Bucs Scoop Up D-II Guard
April 27th, 2018Bucs fans, you got your offensive lineman.
Lift a glass in celebration.
The Bucs stepped back into the Division-II ranks to draft Alexa Cappa from Humbolt State.
And Mike Mayock is hollering in the background how violent he is.
Joe has to confess he knows nothing of Cappa other than he has a worse mullet than Riley Bullough.

Fix the trenches fix the bucs cool beans

5-Run Homerun?
April 27th, 2018 at 10:51 pm
There’s a chance he plays Tackle too Joe..
Every single year Licht has been in town he has drafted a player from the Senior Bowl. This year this guy was the D2 talk of the town, much like Ali Marpet was a few years ago.

Dude has serious attitude and finishes the play, Donovan Smith could stand to take a lesson, this dude is a good pick
April 27th, 2018 at 10:52 pm
Lot of Marpet comparisons. We traded up for both players too.
April 27th, 2018 at 10:53 pm
Two long haired hippies picked by the Bucs. Far out man.
April 27th, 2018 at 10:54 pm
Great project. Had good Senior Bowl but was dominated by speed rushers. Is a project but really hope this guy pans out
April 27th, 2018 at 10:55 pm
Did we really need to trade up for him? He would have been there 10 picks later. Hope he works out.
April 27th, 2018 at 10:56 pm
Should be able to run at will. Heck, even with Martin…lol.
Looking forward to seeing some smash mouth football in 2018!

this is Mayock talking about him at the senior bowl
April 27th, 2018 at 10:59 pm
Jeremy Trueblood but with the actual ability to play and without all of the stupid holding and personal foul calls.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:00 pm
nove him inside take sweezy spot
April 27th, 2018 at 11:03 pm
This Oline needs some young blood.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:06 pm
We added two Lineman both know for physicality. Gotta love that!!
April 27th, 2018 at 11:07 pm
OK, I just reviewed the full combine numbers of this guy and Marpet and those comparing this guy to Marpet need to get a new comparison, they’re not even close. This guy is in the bottom 2/3rds of nearly every category, meanwhile Marpet was in the top 5 of nearly every category.
I don’t know about this pick, it’s fine to have that tape of you manhandling guys that look like high schoolers, but to make the huge NFL jump you need to have something special about you in terms of your workout. I do worry the Bucs thing they’re getting one over on everyone else because they did it with Marpet, but I don’t know, I hope it works out but I wouldn’t be cutting Sweezy anytime soon.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:08 pm
Bueller yes we did need to trade up for him that’s how you insure you get him. You have to have a gm with big balls that will go get his guy instead of playing it safe and hoping he falls to you. What if he would have got picked one pick before us. All because we didn’t want to trade a 6th round pick. Listening to joes favorite station nfl channel on Sirius all I have been hearing is ex gms talking about players they were one pick from having. If you want something be a man and go get don’t wait for it to come to you if it only takes a little risk of a 6th round pick. Not saying be all crazy like betterbuckinbelieveit was and saying trade are 1st,2nd, 4th, next years 1st, and mcoy for Barkley.

Rod spends too much time munching on garbage. It has corrupted his 2 watt lightbulb brain.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:11 pm
Thespiritof1976 <– triggered. LOL!
Sorry kiddo but being a blind homer is really really really boring.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:11 pm
You may need to Google what a mullet is.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:14 pm
Humbolt State?
April 27th, 2018 at 11:14 pm
His hair is pretty wild, but it’s not a mullet. Not even close.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:17 pm
Joel – Correct, people that think having long hair is a mullet are just annoying.
People, a mullet is when you have long hair in the back and keep it short on the sides and top. Otherwise it’s just called having long hair.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:18 pm
Shaq Griffin tomorrow. The parrot. Witness bucs lore. And Rod probably thinks Alabama are the real national champions.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:18 pm
The Jacks?
Seriously?
April 27th, 2018 at 11:19 pm
Featherly-coiffed, not a short-long.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:24 pm
Rod Gamefilm matters much more then combines.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:26 pm
I with Munch a little bit on this one. I like the idea. We need OL help so he fills a need. However, he looks like a big project. He is not like Marpet in terms of his combine numbers and measurables. Not even really close.
So, not sure moving up for him was a great move. I did wonder if they might have been moving up to take Harrison at S from Alabama which went to Jax the pick before them.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:30 pm
JimmyJack – Sometimes, but game film against what are basically high schoolers isn’t all that telling. I guess he had a good senior bowl week that certainly helps, I just don’t see him as a surefire hit like Marpet was. Marpet was special, his numbers were special, he had a special senior bowl week as well – he was being hyped a ton and was really showing people up at the senior bowl – and again went on to be a star at the combine. This kid isn’t that.
Not rooting against the kid or saying it’s a bust, just saying those penciling him in as a day one starter because Marpet did it… you all need to dial it back a few notches.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:35 pm
Welp correct me if I’m wrong but I seen at least two holds on the tape nfln showed. But wtfdik, tough guys huh I think we should define tough.
April 27th, 2018 at 11:48 pm
News flash: Joe Dirt cut his hair. So sadly, now we have no mullets.
Yes, he cut it a long time ago. Perhaps it’s grown back?–Joe
April 27th, 2018 at 11:57 pm
I don’t care if he is not our starter on Day One!
If he is our starter before the end of the season, well then … 😜

Go Bucs!!!!

I’m thinking Sweezy already gone tomorrow morning probably but if we get a couple tackles for the offensive line tomorrow then we’re set to let Dotson walk as well. Sweezy should just take a buyout honestly but he could be great depth this season and cut for nothing next season. We brought back EDS too so I just really feel either Dotson or Sweezy is about to get cut either this offseason or at the end of the season. We gotta few more picks tomorrow though I think 4 more. Get two Tackles on the offensive line and another DT and DE with those picks. We got our DBs in the second round and we can get a RB as an UDFA like Ito Smith or Ryan Green.

@destinjohnny thx for the video
Humboldt county has the best herb in the world!
Ali Marpet and Alex Kappa- two gangster-a$$ hippies!!
Licht is the man!!
April 28th, 2018 at 2:29 am
Ade Aruna in the 4th!!!
And Shaqueem Griffin in the 5th!
And get a “red-flag” freak athlete in the 6th.
Get some studs who have “character issues” or who drop because of injured senior season.
6th and 7th round picks should be ONLY be great players who drop for weird reasons!
Take risks in the 6ht and 7th!!
