Bucs VP of Player Personnel John Spytek,

They did alright.
The Bucs were in no position to shake up the 2022 NFL draft – and they didn’t. No big deal. [read more]
Punter Bradley Pinion
Back in March of 2019, Bucco Bruce Arians shocked the world (or at least Joe) and declared punter Bradley Pinion the Bucs’ most important free agent signing of the offseason. [read more]
Bucs may channel the past.
The fullback is an endangered NFL species. That’s partly because it is a passing league. [read more]
Bucs TE Cade Otton.
It seems Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht and his staff love Washington. The university. [read more]

Joe’s always in favor of drafting a player molded by Minnesota Golden Gophers head coach P.J. Fleck. [read more]
How refreshing to hear an NFL Scouting Combine story that doesn’t involve a general manager blowing smoke or a head coaching planting nonsense in the media to confuse other clubs. [read more]
For those playing the NFL Draft home game, the Bucs’ only picks remaining are in Round 7.
They have three of those following today’s trades.
Tampa Bay picks in the middle of the round at No. 235, followed by No. 248 and No. 262, the second-to-last pick in the draft.
The Bucs need to upgrade their special teams coverage talent, and Round 7 is a good place to do that. That’s where the Bucs landed hair-on-fire linebacker Grant Stuard last year and guys like Dakoda Watson and Cody Grimm in years past.
Jason Licht is wheeling and dealing.
General manager Jason Licht was dealing again this afternoon, this time going in attack mode for a fifth-round cornerback/special teams ace. [read more]
Bucs CB Zyon McCollum.
So the Bucs have a new cornerback as a result of trading up to the No. 157th pick (third pick in the fifth round) and snagged San Houston State corner Zyon McCollum. [read more]
Bucs P Jake Camarda.
Joe knows there is all sorts of howling from Bucs fans who are angry with Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht for not drafting (insert a name) from Georgia. Well, he corrected that today. [read more]
Bucs TE Cade Otton.
So this is pretty interesting to Joe. [read more]
Washington TE Cade Otton.
Bucs fans wanted one and now they have one. A big tight end. [read more]
The Bucs seem to find players from the PAC-12. And maybe leaning on that history, the Bucs began the third day of the 2022 draft by selecting Washington tight end Cade Otton.
Here is what Joe wrote about Otton this morning in a piece about players the Bucs may target:
Cade Otton, TE, Washington: Big guy (6-5, 247) who was a four-year starter. Averaged 14.3 yards per catch as a junior. Last year a combination of a bum foot, missing two games due to COVID protocols and having godawful quarterbacks stunted his numbers.
Former Bucs QB Shaun King talks to Joe about new Tampa Bay running back Rachaad White.
Perhaps Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht listens to Shaun King’s national show? [read more]
Bucs GM Jason Licht
The Bucs pick first in Round 4 to open today’s final day of the 2022 NFL Draft. So who might be the Bucs be looking at? Joe has ideas. [read more]
Former defensive back and NFL scout Bucky Brooks of NFL Network thinks the Bucs got a very cool toy for Bucs coach Todd Bowles. [read more]
Working hard or…
The Bucs are knee-deep in building the 2022 roster, and of course the Bucs have folks working in Las Vegas for the draft. [read more]
Anyone has ever driven from Milwaukee to a game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay pretty much has an idea of the background of new Bucs guard Luke Goedeke. [read more]
