April 29th, 2022 at 7:05 pm
Lets go
Some analysts are saying travis jones?
Ehh.
I want booth
April 29th, 2022 at 7:05 pm
CB from Clemson or trade for a 1st next year. Make me happy!
April 29th, 2022 at 7:05 pm
Let’s get things moving folks. I’m excited to see where we go tonight.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:07 pm
Booth or Dean!
April 29th, 2022 at 7:07 pm
On another note, Cris Angel’s show is awesome
April 29th, 2022 at 7:09 pm
trade it…
April 29th, 2022 at 7:10 pm
Remember when Cris Angel was going to survive the blowing up of a hotel in Clearwater, and a helicopter catches him just running out of it like 5 mins before it blows up – then I guess he just goes back in later and they find him as he ‘survived’. Some real cornball stuff.
Not against his Vegas show, I’m sure it’s entertaining, but that’s all I can think about when they show him.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:10 pm
I want Jones over Hall if they go DT.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:11 pm
No activity in the draft room, doesn’t look like they’re trading down.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:11 pm
Phones don’t seem to be ringing……..DAMN!
April 29th, 2022 at 7:12 pm
Now that I’ve given my irrelevant opinion, I’ll trust whatever they do. 😂
April 29th, 2022 at 7:13 pm
That’s a loaded question to ask Gronk. Lol.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:14 pm
Looks like bowles was talking to the new pick on the phone.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:14 pm
I just hope we go defense
April 29th, 2022 at 7:14 pm
Jones?
Booth?
Dean?
April 29th, 2022 at 7:14 pm
Okay Simeon. Make us proud!
April 29th, 2022 at 7:15 pm
Yep, exactly how predicted…
April 29th, 2022 at 7:15 pm
Why The F would someone ever buy a jersey that said “NFL DRAFT” on the back of it?
LOL
April 29th, 2022 at 7:16 pm
Wow, pass on Wyatt for Hall lmfao.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:16 pm
Idk. Feels like a reach
April 29th, 2022 at 7:16 pm
That’s a great pick! He can play everywhere.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:16 pm
Oh yeah!!
April 29th, 2022 at 7:16 pm
Yep. I called it. Rest of you can STFU with your BS. Logan Hall. Called it this morning.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:16 pm
I’m a bit surprised by this to be honest, but you can’t have enough pass rushers / big uglies up front.
Seems like a bit of a project though.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:16 pm
Not happy with licht in this draft. They could have gotten an impact player on defense.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:17 pm
Great pick. Just what we needed. Next: TE.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:17 pm
I hope a lot of us are wrong about this kid.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:17 pm
I like Jones but I trust they know A LOT more than me!
I’m glad they got a DT/DE!
April 29th, 2022 at 7:17 pm
I’m good with this one. Bowles and the boys can coach this kid up and teach him to play with that JPP nastiness.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:18 pm
Very pedestrian in my opinion. Pissed GB just traded up, but didn’t have to trade up with us….
April 29th, 2022 at 7:18 pm
I have zero idea how you pick this guy over Wyatt, unless the red flags on Wyatt are a serious issue.
I watch his highlights and just don’t see anything there. Against low-level players, he’ll overpower some, but that’s about it. Doesn’t look quick, the power isn’t going to work at the NFL level, but what do I know, I watched a 5-min clip, I didn’t scout him.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:18 pm
This guy can rush the passer from the inside.
He had like 6.5 sacks last season.
I’m fine with the pick.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:19 pm
Well, we got what we wished for.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:19 pm
Bucco Bruce
This is the last time I’m going to say this to everyone because it is well documented.
WYATT was a BIG RED FLAG.
The guy has a felony arrest for domestic violence, breaking/entering, & some thing else. While investigating that they found 3 more incidents of domestic violence!. That is why Tampa Bay and almost all the other teams stayed away from him.
No way in hell
April 29th, 2022 at 7:20 pm
I don’t like the pick at all. These guys on defense from small schools never seem to pan out. Very disappointed. Could of traded down and still got this guy imho. Not a great start to Bowles regime.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:20 pm
Just be glad it wasn’t a CB this early.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:20 pm
Rod Munch me neither. Packers are having a good draft ughhhh
April 29th, 2022 at 7:20 pm
Welcome to the Bucs Logan!
April 29th, 2022 at 7:20 pm
We happy about Hall? I wanted Booth
April 29th, 2022 at 7:21 pm
I like the pick. We needed a push from the dline not LB or blitz
April 29th, 2022 at 7:21 pm
ROD there was red flags on wyatt and he had average production on a beyond stacked D.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:21 pm
Looks like JPP to me.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:22 pm
I’m glad we didn’t take Booth. Name a Clemson defensive player who has ever been a all pro or defensive pro bowler? Very few and far between and many are drafted year after year.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:22 pm
Traded back for a player you could have picked up late 2nd early 3rd? What am I missing?
April 29th, 2022 at 7:22 pm
Leopold Stotch i would have booth over hall.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:22 pm
PA Buc Fan,
Pitt is HALF the size of Univ. of Houston and Aaron Donald played there.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:22 pm
Another 2nd round miss.
Ryan is too small or Interior, not quick enough for DE.
