Happy Bucs GM Jason Licht.

So, how did the news of the Bucs landing a receiver at No. 19 go over in the Baker Mayfield abode tonight? (more…)

New Bucs rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka.

Joe could easily see if the Bucs drafted a typical diva receiver and the guy started speaking like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin better be prepared to lose targets now that he is joining the Bucs. (more…)

The Buccaneers guard their culture like Joe guards Hooters tater tots when Ira Kaufman is within 10 feet.

Getting the right kind of guy is a massive priority at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Great news coming from Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht tonight. (more…)

Don’t fear the edge rush.

UPDATED: The Bucs’ edge rush was horrible last year. So much so they brought back Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett out of mothballs. It was to no avail. (more…)

Flash poll posted at 10:35 p.m. Poll closed at 11:59 p.m.

Jamel Dean

Starting cornerback Jamel Dean’s job security just improved a whole hell of a lot. (more…)

Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka.

Joe couldn’t believe his ears last month. (more…)

A Tampa Bay Buccaneers photo.

Whoa! (more…)

Welcome to Tampa Bay!

UPDATED: Joe has been banging the drum for this guy for months. And here he comes! (more…)

GM Jason Licht.

So NFL insider Peter Schrager just dropped an interesting nugget on The Pat McAfee Show draft show after the Raiders picked Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

There’s an inkling of news already.

It seems, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, among the four teams looking to trade back are the Bucs. So it seems Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht started his night and has finished walking his dog as he does each draft day for good luck and peace of mind.

Joe is just fine with trading back. That means more defensive pieces to add.

So fireworks may begin early. Stay on JoeBucsFan.com all night long. Comment here with any Bucs or NFL thoughts.

Let’s have fun tonight. Joel Buchsbaum would!

Texas CB Jahdae Barron.

A guy who — from what Joe has seen and read — seems to have a lot of thoughtful insight, suggested a team looking for a corner in the first round of the draft tonight would be wise to go with this guy. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht has behind-the-scenes considerations.

Fans and Joe have blubbered about the Bucs’ draft for weeks. But nobody is playing with a remotely full deck.

So much is known only to those inside the walls of One Buc Palace. There’s too much mystery to make a bet-your-life-on-it prediction in tonight’s first round. (more…)

“Bruce, we set the board last week and we’re sticking to it. I’ve just been playing Red Dead Redemption in my office.”

No, this post has nothing to do with former Bucs rock star general manager Mark Dominik. (more…)

“Jason, if you really are targeting Matthew Golden, you’re playing chess and everyone else is playing checkers.”

A man forever in Bucs lore is very much a low key savvy NFL talent evaluator. (more…)

Intrigue.

Now this throwaway line in a mock draft certainly caught Joe’s attention. (more…)

Ole Miss DT Walter Nolen.

Joe remembers this like it was yesterday. (more…)

Bucs are in good hands.

When it comes to the Bucs and this weekend’s draft, which begins tonight, Adam Schefter may have just as easily quoted Nick Saban. (more…)

It seems when Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht said at the NFL Scouting Combine that second-year edge rusher Chris Braswell will “shock” people this season, he wasn’t widely believed. (more…)
