Garbage Time Buccaneers

@Nrod330 @SaltyBuc91 I have enough faith that I’m comfortable with where we stand now going into the draft and think that if we can address pass rush, and off ball LB while adding secondary and trench depth on both sides, we could be a pretty competitive team again.

@GarbageTimeBucs @SaltyBuc91 McCollum went from “pretty good” to pretty bad in just one year. Morrison showed flashes but couldn’t stay healthy or consistent. Dean was our best guy. And how are you so confident with Jason’s drafting if he sucks at drafting defense 😭

Unless Jason Licht absolutely obliterates the draft with starting/2nd string caliber defensive players— this Bucs team isn’t winning more than 8 games. Doubt they can even win 7.

@Nrod330 @SaltyBuc91 I don’t think McCollum was pretty bad last season, he just wasn’t where he was prior, but we also lacked a pass rush which is always going to hurt a secondary. Morrison had consistency issues, yes - but he was also a rookie and CB is one of the hardest positions as a rookie.

@Nrod330 @SaltyBuc91 I’m not sure that you understood/read my comment correctly, hopefully my response helped clear it up. Thanks for interacting!

@GarbageTimeBucs @SaltyBuc91 “Yet to see the draft” dint we just draft 2 corners last year?? Learn ball

@surfrenegade Could always use more of that!!

@GarbageTimeBucs Hes gonna be a UDFA. But he's a hard hitting LB from Iowa who would be a menace at special teams

Jordan Van Den Berg is another prospect that I absolutely love the idea of drafting. He projects as a 3 tech but also has the ability to sometimes slide into a 1/2 role. Van Den Berg is an athletic freak and would slide into this Tampa D line nicely.

NEWS: This week the Buccaneers will be hosting @GeorgiaFootball TE Oscar Delp for an official top-30 visit, per @RapSheet. 👀 Delp is seeing his draft stock rise and is currently projected to be a 3rd round pick by NFL Mock Draft Database. #WeAreTheKrewe

@surfrenegade I haven’t done enough homework on Sharar - I’ll have to check him out.

@GarbageTimeBucs I think he actually will go undrafted. But the Bucs are one of the best teams out there at getting UDFAs. I have him on my list of potential guys alongside Iowa linebacker Karson Sharar right now.

@SaltyBuc91 Don’t agree with the corners, and we’ve yet to see the draft. Also, the offense when healthy should be able to hang in some shootouts. I think they’ll be a little more fun than you’re predicting

@GarbageTimeBucs And why would that happen? The defense fucking sucks. We have no linebackers or elite pass rushers. And all of our corners are bums.

@surfrenegade I know Allar will likely go mid rounds, that’s why he wasn’t the selection here, but as far as them not drafting a backup/developmental QB - I wouldn’t bet the house on it.

@GarbageTimeBucs Allar will be drafted in mid rounds. They could get a UDFA, but they won't draft one

Here’s another Buccaneers mock draft Monday! Obviously, Delp is someone I’ve been high on consistently, but I also love the value in Elarms-Orr and Regis here. Rodriguez at 46 would be nice, but it’s just hard to tell at this point where he’ll fall.

@surfrenegade Very fair point, Mesidor is a great player - his injury history and age are the big concerns. As far as Altmeyer, the Bucs have just been doing their homework on QB and I think they’re more likely to draft one late than grab a UDFA. Altmeyer and Allar are the two most likely imo.

@GarbageTimeBucs I've been looking into the league around Rodriguez, and there is actually at this point more chance Mesidor makes it to 46 than Rodriguez does.. I like the other pics too, but the Altmeyer pick was a waste when we couldve gotten a safety or WR with that

@surfrenegade @LukeEasterling I’d consider the 4th the beginning of the late rounds, and would’ve absolutely happy taking him there. Middle to late would’ve been better phrasing on my end, but I’d be shocked to see him go round 2 and definitely wouldn’t love to see Tampa select him there.

@GarbageTimeBucs He's not making it to late rounds. Forget what PFF says. Oscar Delp's absolute floor is the 4th round. Could go as high as the second. @LukeEasterling knows this to be true.

The more time that passes, the more I really love the idea of selecting Oscar Delp in the late rounds after the defense is addressed. He translates so much better to the NFL than the CFB and would be quite the athlete to add to this Tampa TE room.

@SleeperTBBUCS Not too sold on this one

The Buccaneers trade down and then select Cashius Howell 💪 #WeAreTheKrewe

After this point in the season, it just feels like it all went wrong, but for just a moment there - we were on top of the football world.

@TheSamerAli Way back when, he WAS the passer 😂

Does he rush the passer?

Absolutely true. Last season, an abundance of injuries and poor play calling really hampered this team on both sides of the ball. Hopefully improvements next season in both of those fields will see Baker return near to his 2024 form and Egbuka take the true WR1 jump.

The #Buccaneers are signing DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches to a 1 year deal. Welcome back, Nacho!
