Draft Rounds 4 Through 7, Open Thread
April 25th, 2026
Former fourth-round pick.
Comment all draft long, cheering and booing your favorite picks and prognostications.
As of now the Bucs have one pick in Round 4, two picks in Round 5 and sixth- and seventh-round selections.
April 25th, 2026 at 12:44 pm
CBs Scott and Muhammad still on board. Also Kyle Louis
April 25th, 2026 at 12:44 pm
Let’s go Bucs!
April 25th, 2026 at 12:46 pm
I’m thinking corner here…
Muhammad would be solid..
April 25th, 2026 at 12:46 pm
CB Rivers still there?
April 25th, 2026 at 12:47 pm
Prospect Snapshot
Justin Joly (TE, NC State) — 21 | 6’3″, 241 | 4.75
Harold Perkins Jr. (LB, LSU) — 21 | 6’0⅝”, 220 | 4.38*
Malik Muhammad (CB, Texas) — 21 | 6’0¼”, 182 | 4.42
Keith Abney II (CB, Arizona State) — 21 | 5’10”, 187 | ~4.4*
Jalon Kilgore (S, South Carolina) — 21 | 6’1″, 210 | 4.40
April 25th, 2026 at 12:48 pm
YAY!!!!
April 25th, 2026 at 12:49 pm
sup LUV!!!!
April 25th, 2026 at 12:49 pm
This corner Scott is the highest ranked player left in the draft.
This 6’8″ monster DT Harris looks good too
April 25th, 2026 at 12:50 pm
Kyle Louis please. Best cover Lber in the draft. The Bucs biggest issue was getting off the field on 3rd down. They need a 3rd down LBer that can cover.
April 25th, 2026 at 12:50 pm
Lee the 3rd and Devon Marshall as cb?
April 25th, 2026 at 12:50 pm
RB Mike Washington with the 4th
April 25th, 2026 at 12:51 pm
MadMax
Sup Bredren
April 25th, 2026 at 12:51 pm
Obviously don’t care about the defense-take RB Washington
April 25th, 2026 at 12:51 pm
Liking this guard Parker from Duke too
April 25th, 2026 at 12:51 pm
Kyle Louis or Keonte Scott please
April 25th, 2026 at 12:52 pm
Fanofdabucs
Agree. By all accounts, Trotter covers about as well as KJ Britt.
April 25th, 2026 at 12:53 pm
Have been pondering Louis–is there such a think as a nickel LB?
April 25th, 2026 at 12:53 pm
We’re on the clock!
April 25th, 2026 at 12:55 pm
Keionte Scott, make it happen Jason
April 25th, 2026 at 12:55 pm
Hoping Louis is the pick
April 25th, 2026 at 12:56 pm
Keionte Scott is a problem in the slot — 5 sacks, 13 tackles for loss, and two pick-sixes in 2025 tells you the guy can flat out play. The catch is he can only play one spot: nickel or box safety, because he gets exposed every time he lines up outside. And at 24 turning 25 in August, what you see is what you get — no growth left, just a very good player locked into a very specific role.
April 25th, 2026 at 12:56 pm
Woooooooo!!!!!
April 25th, 2026 at 12:56 pm
Scott! I can live with this
April 25th, 2026 at 12:56 pm
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!
April 25th, 2026 at 12:57 pm
YES KEONTE SCOTT!!!!
April 25th, 2026 at 12:57 pm
Love the pick!!!
April 25th, 2026 at 12:57 pm
Joe called it! Keionte Scott
April 25th, 2026 at 12:57 pm
I can start drinking now
April 25th, 2026 at 12:58 pm
Lt. Dan
Some of called it weeks ago Bredren
April 25th, 2026 at 12:58 pm
Thanks for the dead rat ad Joe. Matches our draft. Lol
April 25th, 2026 at 1:00 pm
Scott’s a good pick, wouldn’t be surprised if we end up with another CB and OL Depth in the 5th round.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:00 pm
Im just glad we got a good CB….much needed. I wonder why Will the 3rd is dropping….