Wont be horrible- just wont make an impact.
What is it about Licht and the second round?
April 29th, 2022 at 7:23 pm
I’m wondering if L. Hall can play DT/DE and OLB?
If so – this is a steal!!!
April 29th, 2022 at 7:23 pm
McCreary just went to the Titans.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:23 pm
Jones looks to me like a bull rushing NT or DT, he doesn’t have the quickness to be a DE.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:23 pm
Pitt has had some great players. Name someone from Houston o. The defensive side mainly d line who has ever panned out for anything honestly? Not being a dick cause love the Bucs but not a fan of this pick AT ALL
April 29th, 2022 at 7:24 pm
OK, it was Logan Hall. Hall (unlike Jones) is a DE, or at least a developmental DE.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:24 pm
Captain Tim my man. what about him being too small?
man is over 6 6
April 29th, 2022 at 7:25 pm
Next up the TE out of Colorado if he’s available
April 29th, 2022 at 7:27 pm
McCreary went earlier than I thought. Might make a nice slot CB.
I want Booth, but I don’t see him slipping far.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:28 pm
Jets are killing it.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:28 pm
So we pass on Loyd and Cine and didn’t move up a couple for Johnson and select a Gholston clone. No way will he be better than those two. JL back to JL of old. If you take a chance do it with a DE.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:28 pm
6’6″, 280-ish, 4.88 40 time
Solid Pick, but I feel like we could’ve moved down a few and still had him
April 29th, 2022 at 7:29 pm
Passingthru they should trade up.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:29 pm
Bucs fans are typically wrong in their evaluations, so it makes me happy to know Logan Hall will be a huge success as a Buccaneer.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:29 pm
mistake passing on watson and breece hall
April 29th, 2022 at 7:29 pm
hopefully logan hall can ball
April 29th, 2022 at 7:29 pm
Come on fools, start picking QBs.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:30 pm
There goes pitre.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:31 pm
Too bad, I liked Pitre.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:31 pm
The players I worry about most are the ones that have lots of Buc fans running their mouths about in support. Stay away from such players.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:32 pm
Logan Hall was projected early second round at the latest, so why are so many saying we could’ve traded back and got him later or even the third?
I’m happy with the pick, D-Line was desperately needed.
I trust Licht & Co. way more than I trust all the naysayers on this site.
On another note, the Jets are killing it and looking competent… What happened?
April 29th, 2022 at 7:33 pm
Are the Bucs going to trade a 3rd round pick to NYG for WR K. Toney?
I would be down if we did…
April 29th, 2022 at 7:33 pm
TampabucsBro
Hes 6’6”, but 283 pounds. Too light to play NT in a 3-4 defense.
He lacks the speed to play DE in a 3-4.
Again, not horrible- but wont make an impact.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:34 pm
Logan Hall is a developmental DE, but then the vast majority of the draftees in this round will not be immediate starters
April 29th, 2022 at 7:35 pm
do we trade up if Dean keeps sliding?
April 29th, 2022 at 7:35 pm
Hope this guy can get some sacks up the middle. Scouting reports all over the place on him.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:35 pm
Bruce said he studied this draft more than any draft. Pretty sure they know what they are doing. It’s a 50/50 shot some of these guys that were stars in college don’t make it on the pro level. I trust the Bucs organization knows what they are doing.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:35 pm
Damn. Falcons got Arnold Ebeketie
April 29th, 2022 at 7:36 pm
If I go to Vegas, the last thing I’m doing is standing in a crowd, in the heat, at a draft ‘party’, I can’t believe they have anyone there at all. You take the draft to dumps like Cleveland and Indianapolis where there’s nothing else to do and you’ll get like 200,000 people. If the NFL thought they’d have massive crowds for this, they’re really dumb, people will just watch the picks on their phone as they’re doing one of a billion other things to do in Vegas.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:36 pm
Man I must be getting old, I remember being excited to watch the whole draft and all. Now I wish this thing went like 10x faster.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:38 pm
The Bucs need defense. They need to hope this guy is it.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:38 pm
Never draft for need. Draft talent. So he’s a tweener and versatile.. Not what I want to hear. But I didn’t watch Houston much this year. I’d rather have Dean, Booth, even Ojabo. We still have little pass rush.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:39 pm
Hall is quick enough to play DE. He’s just raw.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:39 pm
Alright,
Alontae Taylor
Ed Ingram
Matt Araiza
April 29th, 2022 at 7:39 pm
Bucamania Says:
Damn. Falcons got Arnold Ebeketie
Not good for us.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:40 pm
Bucco Bruce – Well they used to show the actual draft, and talk about the players, most of whom you’d have never seen before, they’d show highlights, talk about production, etc. Now these idiots show people dancing for 2 mins instead of highlights, do boring interviews where everyone involved says nothing, then go to commercial. It’s terrible for those that like football, which is why I have the TV volume muted and just go find scouting reports and highlights myself since the NFL isn’t actually about football and doesn’t do that stuff anymore.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:41 pm
It is always amazing how many people here are so negative. I don’t get it. Most live somewhere in the Tampa Bay Area, one of the most beautiful places in the country. Beautiful beaches. A state that’s been free for over a year. B2B Stanley Cup champions. Super Bowl rings. Top 10 baseball team. Golf courses and bikinis everywhere.
