet minimum deal and hope he can get healthy. Hard to believe he is completely washed up at his age – at worst he’d give you a veteran backup. Not saying to give any big deal, but last year he was never really healthy, so I’d give him another shot so long as his attitude is good.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:33 pm
weren’t bucs like 1 and 4 without dean or something? or winless even?
April 25th, 2025 at 10:33 pm

DavidBigBucsFan99 Says:
April 27th, 2024 at 11:31 pm
Looking at Irvingâs and Davisâ highlights it seems to me Irving was picked to protect White starting spot because Davis would sue enough take it from him. Bucky is cute and shifty got some speed but Davis is definitely better and more than shifty enough. Looks like coaches protecting their decision to make White something heâs not, a starting caliber rb. The fact the coach who worked with Davis wasnât allowed to draft him says a lot about Licht and Blowles.
BucsFan Says:
April 27th, 2024 at 1:56 pm
Actually this is Lichtsâ 1st really questionable pick. Bucky is slow, would rather run through a wall than around it, and is not ready for NFL pass protection duty. Not seeing this one at all.
Simeon4HOF Says:
April 27th, 2024 at 2:10 pm

unbelievable Says:
April 27th, 2024 at 3:29 pm
Can he hold up in the NFL though?
Those highlights look great⊠against scrubs who canât tackle and wonât be playing in the NFL. Whatâs he going to be able to do against a real defense?
Oneilbuc Says:
April 27th, 2024 at 3:48 pm
This was a bad pick heâs short and slow!! Licht just donât know how to pick runningbacks.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:33 pm
Now that I am settled down from my hoping for certain players, I really don’t have a problem with 2 corners at all. In fact every time I played with a mock draft simulator, I always picked at least 2 corners.
So if our defensive backs can hold coverage for another 1-2 seconds then our front 7 will look way better and start getting to the QB.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:34 pm
Next pick completely depends on availability. I would imagine they want ILB but a lineman on either side of the ball would probably be best available.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:34 pm
Who goes to the slot ? Morrison ? or Zyon ? unless dean gets traded. which I doubt. Licht spoke highly of dean at the combine. Or was it Bowles..
April 25th, 2025 at 10:35 pm
I guess this means that in round four and round five we’re going to attack the front seven of the defense..
I would love us to get Thor at defensive tackle and one of Chris Paul or Jeffrey Bassa at linebacker
April 25th, 2025 at 10:35 pm
Hoping Chris Paul Jr, Jeffrey Basa or Barrett Carter are there in the 4th.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:36 pm
2 CBs in row! Awesome!
April 25th, 2025 at 10:36 pm
You also have to look at Smith going to safety, Winfield and SirV healthy⊠With Reddick added and a healthy Braswell and Yaya stepping up – definitely has the makings of something great.
Personally, I want to see what Kancey can do healthy all year. The dude has been a wrecking ball when heâs in there healthy.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:37 pm
Feels like they reached a bit⊠again.
Guess we will see.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:42 pm
I notice a lot of people calling for Carter or Basa. I would not mind that at all, both remind me of LVD. Undersized and fast and great in coverage, which is desperately needed in the middle of the field.
Decent against run because of speed.
Donât know if either will be there though.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:43 pm
LB 4th unless Sawyer is available, in which case LB 5th. A safety or another LB/CB could go 5th or 7th. I really want Thor, and I genuinely believe heâs the steal of the draft. However, this class is ridiculous. The idea that itâs ‘not deep’ to me is misleadingâDeone Walker is still available, along with Farmer. There are so many 6th-year seniors in this draft who may not possess the ideal height, weight, or speed, but are ready to step in and start on day one due to the impact of COVID. This draft class is truly exceptional. In my opinion but, only time will tell…
April 25th, 2025 at 10:44 pm
I would be ok with
LB Chris Paul Jr, Jeffrey Bassa or Jack Kiser.
Late late round Edge: Sai’vion Jones, Elijah Williams and Johnny Walker
DT: CJ West, Tonka Hemingway, or Thor Griffin
April 25th, 2025 at 10:47 pm
This is why I am hating on Dean. He has knee issues and played a total of 12 games last season. Yes he could get replaced since we drafted 2 CB. They are paying Dean 12.5 million for the 2025 season. Donât think they are going to dish out that kind of money if he canât stay on the field.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:48 pm
Bucsfan
I get it. If youâre not healthy whatâs the point? When he is healthy, he is definitely an above average cornerback.
I donât think he goes anywhere because of the depth, but I do think his days are numbered
April 25th, 2025 at 10:51 pm
WOW
Deion Sanders must be going crazy right about now.
I feel bad for the kid. Had a bunch of people telling him heâs a first rounder when that wasnât reality. If you watch him, he has a strong arm and can make most throws⊠That was about it. Decision-making wasnât great, he would scramble and extend plays, but he held onto the ball too long and too often. I am surprised he has slipped this far though.
I think some of that has to do with his dad, itâs just added drama a lot of teams donât want to deal with.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:52 pm
Why at this point would you cut Dean?
Now, if they could trade him for like a 4th, maybe even a high 5th, sure, I could listen to that, but people who just think Dean is the issue, and not the scheme, you’re nuts.
The one point you can make for trading Dean, if you were able to do so, is that any rookie can stand flat footed like Bowles wants in his awful super soft garbage zone defense.
But just cutting Dean is literally stupid and makes no sense.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:54 pm
8 mil deadcap hit to cut him. It’s cheaper to keep her.
April 25th, 2025 at 10:57 pm
Wow, now Dillon Gabriel just went before Sanders. Deion is hitting the bottle.

