Joe already brought word that the Bucs were enamored with the confidence if not ego of first round pick Vernon Hargreaves. [read more]

Joe is good with the Buccaneers’ pick of Gators cornerback Vernon Hargreaves at No. 11 overall, but only, only, if the Bucs now go out and bag a defensive end. [read more]

We are finally here, Bucs fans. Here is the draft!

Go ahead and bang away at your thoughts, whether the Bucs should trade up, if you are hacked off at who they picked, perhaps they should have traded down, or if the Bucs should trade back up into the first round later tonight? [read more]

The Mike Glennon Mob won’t get to free their beloved son yet. [read more]

Bucs love his Jameis-like ego.

In a roundabout way, the selection of cornerback Vernon Hargreaves at No. 11 was fostered last April by the pick of America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston. [read more]

Tall enough.

Already, a lot of Bucs fans are whining that new cornerback Vernon Hargreaves, listed at 5-11, is too short to play in the NFL. [read more]

The Bucs’ head coach may have just tipped Tampa Bay’s draft hand. [read more]

Rough couple of months for Alterraun Verner and Johnthan Banks, culminating in tonight’s drafting of Gators cornerback Vernon Hargreaves in the first round.

Johnthan Banks and Alterraun Verner had one tough offseason.

It’s been all downhill since their relief when the Bucs fired Coach My Scheme. [read more]

Newest Buccaneer.

Joe wasn’t sold on new Bucs draft pick Vernon Hargreaves. But Joe is taking solace in the fact that Hall of Fame general manager Bill Polian called Hargreaves the cleanest corner in the draft. [read more]

Smart move by Bucs GM Jason Licht. Guys are dropping and why not take advantage? [read more]

“Let’s get it on!”

You are fired up for the draft. Joe is fired up for the draft. Guess who else is fired up for the draft? [read more]

We’re now less than hours from Roger Goodell walking to the podium and calling the Buccaneers’ next great hope.

Joe’s got the Jason Licht/Team Glazer photo here because, in fact, Team Glazer is part of the shotcalling team when it comes to a first-round pick, especially an early first-round pick.

Licht was seen on the One Buc Palace fields the past two days with Team Glazer for very long stretches.

Have your final say in the comments. Call your first-round pick. State your prayers. … And make plans to attend Joe’s draft party.

Feeling weird.

“I may be gone but my legacy at One Buc lives.”

The legacy of Raheem Morris is interesting.

Currently, he is the last Bucs head coach to not only guide the team to a winning record, but that same 2010 club had double-digit wins and was screwed out of a playoff berth by a terrible call taking a touchdown off the board in a three-point loss to Detroit. [read more]

Following November ACL surgery, Louis Murphy did what ever smart NFL player should do.

Will Bucs No. 3 receiver Louis Murphy really be ready for training camp as Dirk Koetter suggested?

Joe got an interesting take from Murphy on the subject this afternoon at One Buc Palace. [read more]

Geeked for tonight.

Joe had a hard time sleeping last night. Lots of things to get geeked about. There is a Bucs (underwear) practice this morning and then there is the draft. It’s draft day! Merry Draft Day! [read more]

Wouldn’t it be a stunning kick in the groin if a team traded up with the Browns to leapfrog Tampa Bay and draft defensive end manbeasts DeForest Buckner or Joey Bosa?

Oh, the howls will be heard at Joe’s big draft party tonight. [read more]