Yet some of you are just so negative constantly. It’s mind boggling.
Somehow you think you know better than LICHT and Company. I had my favorites I wanted to pick too but I am under no illusion that I know better than they do.
LFG
April 29th, 2022 at 7:41 pm
” He lacks speed to play DE in 3-4.” His 40 time was 4.88. JJ Watt ran a 4.84.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:41 pm
There goes Kyler Gordon.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:42 pm
Hall is going to be fine as an NFL player, will probably play a long time. But he’s raw and while his physical traits are good enough, there’s nothing outstanding about anything, nothing elite. He’ll be a fine NFL player with an acceptable floor and an acceptable ceiling.
Hopefully he proves my take wrong.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:42 pm
My problem with hall is his short arms. He has shorter arms than wyatt.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:43 pm
David – first time on the internet?
April 29th, 2022 at 7:43 pm
We need a wideout.. God forbid Evans gets injured and we only have Gage as a proven commodity. I
April 29th, 2022 at 7:44 pm
Munch
LoL 😂. Good point.
I am really really really close to getting rid of Facebook and Instagram for at least a few months.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:46 pm
Munch
From what I’ve seen, I agree with that about Hall. He’s going to be very good and in the rotation on the D line for years. He’s not a superstar though.
But, not everyone can be. The one thing I do like is he apparently he has a nonstop motor. That always makes up for some deficiencies on defense
April 29th, 2022 at 7:46 pm
Come on Plastic Pete. You need a Russ Wilson wannabe.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:46 pm
It looks like he may as add a bit of weight and start at Suh old position? Or rotate if we do sign him back. If so that’s exactly what I wanted in this draft. We desperately needed someone at Suh spot AS WELL as someone to rotate in for Suh/Gholston. So this could be perfect. Hope he works out. Why they passed on Wyatt seems fairly obvious with his concerns. If we could have got another pick would have been even better but I’m assuming the value wasn’t enough or they really like this guy that much
April 29th, 2022 at 7:46 pm
Licht was essentially on the clock for about 19 hours…….there is absolutely no doubt this is the position we wanted to fill and the player…..
Keep in mind……you cant look at Logan Hall without considering he comes with a 4th & 6th round pick…….(not bad, not bad at all)
April 29th, 2022 at 7:48 pm
@Rod lmao now that you mention it I see why I no longer like it as much. I never even thought about all that was missing from the past, just that it was super dry and boring looking at drunk people screaming for their team the whole time. I’m actually surprised I didn’t even pick up on all that’s missing since I’m generally observant. Which unfortunately still means I am getting old lmfao.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:49 pm
I don’t know, I grade trades and draft picks separately. You can combine them together after the draft for an overall draft grade. That’s when fans can gasp, “OMG, we could have had (fill in the blank)”.
The trade was great. Time will tell regarding the grade of the actual picks.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:50 pm
Hope they trade up here and get another defensive piece.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:51 pm
Again, dummies talking about things they’re ignorant of. Hall is not too slow to play DE in a 3-4 scheme, not by a long shot. It’s not a matter of opinion, it’s a matter of fact. Here are his numbers compared to JTS in their final college seasons and at the combine:
Name, height, weight, tackles, TFL, sacks, 3-cone, short shuttle:
JTS, 6’5″, 259, 41, 12.5, 8, 7.18, 4.36
Hall, 6’6″, 283, 47, 13, 6, 7.25, 4.44
Hall has the size of Will Gholston, close to the short area quickness of JTS, almost as many sacks as JTS and better tackle and tackle for loss production than JTS. He’s also far stronger than JTS, has similar athleticism and just as high of a ceiling.
This guy is the PERFECT 3-4 DE and 5-tech in the Todd Bowles defense and can switch to 3-4 OLB in a pinch and not lack the necessary athleticism. In other words, he can replace Suh, Gholston or Shaq Barrett and do whatever is asked of him along the d-line.
If you don’t have the knowledge, then stop talking.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:51 pm
So I guess another developmental DE it is. This team it not very good at drafting DE.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:52 pm
So what’s the consensus on us making any moves tonight? I’m seeing a few studs continue to fall.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:55 pm
For what it’s worth, Walter Football gave the pick an A-.
Walter Football is a very respected scouting site, or at least they used to be, I’m not sure if it’s the same people as in the past, but they do like the pick, think Hall is better than Wyatt.
“While he may not be a prolific sacker in the NFL, he could be a solid base end who contributes pressure… Hall looks like a future second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He should not slide to Day 3.
Player Comparison: Michael Johnson. Johnson was a third-round pick by the Bengals in 2009 and was a solid end for Cincinnati over a 10-year career.”
So, yeah, there’s that.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:58 pm
Booth is gone. Bastards!
April 29th, 2022 at 7:58 pm
Rod Munch what this team needs is playmakers on defense. They missed the boat early. Don’t get the hype on hall. I don’t like this short arms.
April 29th, 2022 at 7:59 pm
As for Logan Hall, we shall see. I trust their scouting department. The guy will be able to go inside and outside.
