The fullback is an endangered NFL species. That’s partly because it is a passing league. [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.

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.
