The 2024 Draft some big talent and big-time potential to the roster. Duke's Barton was the centerpiece of it all.

To pass the time until the Draft starts, search "Vita Vea Derwin James Draft 2018" for general entertainment and a reminder that mock drafts are actual mockeries of the Draft.

The reactions to the pick are hilariously insane.

Just sitting here thinking about when I proposed the should let Chris Godwin test free agency after his knee injury to see what the Team could get via comp picks using the Kwon Alexander situation as a reference.

So few got it.
UNTIL NOW.

Long-term financial planning vs feelings.
I tried to tell 'em.

Annual reminder that reported draft visits don't really amount to much.

BUCS Franchise WR Mike Evans never had a visit with the team during the draft process.

Looking back at Jason Licht's Draft picks from the BIG 10.

At least two potential franchise cornerstones have been found so far..

BUCS GM once played in the BIG 10 as a linebacker. How has his conference affiliation affected his draft picks and how have they turned out?

Remember when PFF told y'all that Ryan Neal was the 4th-highest ranked Safety in Free Agency last season because of a few games in 2022??

26/03/2024

Todd Bowles on whether or not other teams being picked as favorites to win the NFC South despite the BUCS being back-to-back-to-back champions of the division.

Back Like He Never Left....

1yr Deal Up To $10M.

11/03/2024

This is already shaping up to be Jason Licht's most interesting offseason regarding real decision-making and team-building.

11/03/2024

I'm ALL ABOUT less expensive contracts.
However, the BUCS did just trade away the best cover corner the team has had in over a decade.

Need a new CB1.
And I don't know that he's on the roster just yet.

That 3rd Round Draft pick, though....

11/03/2024

Not the biggest fan of the commitment to Mayfield after such a short stint of above-average play last season.

But if he somehow improves, and it helps get the Buccaneers more wins, I'll celebrate it.

Skeptic.
Not pessimistic.

Facts + Context

Everything else is either a lack of knowledge or an intentional lie.

Serious business.

STOP PLAYING!!
KEEP MIKE EVANS IN TAMPA.

17/02/2024

With just two days left to lock up Mike Evans with an extension to over $7M in 2024 cap space, here's a look at how the Glazer ownership has handled some of its biggest stars and how it could affect their biggest offensive star in BUCS history.

Originally written 9/23.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers star wide receiver wants to be in Tampa for the duration of his career. But is ownership in the way of contract negotiations?

16/02/2024

Bring Jordan Whitehead back to Tampa.

Whitehead's contract with the JETS was voided today.

Dude was a killer for the BUCS.

13/02/2024

I'm really hoping all of this recent Baker Mayfield publicity will lead other teams to be interested in paying him relatively big money.

I'd take that comp pick next year.
