NFL Draft Rounds Nos. 2 & 3, Open Thread
April 28th, 2023
Bucs GM Jason Licht.
So here we are for the second night of the NFL draft where the Bucs will add two more players to their roster, maybe more with a trade.
Will the Bucs grab an offensive tackle? A safety? An edge rusher? A running back? A quarterback?
Bang it here all night long with your Bucs thoughts and other happenings surrounding the draft.
As always, play nice! 🙂
April 28th, 2023 at 6:51 pm
Mauch, Branch or D Washington
April 28th, 2023 at 6:54 pm
Want BEEF!
April 28th, 2023 at 6:54 pm
I JUST WANT AN OFFENSIVE TACKLE, IS THAT SO WRONG???
April 28th, 2023 at 6:56 pm
Four? Someone has been up all night and day.
April 28th, 2023 at 6:57 pm
TE, O-Line, and RB….need to trade back
April 28th, 2023 at 6:58 pm
Can’t believe Branch is there! Need line today but would love using the five picks in rounds 5 and 6 to move up if Branch can be had!
April 28th, 2023 at 6:59 pm
Gotta PAY and move up in the 2nd and get the guy you want!
April 28th, 2023 at 7:01 pm
I will recommend the ESPN YouTube feed for people that want to see draft coverage where they actually talk about the players abilities, and how they’ll do in the NFL and show highlights, etc. It was quite good last night, no sob stories, no dead parents, and no commercials.
April 28th, 2023 at 7:01 pm
So many needs, so few picks. Take the best available of our needs. OT (preferred left tackle), ILB, Nickel Corner, Edge, TE?, RB? LFG!!
April 28th, 2023 at 7:01 pm
Well, lets be real….if we stay put, O’Cyrus and Avila will be gone, so will Washington, who I want badly….so I guess go with Mauch or LB Simpson…or maybe Hooker if he’s there (he wont be)…or if none of them are there, that leaves us with a trade down…OR just go ahead and snag ACHANE!
ACHANE, ACHANE, ACHANE, ACHANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 7:03 pm
Tucker Kraft after Achane!
April 28th, 2023 at 7:03 pm
Thanks
Rod M
I’m going there now, I watched the Pat McAfee YouTube last night and it was awesome
I too hate the sob stories and overhype
April 28th, 2023 at 7:04 pm
OT or death!
OT or death!
OT or death!
April 28th, 2023 at 7:05 pm
Yeah Rod, thats who I watched last night
April 28th, 2023 at 7:07 pm
I love people saying someone will be there.
Aint none of you thought Gibbs would go at 12
April 28th, 2023 at 7:09 pm
Bucs needs to move up to get Avila, Jones or Ringo. Or even Mayer at TE. Here we go! Steelers probably want Joey porter jr… lol.
Would not be surprised if Jason goes off the reservation and gets Hooker or Levis.
April 28th, 2023 at 7:09 pm
LFG!!
April 28th, 2023 at 7:09 pm
I’d look for an ILB, if there’s anyone available. I want someone who is fast and can cover, because David isn’t going to be here forever.
For the offensive line, just depends on value, but it’s not like the team is going to compete this year, so I wouldn’t reach for anyone.
April 28th, 2023 at 7:10 pm
Oh wonderful my posts are awaiting moderation. So much for real time responses.
April 28th, 2023 at 7:11 pm
Who’s gonna riot if we draft a QB?
April 28th, 2023 at 7:15 pm
If the Bucs got Hooker in the 2nd, I’d be fine with that.
April 28th, 2023 at 7:20 pm
Licht just pulled off a trade!! His wings for onion rings
April 28th, 2023 at 7:21 pm
It’s pronounced YEE-Bor, Tom Grossi, and the Y is silent.
April 28th, 2023 at 7:22 pm
Will Levis finally drafted. Our long national nightmare is over.