April 25th, 2026 at 1:01 pm
Crownover is still there (O line)
April 25th, 2026 at 1:01 pm
Old man Scott. Frees up Parrish to move outside. Meh.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:01 pm
Okay, now it’s Landon Robinson & Jack Strand in the fif lol
April 25th, 2026 at 1:05 pm
@LUVMYBUCS…I’ll buy the first round mi amigo.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:07 pm
Yeah, im def about Landon….hope he lasts.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:09 pm
Good pick thank goodness
April 25th, 2026 at 1:09 pm
good gosh, got to make a beer run, or walk i mean….be right back.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:11 pm
Mahalo, Lt. Dan
April 25th, 2026 at 1:11 pm
Yay another miami guy. Keep em coming. This is adding up to a great draft. Stay heavy on defense in the 5th
April 25th, 2026 at 1:12 pm
“Jalon Kilgore (S, South Carolina) — 21 | 6’1″, 210 | 4.40“
2nd Gen Beamer Ball product, Í like him just not to sure if we’d be on the market for a safety.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:12 pm
MadMax
Haha
April 25th, 2026 at 1:14 pm
Get Kyle Louis now, great coverage linebacker, can play safety also. Fix the defense. Also grab Washington RB.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:18 pm
Lets now go get the best available NT, LB, OG
April 25th, 2026 at 1:20 pm
And a safety
April 25th, 2026 at 1:22 pm
Wasting away again in Bowzoville.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:24 pm
I’ll have to check out Kyle Louis, but in the meantime, give some love to Red Murdoch of Buffalo. Check out his tackles over the last two years. This is a linebacker we need!
April 25th, 2026 at 1:27 pm
I think Perkins would be a steal if e can get him
April 25th, 2026 at 1:33 pm
I have just recalled that Mario Cristobal ranted about “playing violent” during the college playoff last year. Licht stole that and took two of his players, too. I am happy.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:35 pm
Should of had Rod Munch pick the players.. Couldn’t have done worse.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:36 pm
Trigg in the 5th and another LB
April 25th, 2026 at 1:39 pm
Not that it matters, but shouldn’t the Bucs have gotten some compensatory picks from losing Mikey, Dean, Hall, Chad and Izien? Or did the NFL look at that and refuse to grant the picks due to sheer ineptitude?
April 25th, 2026 at 1:39 pm
really have to address O line here. TE is out there, and there is at least 1 fast late round prospect or UDFA
April 25th, 2026 at 1:40 pm
I never understood why we never get comp picks. I was wondering the same thing.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:43 pm
DT, RB, ILB, TE, G?
I’m thinking DT.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:43 pm
3.28.Evans – The calculation for compensatory picks is based off the previous year. So this years losses will factor into next year’s determination. Don’t know that we will get any though because of Anzalone and Robinson.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:44 pm
Thank you, Jason.
April 25th, 2026 at 1:58 pm
Rd 5 G, TE
April 25th, 2026 at 1:58 pm
I hope the Bucs get a Deebo Samuel Sr type player Adam Randall
April 25th, 2026 at 2:01 pm
G D-it… the Dolphins get the ILB stack I wanted so badly with J-Rod and Kyle Louis. Damn.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:05 pm
That monster Harris is still there
April 25th, 2026 at 2:05 pm
Doesn’t look like Rivers will fall to us. Maybe Tecario Davis.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:07 pm
Justin Joly (TE, NC State) — 21 | 6’3″, 241 | 4.75 He’s a must excellent TE hands very good and adjusts to the ball and fighter for position…
April 25th, 2026 at 2:08 pm
Louis actually looked like he could play.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:10 pm
Landon Robinson please….
April 25th, 2026 at 2:11 pm
Louis would have been a fantastic pick for the Bucs, a coverage LB, could literally play safety (so you have depth), can cover TEs and RBs, and is a good tackler. The Bucs history with undersized coverage LBs is outstanding, and he’d have been the guy who I’d hope could step in for David (not saying he is David, but he has the skill set and maybe he develops into something).
I hate missing out on Louis – I’d have taken him over Trotter 100 out of 100 times.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:13 pm
NO drafted 2 great WR to go with Olave and Vele. Sure glad we drafted guys who can’t cover anyone.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:13 pm
TE Michael Trigg is still out there. Not sure if the Joe’s just like him and there’s nothing more to it, or if they had insider knowledge, but I’d certainly be OK with the pick.
Also getting any offensive lineman – if Licht takes on, you know they’re going to be good.
Got two 5th rounders, so some big action coming.

Scott at corner was a great pick in the 4th.
In any case, having a LB cover a WR isn’t something we ever should be seeing.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:14 pm
Louis’ only problem is he’s small–like 6’1″ 220. He can’t be in the box. That was even an issue in college
April 25th, 2026 at 2:16 pm
The guard–Brian Parker (Duke) is still there—top rated OG
April 25th, 2026 at 2:31 pm
5th round excitement in a couple picks. Steady yourself.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:34 pm
153, and 160 from Green Bay?
April 25th, 2026 at 2:35 pm
Nope 155 for us
April 25th, 2026 at 2:35 pm
Raiders kicking butt with their draft. Spytek clearly the brains behind Licht.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:36 pm
Man two picks before the Bucs, they take two guys who I thought the Bucs might take. The Kentucky center would have been a good all-purpose offensive line backup. And Joly at TE I liked too.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:39 pm
Fantastic draft so far… A++
April 25th, 2026 at 2:40 pm
DT Capehart
April 25th, 2026 at 2:40 pm
We took the DT from Clemson
April 25th, 2026 at 2:40 pm
DT Demonte Capeheart….i have no clue about him….