I’m curious what they’re going to do with the next pick
April 29th, 2022 at 7:59 pm
The bucs have not improve their defense at all. The way i see it.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:00 pm
Don’t get me wrong I don’t dislike Hall, I just liked a lot of others more. That said people posting shuttle and 40 times doesn’t mean anything and shows no true knowledge of anything. Like Rod said the kid has great size and a decent ceiling but is raw and faced mediocre competition and while doing so didn’t overly dominate. A lot of us were more inclined for a splash move to try and feel more sure at some part of the roster for our run this year is all. Hall will most likely prove to be at the very least a solid player down the road but how much do you think he helps us this year?
April 29th, 2022 at 8:03 pm
Bucco Bruce – I have the ABC/ESPN feed going, and it’s beyond awful. Stupid, boring interviews every segment, they show stupid fat fans dancing over and over again, they show the generic war room footage while they talk about something that isn’t the players, then they got to the stage, the Goodell walk out that takes a min or two, he says a name, they show a 10-15 second highlight package if you’re lucky, if you’re not lucky they just show someone putting on a hat, talk about how their parents are dead and how you need to feel sorry for them, then they go to the desk, say it’s a good pick and go to commercial, repeat. It’s AWFUL.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:04 pm
Rod Munch Says:
April 29th, 2022 at 7:55 pm

So, yeah, there’s that.
___________________________________________________________
Ugh.
Kid just seems like a project.
And a tweener. And he doesn’t look to have some incredible athletic ability (the type of thing that sometimes makes you grab a tweener)
April 29th, 2022 at 8:04 pm
Dean is still on the board rn, looks like there’s about to be another run on receivers, I think we should move up for him
April 29th, 2022 at 8:05 pm
Francisco Guzman – I don’t know about his arm length, but watching his highlights he didn’t look like a t-rex running around, so I think he’ll be OK.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:05 pm
The Bucs are getting old at DE with Suh and Gholston and both Arians and Licht openly stated this offseason they needed to get younger and most importantly, faster, on the d-line next to Vea. They did exactly what they set out to do. They filled that need perfectly. Plus, Hall can move outside whenever necessary and provide pressure there as well. They got better today. Great pick.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:10 pm
DT/DE was the right call. They lost some people there and they’re getting old.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:11 pm
Could the Bucs be looking at double dipping and get Travis Jones still at 60? or move up to get him?
April 29th, 2022 at 8:11 pm
Man, Im happy for Ojabo, looks like a great kid.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:11 pm
Key and Peele!!!
April 29th, 2022 at 8:12 pm
unbelievable – to me, a 1st rounder, and this is a 1st rounder since they slid out of the 1st round to take him, they should have some elite trait. He doesn’t. He sounds like he’s good enough in all areas, and sometimes those guys can end up being real good, doing stuff that never showed up on tape in college.
I’m not sure I’d say he’s a project player however, to me that means years of sitting on the bench, I don’t think that’s the case, but I’m pretty sure Suh is coming back, and in that case, he doesn’t need to play a ton, which is probably for the best.
With Wyatt, what I liked about him, and what some people did not like, is that he was older, 24, and looked pro-ready, as much as a DT/DE can look. Also he had an explosive first step in the highlights I saw, that’s what I want to see with any defensive lineman. I don’t see that with Hall. He does run around some scrub players at schools you never heard of, but that won’t work at the NFL level, he needs a burst, not straight line speed 40-yards down the field.
But Hall isn’t bad at anything it doesn’t appear either.
In any case, the pick is made, I don’t dislike Hall, I just like him a lot better at #60 than #33, but it doesn’t seem like he’d have lasted that long.
Lets see what they do with that extra 4th, if that’s a steal, then this pick looks a lot better.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:12 pm
They should’ve gave him some sort of crazy African name so he could have broke into the Key and Peele All-Star game skit!!
April 29th, 2022 at 8:15 pm
My guess for the next four picks, in no particular order, are DB, OL, RB, WR or possibly TE.
I know they need TE but it’s a weak class.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:15 pm
Bucs are 12 picks away now, Dean and Jones both still on the board. What are the odds both of them are still there when we pick again?
April 29th, 2022 at 8:19 pm
Hoping Trey McBride makes it to the Bucs’ next pick.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:20 pm
It’s not a pressing need right now but Dean is still there at linebacker. He’s every bit as quick as LVD.
LVD probably covers a little better but Dean is probably better at Blitzing.
I think they need to go DB but if Dean keeps slipping, I don’t see how you can pass him up
April 29th, 2022 at 8:21 pm
Trade up!!!
April 29th, 2022 at 8:23 pm
Jaquan! I was pushing for him at first but then we signed safety help, so I stopped.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:23 pm
The slimy saints about to draft.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:23 pm
FLBoy
I know they need a TE but McBride is the best one in the draft and he is 3rd round.
He’s basically Brate.
Good hands and a decent route runner, does nothing after the catch, average blocker.
If he’s there in the third, sure but I would not use a second round pick on him
April 29th, 2022 at 8:25 pm
So WR George Pickens might be there when we pick.
Better snap that up….grab Alontae with our 3rd.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:26 pm
Cmon Saints. Take a QB.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:27 pm
Not stuck on any one player, just hoping they fill the needs at TE, WR, DB, LB.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:28 pm
Saints took a corner???