THIS FREES UP MORE OT FOR US!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 7:23 pm
Here we go!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 7:25 pm
ffffff I was hoping for LaPorta in the Third Round…
April 28th, 2023 at 7:27 pm
I’d be more than fine if the bucs didn’t draft hooker at all and drafted tune late in the draft.
April 28th, 2023 at 7:28 pm
Brian Branch
Keeanu Benton
Zach Charbonnet
Julius Brents
Keion White
Dawned Jones
John Michael Schmitz
April 28th, 2023 at 7:32 pm
There’s a run on TE now.
April 28th, 2023 at 7:35 pm
there goes Avila
April 28th, 2023 at 7:36 pm
Meanwhile back the ranch…
Joe, the crazies and zombies come out on draft days!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 7:38 pm
whoa, my mom is pissed the Bucs won’t draft Derrick Hall now.
April 28th, 2023 at 7:41 pm
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF THE FALCS TOOK BERGERON
April 28th, 2023 at 7:43 pm
If Branch is still there he’s a solid need pick, what about the Mauch even Torrence?
April 28th, 2023 at 7:43 pm
always here for your entertainment Dom…enjoy the show while sippin your glass of wine with your pinky sticking out lol
April 28th, 2023 at 7:45 pm
Does Brian Branch molest collies?
Why the slide?
April 28th, 2023 at 7:47 pm
Predicting Mingo to the Cats now
April 28th, 2023 at 7:48 pm
Come on Washington!!!! Fall to us at 50!!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 7:49 pm
Branch is sliding because his height and skill set make him more of a situational slot DB than a full-time safety, even WITH all the positive intangibles.
April 28th, 2023 at 7:50 pm
T.Simpson, B. Branch, D. Washington, K. White are all in reach!
April 28th, 2023 at 7:51 pm
I would be fine with hooker at #50, or the Clemson ILB Trenton Simpson. Or trade Devin White and move up a little
April 28th, 2023 at 7:52 pm
OT OR DEATH!
OT OR DEATH!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 7:53 pm
Torrence will go in a few for sure…unless theres some stuff we dont know about….
April 28th, 2023 at 7:55 pm
Edge rushers are now all about gone damn
April 28th, 2023 at 8:03 pm
Branch dropping because his slow 40.
Nice job JL all the quality DE are about gone. I really like Musgrave but we waited.
No on Hoooker.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:05 pm
dammit I was hoping for C Tippman in the Third.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:06 pm
We’ll be all right. Need to beef up the O with this next pick. Good with OL or RB. If they go with Hooker I will understand. I think Hooker will make a good NFL QB.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:07 pm
There goes Julius Brents
April 28th, 2023 at 8:08 pm
All of the edge rushers and Oline went fast. I hope they have some kind of answer for this offensive line or mayfield will be running for his life.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:10 pm
I love all the people saying trade back. Look at all the players we wanted being grabbed before we even get to draft our 2nd round pick.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:10 pm
why did the Pack trade with Lions? You’re not supposed to trade with teams in your own division. it’s an unwritten rule. it’s collusion.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:10 pm
Torrance or Ringo
April 28th, 2023 at 8:11 pm
IJLIT
April 28th, 2023 at 8:11 pm
only reason now to trade down is if the OTs we need are gone at 50, and we can snag an extra Third or Fourth out of it.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:11 pm
Everyone seems to be making clever trades while the Bucs sit in the corner and hide…..oh boy!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:13 pm
Brian Branch Solid Pick
April 28th, 2023 at 8:14 pm
Solid pick by the Lions.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
Darn. It was getting close, so I was hoping Brian branch would be there for the Buccaneers.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
Let Licht do his thing. Licht brought us a SB!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
Wait did Tampa Bay trade up from 50?