April 25th, 2026 at 2:40 pm
Someone on here called it.. Great pick
April 25th, 2026 at 2:41 pm
Capehart – very good pick.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:42 pm
Alright, o line next please….CROWNOVER
April 25th, 2026 at 2:43 pm
Justin Joly (TE, NC State) Damn went to Denver remember his name folks…. at least he didn’t go to the Falcons, Carolina or the Saints!
April 25th, 2026 at 2:43 pm
I was hoping for a DT, and DeMonte Capehart looks like a violent monster!
April 25th, 2026 at 2:43 pm
DT. Must go G. Pick will be telling regarding TE
April 25th, 2026 at 2:44 pm
Dang… I was hoping Abney might still fall to us yet.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:44 pm
Trigg still there….he must really be an ahole in the locker room
April 25th, 2026 at 2:44 pm
160 coming, maybe a CB or ILB?
April 25th, 2026 at 2:45 pm
Is it possible all the TE’s we liked are gone?
April 25th, 2026 at 2:46 pm
JimBobBuc, we picking again this round at 120 too!!
Moved down in 3rd round and picked this one up
April 25th, 2026 at 2:46 pm
Safety or Guard I hope
April 25th, 2026 at 2:46 pm
Capehart has a 9.96 RAS score.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:46 pm
Couple of 25 year olds with the last 2. Keep that going and take a flyer on edge Nadame Tucker?
April 25th, 2026 at 2:47 pm
Tucker would be great next why not
April 25th, 2026 at 2:47 pm
Scratch that JimBobBuc, it is 160, lol
April 25th, 2026 at 2:48 pm
Or S Kilgore or another Miami guy in G Anez Cooper… wouldn’t mind any of those.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:48 pm
Billy Schrauth OG is still there, I’d like that pick. But Licht loves former college tackles.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:49 pm
WOW, we did pick Billy Schrauth – awesome!
April 25th, 2026 at 2:49 pm
Yes! Guard
April 25th, 2026 at 2:49 pm
CBs still there
April 25th, 2026 at 2:50 pm
Hitting all the needs with this draft
April 25th, 2026 at 2:50 pm
There’s our reserve G. Not going to be 2 TE sets
April 25th, 2026 at 2:51 pm
Plays both sides…nice.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:51 pm
Awesome! I wanted O line….now i need to go watch some film on him…didnt know about him….i dont get paid like scouts, its just a hobby for me lol.

Already got one, plus signed two free agents
April 25th, 2026 at 2:53 pm
Whoever Licht takes on the offensive line is going to be good player. Klien was late 6th round, that’s getting into lottery territory so I don’t count that. But 5th round you can still find guys who are valuable. Billy is going to be a good pick, also continues the run of guys who could have been on a Dukes of Hazzard episode… Luke, Cody and Billy.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:53 pm
A Notre Dame guard, Schrauth, good pedigree at Notre Dame.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:53 pm
Simeon4HOF Says:
“There’s our reserve G. Not going to be 2 TE sets”
He may be good enough to start.
So far as 2 TE sets, don’t forget post draft free agency.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:55 pm
Really like the Capehart and Shrauth picks.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:55 pm
I’m actually loving this draft. Finally the defense is getting attention.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:55 pm
As our last, 7th, maybe Trigg? i mean if dropping in the draft this far doesnt adjust his attitude then take him out back behind the locker room and knock some sense in him….there is talent there!
April 25th, 2026 at 2:56 pm
Billy will be our reserve guard, certainly his rookie season – which is great. The Bucs HAD to get some depth. If you watched last season, with all the injuries on the line, and thought the Bucs should take a 2nd TE (who will still take time to develop) over a top guard who probably could start as a rookie if he had to… give me a break. Also doubting Licht on offensive lineman is beyond insane.
Great pick.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:56 pm
Licht loves himself some injured players coming out of Notre Dame of late. Hopefully it works out and his foot is fully healed.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:57 pm
sorry, i forgot we had two picks in the 5th, still have 6th….i’d still take a gamble on Trigg there.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:57 pm
MadMax Says:
April 25th, 2026 at 2:55 pm

We still have a 6th and 7th.
If Trigg makes it to the 6th, that would be an excellent pickup, and an amazing value. But 30 picks to go, seems unlikely, but we shall see.
April 25th, 2026 at 2:59 pm
Trade up to get Triggs.