April 29th, 2022 at 8:29 pm
Well damn, there goes Alontae…..good pick Saints.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:30 pm
Looks like by the time the Bucs pick there won’t be much remaining 2nd round value at DB, EDGE or WR. Might have to focus on other positions here.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:31 pm
Something tells me Jason’s trigger finger is getting itchy right now.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:32 pm
If the saints had a QB this team would be in big trouble.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:33 pm
I really like looking at Walter football with draft reports but they have so many pop-ups now it’s almost impossible to scroll!

Players I hope make it to the Bucs’ next pick:
1) Nakobe Dean
2) Travis Jones
3) Skyy Moore
4) Trey McBride
April 29th, 2022 at 8:37 pm
Bucs need to trade a couple of spots before they lose on a player they like.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:37 pm
I think Jones won’t go because they took Hall, same position.
McBride is a third round pick. He’s Cameron Brate, nothing more. Steady but average blocker
April 29th, 2022 at 8:38 pm
I feel like we gotta move, there’s no way Jones and Dean keep slipping right?
April 29th, 2022 at 8:38 pm
Crazy to think the saints added another corner. They have so many good quality corners.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:40 pm
Most of the draft sites with the best track records have McBride ranked as a second rounder. Plus PR has been reporting for weeks that the Bucs are very high on him at the bottom of the second round.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:40 pm
David – Brate was undrafted because physically he wasn’t anything impressive. Also, early Brate, not the current one, was a pretty good NFL TE who caught everything. McBride has a lot more physical traits than Brate did, thus the reason is a projected 2nd round pick. But if you can give Brady, young Brate, who hasn’t lost a step yet, that’s something you’d spend a 2nd rounder on.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:41 pm
The problem with Dean is that I’m not sure how he fits in with this defense – he’s not big enough to be a White type of ILB, and he’s not fast enough to be a coverage LB like David.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:42 pm
I also like the TE’s out of UCLA and Ohio State but they’re more of a consideration in the third round.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:42 pm
Acey
They already took Hall, they’re not taking Jones.
Jones was a rd 2/3 guy anyway. I wanted him because I thought it was great value there but I don’t know what they’re going after now. I assume DB or maybe WR.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:43 pm
Well there goes Pickens
April 29th, 2022 at 8:44 pm
Munch
Don’t go by Dean’s 49 time. He is every bit as fast as LVD and very quick through traffic. I don’t think he covers as well as LVD but LVD has also gotten better and better over the years.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:44 pm
Damnnn Pierce was the WR I was hoping they could get in round two or three
April 29th, 2022 at 8:46 pm
Man, the WR’s are being thinned out in a major way this round. Not sure why Skyy Moore hasn’t been take but I have to believe the Bucs would at least consider him. They need someone to take Godwin’s role for at least the first half of the season. This Arians offense doesn’t work with just two WR’s and right now that’s all they have at the top of the depth chart.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:47 pm
What about perrion winfrey? Can he play in a 3-4?
April 29th, 2022 at 8:48 pm
Skyy Moore?
April 29th, 2022 at 8:48 pm
Yeah, I like Dean too. He seems like a future LVD replacement and LVD is not getting any younger.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:49 pm
PFF stream is ahead of everything else I’m seeing right; Chiefs have taken Skyy and Arizona has taken McBride.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:49 pm
Hoping for Chad Muma. This kid may be the next Kuechly
April 29th, 2022 at 8:51 pm
nevermind…on skyy
April 29th, 2022 at 8:51 pm
It’s getting really close. I can’t see how they can pass up Dean if he is there. He will replace LVD eventually but he is completely capable of getting in the rotation and in different sets and contributing right away, especially blitzing.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:51 pm
David – David is a HOFer, so any comparisons to guys not even drafted should be done with that in mind. But when it comes to speed and quickness, David was a 4.5 guy and covered everyone in college, plus he could rush the passer – he was undersized but made up for it with speed and quickness. Dean didn’t run a 40, because he likely knows he times poorly. Scouts think he’s more of a 4.7 guy, not big enough to cover TEs, and not fast enough to cover RBs. That’s why he’s falling from what I’m reading.
I didn’t watch him, so I have no idea, but looking at his traits and his size, he seems like a tweener without good speed.
Again, could be wrong, just going based off what I read.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:52 pm
Tolbert is a wideout i would like.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:52 pm
Trey McBride to ARZ
April 29th, 2022 at 8:53 pm
Well, there goes McBride if the Bucs wanted him.
There’s other options in the 3rd if they want a TE.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:53 pm
James Cook at 60?
April 29th, 2022 at 8:54 pm
Well two of the players I hoped for are gone: Moore and McBride. Now there’s just Dean and Jones from my list.
I could see them taking the TE out of UCLA, too.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:54 pm
Damn. Oh well time for an O Lineman.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:55 pm
Personally I think any tight end in this draft besides him is a project. McBride to me , is just going to be Cameron Brate in the NFL. Second round was a reach.