April 28th, 2023 at 8:17 pm
We traded up Hooker 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
April 28th, 2023 at 8:17 pm
We just traded up. What did we give up.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:18 pm
Hope not
April 28th, 2023 at 8:18 pm
Keon White gone, WHOA.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:18 pm
Bucs traded up to Packers which got it from trade-down to Lions. Bucs now at 48. OH GOD WE’RE GOING FOR AN OT!!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:19 pm
Bucs take Cody Mauch
April 28th, 2023 at 8:20 pm
Here we go 🤞
April 28th, 2023 at 8:20 pm
We jumped Pittsburgh. why?
April 28th, 2023 at 8:21 pm
We usually trade up for guys that wont get drafted for 2 more rounds
April 28th, 2023 at 8:21 pm
not a fan of another small school Guard. Jeez
April 28th, 2023 at 8:21 pm
Torrence please!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:21 pm
I like the pick.
Welcome to Tampa Cody. Please get that grill fixed son…
April 28th, 2023 at 8:21 pm
THE PICK IS IN!!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:22 pm
Oh yes! Gave up pick 179 to leapfrog the Steelers.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:22 pm
I guess we are building the trenches though.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:22 pm
Yeah!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:23 pm
Likee !
April 28th, 2023 at 8:23 pm
Huh? Who?
April 28th, 2023 at 8:23 pm
I concur Marine Buc Mr Licht loves these small college lineman. Fills a need. I guess the Bucs knew the Steelers were looking for OL help too.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
MarineBuc,
Maybe he’ll live in Pasco County and a full set of teeth is seen as showboating?
April 28th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
Licht with the big ugly! Fired up about Mauch, him and Jensen are gonna be the “Red Tide”, LFG!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
CODY MAUCH!!!! YES!!!! OT!!!! WE WIN!!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
That’s a Licht pick.
Only question is if he can play early or needs a year of seasoning.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
Yeah
April 28th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
@ Geno
What did you expect from the man who drafted Marpet, Cappa and Goedeke…
LOL.
I actually like the pick.
Cody will provide a nice young nasty lineman who will compete for the starting OG spot but also might be able to replace Josh Wells as the swing OT as well…
April 28th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
l approve of this pick
April 28th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
LOVE LOVE LOVE the missing front teeth
April 28th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
Big nasty with an attitude.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
Great pick!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
Looks like Ryan Jensen, hope he plays like Jensen.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
Just had to draft another small school OL. He’s gotta be better than Goedeke,
April 28th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
We got a LT!! So far so good!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
i dont dislike the pick but my boy left his teeth in a cup!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
I like it. Another big nasty.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
The Beef people! More Beef!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
Left or Rt tackle? Is he developmental or plug and play?
April 28th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
He is going to help with Jensen to give them some attitude. He weighs 300 pounds but looks like he can add 20 pounds easily.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:26 pm
Nice!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:26 pm
Aol
April 28th, 2023 at 8:26 pm
Yes! Cody Mauch! Great OL!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:26 pm
He played LT in a run heavy scheme!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:26 pm
@ Rod
O-lineman always take a few years to develop. Even Marpet and Cappa had issues their first few seasons.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:26 pm
I like this pick!!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:26 pm
Licht’s becoming predictable with the small school OL
April 28th, 2023 at 8:26 pm
Licht nails these picks more often than he doesn’t. I think this kid will get after it.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:26 pm
Let’s goooo!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:27 pm
Ali Marpet vibes with the Mauch pick.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:27 pm
Love the pic will be a fan favorite !!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:27 pm
The NFL.com comparison is… Alex Cappa.
I’d be good with that. Only issue is small school guess, unless they’re elite physically, like Marpet, normally need a year to develop.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:27 pm
Bucs are smart to focus on trenches.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:28 pm
Okay…I’m happy with this draft. The only thing that would make it better is a QB, TE, and Center.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:28 pm
Typical Jason move. Small school Guard/OT. I should have guessed something like that…. Lol.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:29 pm
Rod Munch Says:

That’s where Jason Licht finds his OL guys…he’s great at finding them there.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:29 pm
I understand the pick but not the trade up…….Licht must get nervous and pees his pants and has to trade up for these small school olinemen.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:29 pm
No front teeth. Clearly going after the Plant City fan base
April 28th, 2023 at 8:31 pm
Marine Buc.
