The Bucs seem to find players from the PAC-12. And maybe leaning on that history, the Bucs began the third day of the 2022 draft by selecting Washington tight end Cade Otton.

Here is what Joe wrote about Otton this morning in a piece about players the Bucs may target:

Cade Otton, TE, Washington: Big guy (6-5, 247) who was a four-year starter. Averaged 14.3 yards per catch as a junior. Last year a combination of a bum foot, missing two games due to COVID protocols and having godawful quarterbacks stunted his numbers.

Former Bucs QB Shaun King talks to Joe about new Tampa Bay running back Rachaad White.

Perhaps Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht listens to Shaun King’s national show? (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht

The Bucs pick first in Round 4 to open today’s final day of the 2022 NFL Draft. So who might be the Bucs be looking at? Joe has ideas. (more…)

Former defensive back and NFL scout Bucky Brooks of NFL Network thinks the Bucs got a very cool toy for Bucs coach Todd Bowles. (more…)

Working hard or…

The Bucs are knee-deep in building the 2022 roster, and of course the Bucs have folks working in Las Vegas for the draft. (more…)

Anyone has ever driven from Milwaukee to a game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay pretty much has an idea of the background of new Bucs guard Luke Goedeke. (more…)

Bucs rookie defensive lineman Logan Hall

Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht made it clear tonight that beastly Logan Hall, Tampa Bay’s 7:10 p.m. pick to open the second round, was one of five players Licht was targeting Thursday night in Round 1. (more…)

Status.

It sure feels like a guy critical to the success of the Bucs defense the past three years, and who was extremely helpful with young players, is done with his Bucs days. (more…)

Bucs RB Rachaad White.

How much was Herm Edwards involved? (more…)

UPDATED 11:05 p.m. – More competition has arrived at running back. (more…)

Cornerback depth was an issue last season, and Joe is sure that Carlton Davis, Jamel Dean and Sean Murphy-Bunting wouldn’t say that they played their best ball in 2021. (more…)

The Buccaneers’ new guard is really high on himself and talks about it comfortably, and almost in a humble way. (more…)

Joe mentioned this on the “Ira Kaufman Podcast” and wrote about it a couple of times. (more…)

Our beloved Buccaneers got aggressive late in Round 2 tonight, trading up three spots to the No. 57 overall pick to select Central Michigan guard/tackle Luke Goedeke. (more…)

Number already given to rookie?

It’s not looking good for Bucs stud pass rusher and outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul returning. (more…)

Bucs DE/DT Will Gholston.

If you talk to Bucs honchos, they will tell you that Will Gholston is the prototype defensive end for Todd Bowles’ 3-4 defense.

And guess who has a similar body type? (more…)

Flash poll posted at 8:28 p.m. Poll closed at 11:24 p.m.

Usage of Logan Hall.

So when new Bucs defensive lineman Logan Hall spoke via zoom to the local pen and mic club, the pride of Houston said he thinks he’s a strong fit for what Bucs coach Todd Bowles likes to do. (more…)

Bucs DT Logan Hall.

The first impression new Bucs defensive tackle Logan Hall gave to the local pen and mic club in a zoom conference call shortly after his selection is that he is a chill guy. Off the field. (more…)

Not gone yet.

So Joe thought the fact the Bucs drafted a defensive tackle meant one thing. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

So let the speculation begin. (more…)