I’m kind of shocked so many receivers just went. I thought Pierce from Cincy or Skyy Moore would still be there
April 29th, 2022 at 8:55 pm
Knew we had to trade up to 50 to get McBride
April 29th, 2022 at 8:55 pm
These QBs falling are killing the Bucs, you want there to be a run on QBs right now.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:55 pm
I like Ruckert the TE out of Ohio State. Solid catcher, solid blocker, can do everything we could ask of him
April 29th, 2022 at 8:55 pm
Trade up!! Dean???
I’m not sure who else you would trade up for unless there’s a receiver they want because so many just went
April 29th, 2022 at 8:56 pm
Oh, traded up!
Dean?
April 29th, 2022 at 8:56 pm
Bucs traded up now?
April 29th, 2022 at 8:56 pm
Trade up with Buffalo.
Bucs on the clock!
Travis Jones, anyone?
April 29th, 2022 at 8:56 pm
We traded up!
April 29th, 2022 at 8:56 pm
BUCS ON THE CLOCK
April 29th, 2022 at 8:56 pm
Bucs on the clock
April 29th, 2022 at 8:56 pm
Moved up! Got to be Jones or Dean.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:56 pm
Just jumped the dirt birds lol
April 29th, 2022 at 8:57 pm
BUCS SELECT QB MALIK WILLIS!!!
WOW.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:57 pm
If Jones is still there, I’d totally take him. I didn’t like him at #33, but at #60 he’s a steal, and now you got 3 young defensive lineman with Vita, and Hall and Jones can sit and learn for a year before needing to be starters – and they can still get reps this year to rest the vets.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:57 pm
That was a joke, BTW. 🙂
April 29th, 2022 at 8:57 pm
Well… I see the pick on Twitter, won’t ruin it… but it’s not who you think.
April 29th, 2022 at 8:58 pm
Better be Cook or Dean
April 29th, 2022 at 8:58 pm
Nakobe Dean….go get him Mr Licht!
April 29th, 2022 at 8:59 pm
I mean, it’s not a bad pick but… with what was still on the board?
April 29th, 2022 at 9:00 pm
It’s a very Licht type of pick.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:00 pm
Ok, no problem! I never get upset when the big uglies are taken
April 29th, 2022 at 9:00 pm
OT LUKE GOEDEKE
April 29th, 2022 at 9:01 pm
Why did the Bucs trade up? How in the hell did they think someone else would take him first?
April 29th, 2022 at 9:01 pm
An OT who will move to guard?
That’s the pick?
Could’ve had Travis Jones and one of the best young defensive lines in the entire league!
April 29th, 2022 at 9:01 pm
I like that one.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:01 pm
Enjoy the rest of the draft men
April 29th, 2022 at 9:01 pm
Alrighty then. needed O line so Im all for it!
what trades did we lose?
April 29th, 2022 at 9:02 pm
Ok then. I trust Licht with offensive line picks
April 29th, 2022 at 9:02 pm
Yo Luv!! What up Bro
April 29th, 2022 at 9:02 pm
Teams must be passing on Dean for a reason.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:02 pm
Super happy with this one. Dude is a beast and will fit well at Guard and can always work out at RT in a pinch.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:02 pm
Bucs don’t need a T. He won’t see the field. D Smith 2 years left on his contract and Wirfs 3 years left.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:03 pm
Awful selection. Christ!!!!!
April 29th, 2022 at 9:03 pm
Bucs sent the 6th rounder they got from Jacksonville to trade up. So didn’t cost much, but no idea why they needed to give up anything, no one was taking him until the 4th round.
With that said, Licht should FULLY be trusted on the offensive line. He way overdrafted Cappa, most everyone had him as a 6th rounder to UDFA, and Licht took him in the 3rd, it worked out – so while I think the trading up makes no sense, I have no doubt it’s a good pick, and that’s what matters, plus a 6th rounder isn’t much.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:03 pm
MadMax
Travis Jones & Nakobe Dean was right there bruh smh
April 29th, 2022 at 9:04 pm
Looks like a huge reach.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:04 pm
WTF is Warrick Dunn doing announcing the Falcons pick!?! SACRILEGE!
April 29th, 2022 at 9:05 pm
Minnesota just took O-line, so I understand why we moved up now
April 29th, 2022 at 9:05 pm
I questioned the trade-up until seeing Minnesota drafted a G with 59
April 29th, 2022 at 9:06 pm
Not happy. Nakobe Dean, Chad Muma… I mean Licht know what he’s doing, but just disappointed. Seems like a reach
April 29th, 2022 at 9:06 pm
Yeah, Im a little perplexed Luv. But we need an O line guy….and just like that, (my guy) Ed Ingram goes next.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:06 pm
Dude isn’t a T in the NFL he is a Guard and will be a beast. Had him just barely over Cole Strange tbh. Not sure why we moved up but I guess they wanted the guy and after Johnson got stolen from us last night they wanted to be sure.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:06 pm
DE – Travis Jones
NT – Vita Vea
DE – Logan Hall
There’s your complete rebuild.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:06 pm
He’s not a tackle, he’s going to be a guard. Licht, however, likes drafting former tackles because they can pretty much play anywhere on the line.
Again, Licht MORE than gets the benefit of the doubt on offensive lineman. I have ZERO doubt this will be a quality pick, and people will wonder why he was projected as a 4th-5th rounder.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:07 pm
What draft capital did we lose?
