Vea also made his first appearance in front of the Tampa Bay pen and mic club for his introductory press conference. You can watch the full video below courtesy of Buccaneers.com.

And both of those sights are ugly. [read more]

Is another fourth-round linebacker gem lurking?

“Violent.”

Bucs fans, you got your offensive lineman.

Lift a glass in celebration.

The Bucs stepped back into the Division-II ranks to draft Alexa Cappa from Humbolt State.

And Mike Mayock is hollering in the background how violent he is.

Joe has to confess he knows nothing of Cappa other than he has a worse mullet than Riley Bullough.

At 6-4, 347 pounds Vita Vea is a big man and hopefully will be a massive and mean force on the Bucs’ defensive line for years to come.

But he wasn’t playing nasty with Annie Sabo of WFLA-TV last night in Dallas. Vea joined the local sports reporter for an extended chat. Enjoy!

Three Bucs picks in Round 2 and, oh man, will there be options for maneuvering.

“Now you see the plan, Glazer. You like that?”

Joe wrote yesterday that now was the time for general manager Jason Licht to attack the Buccaneers’ deepest needs after securing half-man, half-beast Vita Vea in Round 1 after trading down with the Bills. [read more]

For all the Bucs fans who were clamoring for the team to draft a corner for the Bucs defensive coaches to ruin, might as well get a guy who has a rap sheet..

The Bucs selected M.J, Stewart of North Carolina. He is also projected as a safety. Joe hope the Bucs have more success than the last corner they drafted from the state of North Carolina.

Dealing. Bucs now have two fourth-round picks.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have traded the 56th overall pick to the New England Patriots in exchange for the 63rd overall pick (still second round) and the 117th overall pick (fourth round) in the 2018 NFL Draft.
