Heeding dad’s advice.
After the Bucs drafted wide receiver Kenny Bell, Joe noted how Nebraskans hold their Cornhuskers dear to their hearts.
In fact, Bucs general manager Jason Licht was once a walk-on for Tom Osbourne.
So the Bucs have their franchise quarterback, and two potential starting offensive linemen. What else?
There are a couple of O-linemen out there for the taking, but will any of them still be there when the Bucs select with the 29th pick in the fourth round?
Unless the Bucs make trades, they have five picks today including two fifth-round selections.
Bang your comments and thoughts here as the second half of the draft fires up today.
No NFL team called this weekend to try to swing a trade for QB Mike Glennon.
Last year, the Bucs fielded many calls from various NFL teams wanting the services of quarterback Mike Glennon.
At the time, the Bucs had high hopes for Glennon, even knighting him with the moniker “Quarterback of the Future.” This, despite throwing wads of Team Glazer cash at turnover-prone Josh McCown. [read more]
Marcus Mariota, who many Bucs fans wanted to draft, was a speedy Hawaiian. Instead, with their last pick in the 2015 draft, the Bucs drafted a slower than slow player in Hawaii.
Joey Iosefa, a running back from Hawaii, posted the slowest time of any running back in the combine at 5.02. Below are his highlights. [read more]

George Johnson, T.J. Fatinikun, Larry English, Lawrence Sidbury — it’s the Bucs’ fearsome foursome at right defensive end.
No, the Bucs haven’t drafted an edge rusher. [read more]
Utah receiver Kaelin Clay is your latest Bucs wide receiver. However, return specialist is the name of his game. [read more]
Tampa Bay sixth-round pick Kaelin Clay had a long, rough road to the NFL.
There’s a reason why he’s only got one season of major college statistics, all from the University of Utah. [read more]
As Joe likes to say when folks ask him why he’s not watching a Lightning playoff game or a Rays game when he is Twittering out Bucs nuggets and thoughts, “We live in a football world.” [read more]
Whoa! The Bucs scored another potential toy for Jameis Winston — and a guy who can return punts.
It’s Kaelin Clay out of the University of Utah. [read more]
New Bucs WR Kenny Bell.
Kenny Bell is a damned good college receiver. Nebraska is not known for throwing the ball but in the Bo Pelini era, he opened up the offense more than previous administrations.
The beneficiary was Bell, who left Nebraska with an armful of receiving records including career catches (181) and receiving yards (2,689). He led Nebraska in receiving all four years. [read more]
Bucs GM Jason Licht punked new WR Kenny Bell today.
Jason Licht is a Cornhusker. Folks from Nebraska treat the Nebraska football team like an extension of their immediately family. They bleed Cornhusker red.
The Bucs general manager was once a walk-on for Tom Osborne. So when Licht made the phone call to Cornhuskers wide receiver Kenny Bell to tell him he was now a Buccaneer, Licht decided to pull Bell’s chain a bit this afternoon. [read more]
Joe thinks this Kenny Bell just might have a shot to make the team. The Nebraska receiver is an upgrade over Robert Herron. [read more]
New Bucs WR Kenny Bell.
If new Bucs wide receiver Kenny Bell doesn’t see the field much, he can brag about having the best ‘fro in the NFL.
The Nebraska WR (181 catches in four seasons), a former teammate of Lavonte David, was the Bucs’ fifth round pick this afternoon.
Bell is versatile. He’s quick and he can return kicks. And he has better hands than Robert Herron, that is for sure. [read more]

Jameis Winston might have met his match. [read more]
New Bucs LB Kwon Alexander confessed he doesn’t know of Bucs stud Lavonte David.
It seems new Bucs LB Kwon Alexander is going to get one helluva education when he arrives at One Buc Palace to get ready for rookie minicamp next week. [read more]
New rookie Bucs linebacker Kwon Alexander
Bucs general manager Jason Licht is to quick call the NFL Scouting Combine the “underwear Olympics,” and he discounts some of what players do at the glorified track meet.
Lovie Smith, however, is happy to say he’s a big Combine guy. [read more]
This Kwon Alexander, the new Bucs fourth-round linebacker, probably will be a special teams ace.
Some NFL analysts compare him to Dakoda Watson (remember him?). Alexander was a good tackler, that is for sure, But in the NFL, one needs more than just being a good tackler to succeed. Cody Grimm was a good tackler, too. [read more]
The Buccaneers’ streak ends at nine — nine consecutive offensive players drafted by the Lovie Smith-Jason Licht regime. [read more]
Don’t think Rounds 4 through Rounds 7 mean much?
Think again. [read more]