I am a Buc fan, I will warm up to Cody Mauch.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:32 pm
they just called cody Tud on his hometown draft party feed.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:32 pm
Lots of posters said build trenches. Should be happy group based upon first two picks.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:32 pm
okay, so what’s the Third Round pick? Safety? Corner? Tight End.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:33 pm
@ Geno
Especially if he becomes an All-Pro OG for the next 8 seasons…
LOL.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:33 pm
Next IMO, a nickel corner, LB, or TE. LFG!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:33 pm
Haven’t seen a gap like that in a long time. Maybe Strahan
April 28th, 2023 at 8:34 pm
Feels like another unnecessary trade up for a player that would have been there anyway.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:35 pm
Tampabaybucfan, I get what you are saying but what if the Bucs did not trade up and the Steelers traded down and another team took Mauch or the Steelers stood pat and took him? It was just a 6th round flyer anyhow. Other teams were giving up 4th and 5th round picks to move up a bit earlier in the 2nd round. Packers traded down twice actually. Anyhow the Bucs did have 2 2nd round picks. I am okay with sacrificing one.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:35 pm
all the trade up cost us was one of the three Sixth Rounders, which we could EASILY trade away at this point. This wasn’t like giving up a FOURTH pick to move up to get a kicker a few years back.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:35 pm
Good pick a LEFT tackle!
April 28th, 2023 at 8:36 pm
2 6th round picks, not 2 2nd round picks……
April 28th, 2023 at 8:38 pm
SUMMARY: A three-year starter at North Dakota State, Mauch manned the left tackle position in offensive coordinator Tyler Roehl’s run-heavy, gap-power scheme.
Although he wasn’t often challenged on an island in pass protection, Mauch has the foot quickness and body control to comfortably operate in space and skillfully maneuver from block to block.
Overall, Mauch doesn’t have ideal length or sand in his lower body, but he has outstanding movement skills, fierce handwork and innate competitiveness to become a starter early in his NFL career.
He should get a look at tackle first but also projects well inside, reminiscent of Mitch Morse.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:40 pm
No way they are thinking this guy is the starting LT.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:41 pm
Such a Licht pick Lol
April 28th, 2023 at 8:44 pm
I wonder if they are going to plug this guy inside as a Guard or try him as a Tackle opposite of Wirfs, his profile shouts out versatility but is he a plug and play starter? Seems more likely to plug and play inside than as a tackle…….
April 28th, 2023 at 8:47 pm
As soon as I saw this guy at the senior bowl i knew Licht would be drooling.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:48 pm
Lol
April 28th, 2023 at 8:48 pm
If there were every a prospect that looks like a Jason Licht “type-a-guy”, Cody Mauch could give Ali Marpet a run for his $$$. Good get, now get me a safety or nickel CB wth
April 28th, 2023 at 8:48 pm
He’ll make a solid guard.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:48 pm
Like the bucs draft so far
April 28th, 2023 at 8:48 pm
@ Dooley
Lol All day.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:53 pm
Cody Mauch (High School)
-Finished his career with 1,072 receiving yards and a school-record 24 TDs.
-Set school records for sacks in a season and career
-Basketball all-conference
-All-region standout State qualifier in track
All around solid athlete. Go ahead young Cody
April 28th, 2023 at 8:55 pm
doubt they convert Mauch to Guard seeing as we’re overstocked on Guard already. He may fit well at Right Tackle while Wirfs shifts to Left.
April 28th, 2023 at 8:56 pm
Dammit, Schoonmaker going a lot higher than I thought he would.
April 28th, 2023 at 9:03 pm
Still concerned about his short arms and his upper body strength though.
April 28th, 2023 at 9:12 pm
Licht always takes college tackles, always.
Marpet – tackle
Cappa – tackle
Hainsey – tackle
Luke – tackle
Cody – tackle
Because they played tackle in college doesn’t mean much for their pro position.
