NFL Draft Night 1, Open Thread

April 24th, 2025

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!
