Notre Dame S Xavier Watts.

Sometimes, the PFF tribe will actually demonstrate they may know what they are doing. (more…)

Notetaker.

Tristan Wirfs is arguably the best tackle in the game. Last season, he became the very first player in NFL history to be named All-Pro at both right and left tackle in separate seasons. (more…)

Money.

Teams knew he was getting the ball. And still defenses couldn’t stop Mike Evans. (more…)

Would Todd Bowles be happy with a defense-only draft?

Joe can just hear Bucs fans chanting Thursday night, six days and counting before the start of the 2025 draft. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht

Now this should draw a few smiles at One Buc Palace, and perhaps encourage Team Glazer to drop a contract extension in the lap of Buccaneer Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht. (more…)

“Glazer, I deal. You watch. That’s how this works.”

Remember three years ago when the Bucs made a draft-day trade of a future pick to snag their cornerback of the future? (more…)

Bucs great DE Simeon Rice.

The second-greatest edge rusher in Bucs history will once again represent his old team. (more…)

“Tom, watch and learn.”

Joe likes how true NFL insider Peter Schrager approaches his draft chatter/projections because it’s all about what he’s hearing from GMs and front office types.

And now that Schrager has just moved to ESPN from NFL Network, he’s seems to have opened up more than he was with “The Man.” (more…)

Georgia safety Malaki Starks.

Joe’s willing to at least listen to Cris Collinsworth talk about potential Bucs’ draft picks because Collinsworth has sat in broadcast production meetings with Todd Bowles and other Tampa Bay power players. (more…)

Yeah, the draft is a week away, but Joe is still pacing the halls of One Joe Place thinking about the Bucs acquiring Jalen Ramsey. The Dolphins have been looking to deal the seven-time Pro Bowler, per NFL Network.

It would be a Super Bowl move and Joe’s in a Super Bowl frame of mind. (more…)

Target middle of defense.

A BSPNer has quality, well-thought-out takes on how the Bucs should attack the draft, which begins a week from tonight — a week! (more…)

PRESENTED BY

Georgia ILB/edge rusher Jalon Walker.

Since both Jason Pierre-Paul and Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett finally got caught from behind by Father Time, the Bucs’ edge rush has been a downright embarrassment to sober fans. (more…)

Chats up OL analyst.

On paper or a screen, it looks so, so, so simple for guys to flip to a different side of the ball on the offensive line. (more…)

Chuckles at some draft clowns.

Joe smells the PFF tribe. (more…)

“Joel, is it true you replaced Spytek with a robot?”

Joe wishes no ill will on the endless human mock draft robots out there.

You know the ones; the guys currently publishing their 7th or 9th iteration of Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft. (more…)

Sometimes the obvious is overlooked. (more…)
