So Rounds 4 through 7 of the NFL Draft are today and few things get Joe to throw boulders through windows more than hearing someone talk about “throwaway” NFL Draft picks in late rounds. [read more]
“Mike, no excuse for this kid not to ball out.”
Joe is confident the Bucs expect Jalen McMillan, their third-round pick of a wide receiver last night (No. 92 overall), to make a significant impact rather quickly. [read more]
In trouble.
Bucs nickel cornerback Christian Izien is about to run into something called “investiture.” [read more]
Bucs GM Jason Licht.
So we are a couple of hours away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft Day 3. Joe isn’t sure the Bucs have addressed all the holes but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any decent players left. [read more]
Bucs assistant GM John Spytek.

Bucs OLB Chris Braswell.
Joe will confess to not watching much SEC football. With the new SEC debuting this fall, that will change. So outside of the Rose Bowl against Michigan, Joe didn’t see much of Alabama. [read more]

Bucs GM Jason Licht.
So here we are. Night 2 has begun of this three-day NFL holiday weekend. Who will the Bucs pick? Can’t be an edge rusher. Maybe a corner? Maybe a receiver? How about a left guard? Bang it here all night. And as always, Joe asks kindly, do play nice.
