Damn. If Skoronski falls to 19…I’d be extremely happy.

I’m not arguing the crazy good value of the Bucs draft as far as the talent received, but we have more pressing needs than a devalued position like RB (as good as he is) and a redshirt QB in the first 2 rounds.

I’m not nuts about the Bucs draft but it’s not the worst I’ve seen either. Average.

With wright and Harrison off the board at 19 I could see us taking a peek at edge. But if we’re going to reach for one I’d rather take a shot at Will McDonald. Though I think both he and ojulari could both be available with a significant trade back.

Not great for the Bucs. We have 5 guys with starting experience in the mix for starting jobs at G. Starting OT is a much bigger pressing need. With a talent like Wright on the board that would be the pick instead. We have two above average starters at CB. Round 2 would be much better served drafting the eventual replacement for David (or White it seems) at ILB. Campbell would be perfect. Another good pick would be edge with FAU.

Move down 7 spots in the first for a measly 4th round pick? With Brian Branch still on the board? I can’t stress “no” enough here.

I think that's a decent list. I think we should be more specific and say "tackle" rather than "OL". Whether we want to move Wirfs over to LT and replace him or just straight out draft a LT remains to be seen. Ali is all pro caliber, Jensen has been very good the last 2 years and IMO Cappa has made a huge leap this year and has arguably been our 2nd best lineman. I think you nailed it with the DL. I may also add a RB to that. I have liked what I've seen from Vaughn, but he's kind of been an afterthought. Who knows how long Fournette and McCoy will be around. RoJo needs a solid running mate who can catch. And at some point we are going to have to address QBOTF. I'd rather get that taken care of while Brady is still in town so he can take whoever that is under his wing.

Packers, Colts, Titans, Browns in that order.

Bucs mock isn't great. DE in the first would be fine, but with Etienne still on the board I think his value is too good to pass on here. As far as WR in round 2, just no. Brady doesn't even throw to the ones we have now. OT to replace Wirfs on the right side (who should slide over to the left side) makes a LOT more sense here.

good for the Bucs

I mean I could see if a team (mistakenly IMO) falls for Fields and Lawrence MAYBE slides to 2...but 6??? 0% chance of that.

As of now, for the first time in a long time, the Bucs are in a position where we can truly take BPA regardless of position. If I HAD TO break down positions that we should be targeting for competition/depth/future, I would say: DL (interior and edge), QBOTF, OL (particularly T), and possibly RB and S. Some positions we should NOT be drafting are WR, TE, and ILB.

I can live with the Bucs pick. Horn is pretty good value here at 31. While we don't really have an immediate need for a front end starter at CB we have a desperate need for depth. Pick him and let the cream rise to the top.

For the Bucs, this draft will be mostly BPA regardless of position. Leatherwood is a good pick in the first. He may start out as a swing tackle or POSSIBLY right guard (though Cappa has been solid) but long term play would likely be RT and moving Wirfs to LT replacing Smith. QBOTF may be a consideration at some point as well as some CB depth. But all in all we will be drafting talent regardless of position.

My "like" was for both the Bucs pick and the comment about the "Redskins". Good job.