April 25th, 2026 at 3:00 pm
watching keynote scotts live press conference right now. this guy is my new favorite draft pick. watch his highlights he’s gonna be a starter VERY soon
April 25th, 2026 at 3:01 pm
sorry- keionte not keynote
April 25th, 2026 at 3:01 pm
Obviously none of us commenters know what goes on in the draft room at 1 Buc but I like the strategy and it all seems to be falling into place well.
April 25th, 2026 at 3:02 pm
Yeah thanks Rod, im too many yellow pepsis in….plus hungover from last night lol.
April 25th, 2026 at 3:03 pm
Capehart we drafted Capeheartt!!!
Another versatile player that can line up all over the interior DL
I don’t wanna hear any Licht slander for 36hrs
Mans put the Chef coat on
April 25th, 2026 at 3:05 pm
There’s actually a decent number of TE’s I’d be OK with.
Trigg obviously.
Also Jack Endries, John Michael Gyllenborg, Joe Royer.
We’ll see if any of them make it back to us, if Licht goes that route.
If they want to get another offensive lineman, I’d love that.
I like, Isaiah World, Diego Pounds, Anez Cooper, Pat Coogan.

😉
April 25th, 2026 at 3:10 pm
Some other guys I still like that are out there…
DL Tyreak Sapp
LB Aiden Fisher
LB Eric Gentry (7th rounder lottery pick, a 6′ 7″ LB who is fast)
S VJ Payne (awesome name)
CB TJ Hall
April 25th, 2026 at 3:10 pm
Penelope Wheated and Miller Lites
GO BUCS
April 25th, 2026 at 3:11 pm
This is a master class on needs being filled with football players (dawgs). Just need another LB, and a Safety and thus could be a Jason Licht defining draft
April 25th, 2026 at 3:12 pm
What a great draft so far! Go Bucs!
April 25th, 2026 at 3:13 pm
I’d still like CB Devon Marshall….and LB Jack Kelly
April 25th, 2026 at 3:18 pm
Get Michael Triggs in the 6th and Tyreak Sapp in the 7th
April 25th, 2026 at 3:19 pm
profootballnetwork their mock sim is on the money and updated already….thats who i use.
April 25th, 2026 at 3:22 pm
Exactly. Very happy about this pick. Was just saying it seems clear Bucs didnt priority another TE in this draft which is fine. We are stocked for 3 WR sets anyway. Like that we focused on G and WR before anything else in Offense, like TE or RB
April 25th, 2026 at 3:23 pm
Keep loading up on D. Would love another backer with one of these last 2 picks.
April 25th, 2026 at 3:25 pm
Love our 5th round picks. Only concern I have on Defense rn is will our ILBs be good enough in coverage and how long will it take for either Morrison or McCollum to step up. Parrish looks to be moving to Outside w Scott at NB
April 25th, 2026 at 3:27 pm
Didn’t want another subpar TE. We have capable backups in Culp and kinda Durham. Kieft to block
April 25th, 2026 at 3:28 pm
Was addressing those who were like O Zac wants to use 2 TEs or we should’ve taken Sadiq
April 25th, 2026 at 3:39 pm
Im glad we didnt get Sadiq…good luck to him though.
April 25th, 2026 at 3:41 pm
Jack Pyburn, LB, LSU and former Gator, is still on the board and would be a great pick in either the sixth or seventh round. He was a third round projection until injuring his foot and missing the combine and pro day workouts.
April 25th, 2026 at 3:56 pm
Next up maybe a linebacker from Miami.
Special teams now.
April 25th, 2026 at 3:56 pm
While I am not deeply informed about the talents of players beyond the first and second round, I love the Bucs picks. Matched needs with players with reputations of high motor, no quit.
April 25th, 2026 at 4:02 pm
Taylen Green still out there… I’d love that pick in the 6th round (or better in the 7th). While you try to teach him to throw, you could still use him around the goal line, he’s be a huge weapon. It’s a pure lottery ticket pick – but the elite traits are very rare to get in a guy going this late, it’s worth a shot.
April 25th, 2026 at 4:04 pm
We just traded up with LV in the 6th, there must be someone Licht really wants still on the board.

——–
Ko can block, he’s a lock because of that.
Durham isn’t a good player, not a good blocker, way too slow to be used in the passing game (as a #2 to be clear, as a #3 he’s OK). Culp has barely done anything, fans are way higher on him than the team is, and he seems unlikely to be on the final roster.
Getting one of these tall fast TE’s in the draft is worth a late pick.
April 25th, 2026 at 4:06 pm
Moved up! Another LB??
Lawson
Perkins
Barton
April 25th, 2026 at 4:07 pm
Maybe that Alabama LB
April 25th, 2026 at 4:07 pm
Well Green just went to the Browns…
Green + Brown doesn’t ever give good results.
