Grok Says…
April 20th, 2025
More artificial intelligence.
Not Gronk, Grok!
Joe thought it was clever of the stenographers at Gannett to have ChatGPT pick the first round the draft, which begins Thursday night. So Joe decided to take this AI thing a step further.
Joe consulted Elon Musk’s Grok AI tool to see who the Bucs will pick. Per Grok, it sifted through information from all kinds of sources to include, per the software, “current team needs, top prospects, and expert analyses from sources like NFL.com, ESPN, and PFF … insights from mock drafts and prospect rankings to align with team strategies and player evaluations.”
So the “intelligence” of Grok says the Bucs will select South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
Tampa adds Emmanwori, a versatile safety, to pair with Antoine Winfield Jr., creating a dynamic secondary.
Grok isn’t exactly dumb. Safety could be a sound pick. In fact, other than inside linebacker, one could argue safety is the biggest need.
Quick, who will be the starting safety next to Antoine Winfield? Todd Bowles has talked about Tykee Smith possibly moving there. But Smith, entering his second season with the Bucs and the NFL, was drafted to be a nickel corner. He started just six games last year.
Now the Bucs are going to flip him to safety as the full-time starter? Joe isn’t sure about that.
Could South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori's versatility lead to him going in the first round? @movethesticks thinks so. 👀@Eman7Nick | @GamecockFB

Eff Elon Musk and everything associated with him. I can’t imagine a more t0xic combination than Musk and AI.

GROK thinks exactly like I do!!!! This is the message I dropped in the comments earlier today on the Ira Kaufmann podcast!!!
Ira said Malaki Starks and I said hell no, wrong safety!!!
It’s gonna be Emmanwori !!! Todd Bowles would have a blast with this guy!
Best RAS score of all time in the NFL for the safety position!!
Dude is a MONSTER!!
Cam Chancellor 2.0 BUT WITH 4.38 SPEED!!

Not going to happen. He’s overrated and doesn’t fit Bowles system. I’ll go are far to say Jason have Starks, Makuba and Watts above him. I probably will draft a versatile nickle/Saftey but it won’t be Nuck E. I will come back and eat crow if I’m wrong but I really doubt it will happen.

I’ll even predict that he will fall and be passed over by the Bucs. If someone 1-18 picks him I will celebrate like it’s a Qb, OT, RB or any other position/player we are not going to draft. It just drops down another player they have interest in.

Can this Emmanwori play Outside Corner? Who is going to be the other starting CB after Jamel Dean gets his feelings hurt? If CB isn’t the biggest need for the Bucs brass and they’ve already forgotten how it went last year, history will repeat itself.