April 29th, 2022 at 9:08 pm
Madmax
Ed’s a warrior – could’ve easily picked him up or someone comparable in the 3rd round.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:08 pm
Not who I was thinking, but I have full confidence in Licht when it comes to o-line players.
That said, I highly doubt he needed to trade up to draft him, but oh well.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:09 pm
In Licht I trust.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:09 pm
Madmax
Ed’s a warrior – could’ve easily picked him up or someone comparable in the 3rd round.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:09 pm
Looks like we gave up our 6th round pick we got from Jax……..don’t understand the trade up but Licht does that a lot….he must have intel or really had to have the player……couldn’t stand waiting…..
Have to trust Licht with Oline….
April 29th, 2022 at 9:10 pm
Guard is a need and it is impossible to second guess Licht on drafting the OL even if this looked like a Bellicheat pick. That being said it is time to address the defensive secondary. Will the Bucs target someone in the early 4th round and trade up? I love how some of the posters hate the pick, like they think that they are smarter than Licht on OL selections, then again Mel Kiper gets paid a lot of coin to do the same thing in front of a camera for a living when he blows up a player or organization because they did not pick who he liked.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:10 pm
We gave up the 6th we got from Jax yesterday.
So the first pick in the 6th round. (180 overall)
April 29th, 2022 at 9:11 pm
We lost pick 180. The last one we got from Jags last night
April 29th, 2022 at 9:11 pm
Bengals take Taylor-Britt… I don’t know what the quality of the DBs is gonna be when the 3rd round reaches us
April 29th, 2022 at 9:12 pm
Both lines addressed with 1st two picks, just like I’d hoped.
Great picks. Bowes knows dline, Licht knows oline.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:12 pm
Alright so our next picks are 91 and the top of the 4th (106)
Got to find Matt Araiza with that 4th….yeah, Im going there!!!
April 29th, 2022 at 9:12 pm
Awesome. Thank you.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:13 pm
Let’s make another move and grab Dean now. Everything I’ve heard is that despite his size he was the heart of that defense and was the best playmaker in the front 7 by a wide margin on that team.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:15 pm
This confirms they wanted one of the two guards in the 1st round.
Now they’re just reaching.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:18 pm
Really thought we should have moved up to early 50s to get the #1 TE McBride. Don’t like the UCLA TE. Maybe Woods UVA TE or Ruckert OSU TE in the 3rd.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:18 pm
Some guys that might be available 30-picks from now…
TE Jelani Woods
DE Eyioma Uwazurike
S Bryan Cook
CB Marcus Jones
Now, with Jones, he’s a small guy – but supposed to be the best returner in this draft. If the Bucs took him, I think it’s likely as a project corner, but someone who comes in day 1 and gives them an electric returner. I’d absoutely take that if the scouting reports about being a return guy are true. Then, who knows, maybe he becomes a Brent Grimes, undersized, type of corner – not likely, but the return ability alone, if it’s as good as hyped, would be worth a 3rd rounder and really help one huge hole on this team.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:20 pm
Dean is slow. Need someone who can cover TE or RB in pass coverage because White can’t coverl
April 29th, 2022 at 9:21 pm
Bryan Cook 8s gone.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:21 pm
Nice find Rod.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:25 pm
LUVMYBUCS, Jason Licht always strikes gold with offensive line. If he does again, it’s not a reach.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:26 pm
Brian Robinson Jr with our 3rd if he’s there.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:26 pm
Yes on Robinson.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:28 pm
Dean not running the 40 has spoked teams, plus not hitting the 6′ height min as well makes people question things. I’m not so worried about his height, doesn’t matter much to me if you’re 5’11 or 6’0, but the speed is huge, since an undersized guy will have to fast to make up for the size. By not running the 40, he’s telling teams he’s not fast, and now he’s a very poor fit for most defenses if they don’t think he can run.
If he could run like a 4.6, then his agent, or whoever told him not to run, is an idiot.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:31 pm
If you lack speed OR size but have talent many teams will work with you. If you lack BOTH, like it seems Dean may be after doing more research, then you’re in for a steep draft day slide.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:39 pm
Still hoping the Bucs trade up for Travis Jones. Barring that, these are the guys I hope make it to pick #91:
1) Perrion Winfrey DT
2) Christian Harris ILB
3) DeMarvin Leal DE
4) Greg Dulcich TE
5) Jeremy Ruckert TE
6) Channing Tindall ILB
April 29th, 2022 at 9:46 pm
Seeing… ‘Georgia LB Nakobe Dean declined surgery on his shoulder, and it’s now a major concern/medical red flag.’
Apparently has a bunch of injuries, but that one is a medical red flag, causing him to slip.
I will say at this range, for a guy expected to go that high, this is where you’d take a chance on hitting the lottery, which you’d do if you took him and he played up to his potential.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:47 pm
For those who want trenches……we got trenches
April 29th, 2022 at 9:55 pm
I’m always good with trenches. Really felt dline had to be our first pick. Guard I thought stinnie would be pretty good and hainsey is there, but I generally trust Licht on oline. We should have some good depth if any injuries happen as well
April 29th, 2022 at 9:55 pm
For what it’s worth, Walter Football gave the Goedeke pick a B+, said they had him as a late 2nd, or early 3rd.