And Cody is almost certainly a guard. Being 305lb with a short wingspan, at tackle, would not be good. He fits in perfectly, however, at guard.
Also, while he did go to a small school, his workout numbers are very good, and he can likely play from day 1 — at guard. H
April 28th, 2023 at 9:26 pm
Dammit, Safety Brown is off the board. Who’s left at Safety of any value?
April 28th, 2023 at 9:27 pm
If Mauch isn’t going to go at Tackle, who the hell do we HAVE at Tackle???
April 28th, 2023 at 9:34 pm
Lions building a solid squad
April 28th, 2023 at 9:34 pm
There goes all the Hooker Jokes
April 28th, 2023 at 9:36 pm
Mauch!!!! Yes!!! I fell asleep and just woke up….
April 28th, 2023 at 9:37 pm
Pretty good video on Mauch
April 28th, 2023 at 9:38 pm
seriously, who’s at OT for the Bucs other than Wirfs???
April 28th, 2023 at 9:49 pm
Mauch! Hahahaha, I love it!
April 28th, 2023 at 9:50 pm
I fell asleep and woke up to MAUCH!!! lol, man, what else did I miss…lemme catch up….
April 28th, 2023 at 9:53 pm
Just resign Donovan Smith.
Not that it matters, this isn’t Tom Brady they’re protecting, and the Bucs aren’t going to the playoffs.
If they want to try Cody at tackle, then go ahead, you can always move him inside. But that arm span would be very short for a tackle – and he’d likely need at least 10-15 lbs of muscle. Luke would make a more natural NFL tackle with a slightly larger arm span and is heavier, and did just fine in limited snaps at tackle.
April 28th, 2023 at 9:56 pm
So Washington and Achane are still there….come on now…..
April 28th, 2023 at 9:57 pm
Will Darnell Washington fall to us?
April 28th, 2023 at 9:57 pm
Pats not drafting for offense at all the first three rounds. But wasn’t offense their biggest problem last season???
April 28th, 2023 at 9:58 pm
The word on Darnell Washington is injury concern with a knee. it’s obviously scared the whole draft.
April 28th, 2023 at 9:59 pm
Oh i didnt know
April 28th, 2023 at 9:59 pm
There goes Tucker Kraft
April 28th, 2023 at 10:00 pm
Welp, lets get Achane!! maybe Washington in the 5th
April 28th, 2023 at 10:01 pm
When the Packers are taking Kraft instead of Washington, there is something seriously wrong with Washington. Check the x-rays.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:02 pm
While I don’t think the Bucs need a TE and I wouldn’t take one, I wouldn’t have minded if they got Tucker Kraft. He could be special, but then again he was playing against a bunch of guys who wouldn’t even get an invite to an XFL tryout, so it’s hard to take much from his film.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:02 pm
No on running back, let’s stick with White as RB1. We need Safety above all, maybe inside linebacker…
April 28th, 2023 at 10:03 pm
for Safety, Skinner and Battle both still on the board.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:05 pm
Daiyan Henley ILB – Brooks / David style undersized LB with tons of quickness, excels in coverage…
April 28th, 2023 at 10:06 pm
WE’RE ALMOST ON THE BOARD.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:07 pm
here we go…..
April 28th, 2023 at 10:08 pm
Trenton Simpson LB!!!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 10:08 pm
On the clock ⏰
April 28th, 2023 at 10:10 pm
Ringo please
April 28th, 2023 at 10:10 pm
oof, Titans taking Spears at RB, damn that’s a good pickup.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:11 pm
Trenton!! Fast. Explosive. Can cover. Blitz. Tackle.
Should have gone a lot sooner
April 28th, 2023 at 10:12 pm
DE Diaby
April 28th, 2023 at 10:12 pm
WOW. That’s an edge rusher. I think JTS days are numbered.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:12 pm
Yes!!!!! Holy crap Diaby and Kancey will be a collective shot in the arm for our defensive front
April 28th, 2023 at 10:13 pm
BUCS GO GAGA FOR YAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…
I wanted Safety though.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:13 pm
YaYa to you JTS…
3 picks, 3 starters!!!