————
I did not see that, I saw a Teddy Bridgewater clone, if anything I think he doesn’t really have an NFL deep ball. Now, that doesn’t mean you can’t throw deep, but to throw deep in the NFL you have to not only air the ball out, but throw with velocity.
BUT, I will say in the Bucs offense, which is a quick pass offense, you really don’t need a huge arm. After Luke got hurt last year, and Sucke was blocking about as well as a traffic cone put on the field, Coen changed up the gameplan before that Eagles game and went to a quick strike offense, and that’s when everything really took off for Tampa. In a scheme like that, I think Sanders might do well – except for Rob Johnson vibes. If you remember Rob Johnson, that awful QB just held and held the ball and took to long to do anything, and Sanders took a ton of sacks instead of getting the ball away. Not sure if it’s a processing issue, or coaching, but that’s got to scare teams, a lot.
If he’s still there in the 4th, I wouldn’t mind the Bucs snagging him as long as it’s known to everyone he’s strictly a 3rd team backup.
April 25th, 2025 at 11:02 pm
Dang, Watts going to the Falcons, they are loading up on defense to stop the Bucs.
Hopefully they bust on all of them.
April 25th, 2025 at 11:02 pm

April 25th, 2025 at 11:06 pm
Going to take more than a team full of rookies to stop this offense. Good luck ATL. Not.

Yeah, a bunch of rookies all playing at the same time generally leads to disaster, particularly early in the season. Doesn’t at all mean I think they’re bad picks – I don’t – but it’s unlikely to help them much this upcoming season. Hopefully the Bucs play the Falcons twice, early in the year – and with that said, the NFL will probably give us matchups vs them in weeks 14 and 17.
April 25th, 2025 at 11:18 pm
Take a look at the 2019 Bucs draft…
Round 1, Pick 5: LB Devin White, LSU.
Round 2, Pick 39: CB Sean Murphy-Bunting, Central Michigan.
Round 3, Pick 94: CB Jamel Dean, Auburn.
Round 3, Pick 99: DB Mike Edwards, Kentucky.
Round 4, Pick 107: DE Anthony Nelson, Iowa.
The Bucs defense, in the first 10 games of the 2019 season, relying on those guys, was literally on a historically bad pace as they learned how to play in the NFL.
However, it turned out to be a great draft.
Hopefully the Falcons don’t do that, and they bust on all their picks, finish in the bottom 5 of the league and everyone can point at laugh at them when they’re having to ship off their first rounder to LA. That would be the best possible outcome for everyone, including Falcons fans, who should just learn to accept that they’re failures and will never win anything.
April 25th, 2025 at 11:27 pm
Candidates for round 4 to 7
Ty Robinson – DT
Jack Sawyer – DE
Barrett Carter – LB
Cody Simon – LB
Joshua Farmer – DT
Smael Mondon Jr – LB
Will Howard – QB
Malachi Moore – SAF
April 25th, 2025 at 11:58 pm
@Geno
Yep. I didn’t know much about Bucky Irving, thought we needed a bigger back at the time. He was the one pick last year I was questionable about.
Glad he proved me wrong.
Wow dude. You must have a lot of time on your hands lol. Like a lot lol
April 26th, 2025 at 12:05 am
If we are going to take an edge in this draft, Jack Sawyer fits the needs that we still have with Gholston not re-signed, also his fire and he’s another “Character guy” that we know Licht and Bowles have been all about.
For LB, my favorite option still available heading into Rd 4 is Danny Stuttsman.
I’m gonna get flamed for this… But I honestly would love for us to find a way to pick Cam Skatteboo. Him with Bucky and White would give us an insane toolbox in the backfield.
April 26th, 2025 at 12:24 am
I don’t mean to BRAG, but yeah, I went to community college
April 26th, 2025 at 1:52 am
@Jeffrey Becker-
Yes when the Bucs lost Dean, Evans, and Godwin, they lost that game plus their next 3 games straight, leading up to the bye week. Following the bye, both Evans and Dean came back and we won 4 or 5 of our next 6 games…
April 26th, 2025 at 3:14 am
So, we could go …
Sanders in the 4th to battle Trask,
An ILB DT in Rd 5
And Shilo in the 7th.
With Sanders the Coach in waiting once Todd Retires after we win the SB with Baker.
Sure alotta fans who hate the Deion family would love this lol