Interesting, because I didn’t see him in that range anywhere else.
So, if you’re trying to guess who the Bucs are looking at, Walter Sports might be a good place to look since they seem to be in tune with what the Bucs are thinking.
April 29th, 2022 at 9:56 pm
Well there goes TE Woods, he was #2 on my personal board.
That stinks.
Oh well, as long as Gronk is back, we’re fine, and I think Gronk will be back.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:01 pm
Someone explain to me why so many are saying Jones, Jones, Jones? I wanted him too but that’s before they took Logan Hall. They got their D-Line pick.
They were not gonna draft back to back D-line.
As for the O line pick, I’m sure they had their reason to move up but they barely gave up anything for it, a 6th rounder.
And all I see everywhere about the guy they drafted is he’s nasty and relentless!
Love it!
I know everyone wants flashy but you can not fault going with the trenches, ever.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:03 pm
Malik Willis must be feeling pretty down right now. Went from the green room to not even being drafted yet and we’re already in the third round. Desmond Ridder just got take by the Falcons at #74 and Willis keeps on sliding. He and Dean are the surprise sliders this year.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:04 pm
I am happy. D line and a line. Can’t go wrong. Both of them have a motor. The O line guy is said to be nasty and relentless.
Love it!
I was calling for Dean also but he is falling for a reason. I wasn’t sure why but it seems he’s got a shoulder issue. May be a good value pick in round three if he still there
April 29th, 2022 at 10:05 pm
Gronk will def be back….hes just playing around
April 29th, 2022 at 10:07 pm
What do we do if Gronk gets injured though? What if Brate gets injured? Both are old and liable to get hurt, we gotta pick up something as some kind of insurance
April 29th, 2022 at 10:07 pm
Welp, there went Harris and Jones back to back. That sucks.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:13 pm
What if worms had guns? Then robins wouldn’t screw with them.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:16 pm
What if my aunt had balls?
She’d be my uncle.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:23 pm
They need a DT. Perrion Winfrey? Can he play in a 3-4 defense?
April 29th, 2022 at 10:25 pm
If they dont trade up I like TE GREG DULCICH, UCLA (PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 70) for pick 91
Dulcich is a former walk-on who’s one of the best all-around athletes for a tight end in the draft. He’s an ascending player who has matured by leaps and bounds physically since he got to UCLA
April 29th, 2022 at 10:29 pm
Dulcich was already drafted at #80. I wanted him as a Buc also.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:29 pm
New England Patriots Fan he has been picked already.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:29 pm
Hoping for Jeremy Ruckert TE or Perrion Winfrey DT at this point.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:30 pm
Leal just got drafted by the Steelers.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:31 pm
Joe –
Unless you want me to believe Cody McElroy is an acceptable substitute for when Gronk goes down, we need to find another TE for the roster. We’d have to be stupid to not carry a back-up plan for when Gronk likely gets injured during the season. Where are we going to find a capable one in Free Agency with our murdered cap space?
April 29th, 2022 at 10:34 pm
Trade up for Winfrey!!!!! Need a DT!!!!
April 29th, 2022 at 10:36 pm
Trade up for Winfrey or CB McCollum.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:46 pm
Brian Robinson Jr please!
April 29th, 2022 at 10:46 pm
Nick Cross or Isiah Spiller
April 29th, 2022 at 10:50 pm
I’m sure it’ll be Spiller or Winfrey.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:51 pm
They went RB!
April 29th, 2022 at 10:51 pm
White, ASU RB
April 29th, 2022 at 10:52 pm
The only sure bet in Vegas is that bspn will cut to a commercial during our pick.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:53 pm
Thought White was more of a 4th rounder.
Obviously they had him rated higher than Spiller.
Still a good pick.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:53 pm
The defense was weak last year. They should be drafting defense.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:54 pm
Still need a TE.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:55 pm
Super stoked, just picked up the 2nd best RB in the draft imo behind Hall.
April 29th, 2022 at 10:55 pm
They grabbed a good RB…not my pick, but a pick at the position I wanted. Im happy 😀
Now we need Matt Araiza
April 29th, 2022 at 10:56 pm
CB, S and DLine after TE
April 29th, 2022 at 10:57 pm
Wouldn’t be surprised if they trade back in here and grab Ruckert or Winfrey.
April 29th, 2022 at 11:00 pm
Would be ecstatic if the got back in here and grabbed Ruckert, Otton, Winfrey, or Chenal.
April 29th, 2022 at 11:02 pm
I have to wake up at 230am for work…..but im gonna hang around….life will suck tomorrow for me lol.
April 29th, 2022 at 11:06 pm
More D and a TE please. I don’t see this pick an immediate need. Vaughn never got enough reps to prove himself IMO. But White was picked for a reason.
My sleeper pick is TE Jake Fergusen from Wisconsin. A solid all rounder.
April 29th, 2022 at 11:13 pm
and there goes Robinson….we’re good though.
April 29th, 2022 at 11:28 pm
Well there goes Ruckert and Chenal