April 28th, 2023 at 10:13 pm
…another 4-3 DE.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:13 pm
didnt even have him on my radar lol, ok….
April 28th, 2023 at 10:13 pm
Wow nice pick
April 28th, 2023 at 10:14 pm
You drafted a 4-3 DT, and a 4-3 DE…
I wonder if there’s a trend here.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:15 pm
YaYa Diaby is a Buc.
Bucs defensive front seven receiving fortifications.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:16 pm
Beefing up the trenches, I like it.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:17 pm
Well…either Bowles is getting the majority of picks…or Jason Licht is bringing in a Defensive Head Coach who prefers 4-3 next year.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:17 pm
Diaby RAS score, 9.84
Ranked 23 out of 1614 DE’s since 1987.
Great explosion, elite speed. Wow, ran a 4.51 at 263 pounds, so he could play standing up, but looks to my eye like a classic 4-3 DE.
Regardless, you can’t have enough pass rushers. Dummies saying this means someone else is out, you’re idiots. The team has ZERO depth on the d-line and at edge, you need talent.
Also, defensive lineman and edge rushers generally take at least a year to develop. So you want to have these guy ready for the next coach.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:18 pm
YaYa Diaby is an excellent pick for edge rusher go Bucs!
April 28th, 2023 at 10:18 pm
I wonder if one of these defensive guys is meant to replace Lavante David next year?
April 28th, 2023 at 10:18 pm
I like building the trenches. Wish JTS and Hall showed more. Bet these two are better.

Does Jason watch any college football??
Dude is so stiff and non instinctive
April 28th, 2023 at 10:19 pm
Yaya looks an awful lot like JPP. Let’s hope he plays like him. Great athleticism.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:21 pm
Destin, chances are Jason watches a lot more college football than you do. He didn’t choose him because he thought he’d be a dud.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:21 pm
Next a nickel corner, ILB, or TE.

Clearly Diva white is staying in Tampa after what we have seen with rounds 1-3. He better get prepared to ride his horse into the den of depression and take his 11 million dollars.

And there went Achane 🙁
April 28th, 2023 at 10:23 pm
Achane to the Dolphins, ugh.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:25 pm
YaYa is the starter…JTS is the depth and Shaq is coming off the Achilles. Wonderful pick.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:25 pm
And there goes Simpson…. 🙁

Diaby can line up inside/out on 4 man fronts, and anchor the edge on 3 man fronts and hold his own. Nice addition to the rotation, but I’m still hoping we can get another pick tonight.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:29 pm
Destin how many NFL scouting staffs have you been on? Or teams have you been a GM for? I guarantee Licht and his staff know more and have more information on these players than you do.

Loved this draft so far they said they wanted more juice from the dline and that’s how they drafted.
April 28th, 2023 at 10:38 pm
Well, im almost out….everyone I was pushing is gone except Washington and CB/S Mekhi Garner…maybe both will be there in the 5th….and surely Washington can heal. I mean he looked great at the combine!
April 28th, 2023 at 10:39 pm
Stetson Bennett, almost forgot…with a very late rounder….
April 28th, 2023 at 10:46 pm
I have to say it Good Job Jason Licht!!
April 28th, 2023 at 10:50 pm
And there goes Washington….
April 28th, 2023 at 11:08 pm
Mauch is the perfect pick at that spot . Why? Because he is a great pulling guard /tackle .Very fast for his size . Licht said we must get faster in the trenches . You can tell by the draft that bucs plan to run the ball a lot more this year . Mauch gets to the 2nd level very good . Bucs scouts said they asked every D-lineman at the combine which tackle gave them the hardest time . They kept getting the same answe over and over . Mauch .
Good pick .
