Race for the best draft pick starts now...

[Bucs N Beers]

Free Agency and draft. Every resource needs to go to the secondary.

[Morgan]

you wonder if the current coordinators will be here in 2013.

you wonder if the current coordinators will be here in 2013.

I would say yes unless Coach Schiano decides to change his schemes.  No matter who the coordinators are, what schemes are used fall on him.  I can see some position coaches being gone.

Stupid thread. How can you call yourself a fan and say you want the team to win for a better draft pick. That's ridiculous. Plus the draft doesn't guarantee a thing. Hell Mark Barron was the #7 overall pick and he sucks while 2nd round pick Harrison Smith is balling. This isn't Madden. You can't check their game ratings to see how good they are.

I'd be very discouraged if we lost out.

I'm still looking for improvement from a few areas

only a few?

I'm not looking for any CB on the team to improve. They're all 7th round or UDFA guys and I think they're isn't much to work with. I'm also not looking for Foster/David to improve because they've been pretty good. Same goes for Martin, VJax, MW19, and Bennett. I think David/Martin/VJax are all Pro Bowlers and maybe two of them are All Pro.

I'm still looking for more from Freeman and McCoy (consistency), Bowers/Barron (improvement), Sullivan/Sheridan (playcalling)

Our top five pick turned into Mark Barron who has played like absolute crap this season. I don't believe in tanking. I'd still rather win out for team morale more than anything. This team is getting a top 20 pick regardless, and therefore should be in position to draft Dee Milliner or Jon Banks.

Free Agency and draft. Every resource needs to go to the secondary.

I personally wouldn't be opposed to signing Henry Melton in free agency. Dude is a beast and would help our pass rush.

It's much better just to keep crapping out.  The season is over.  Might as well get the higher draft pick. Not sure where this notion came in that garbage victories at the end of the year carry over to next year.  Thats nonsense.  Total nonsense. 

We just need to keep losing out and hope the other teams win.  As for QB....I wouldn't mind drafting the kid Nassib out of Syracuse.  Use a 2nd on him.  He will be the best QB out of this class in my opinion.

[sunrisejeff]

I'm intrigued in Nassib as well. I think he may be there in the 3rd though.

[Morgan]

And I say we blow all the games left. This team is obviously in no shape to compete in the playoffs and we need to add all the talent we can through the draft if we have any hopes of competing next year.

hope you're happy watching the team lose its last six games going into the off season.

I like how fans say we should lose out to get a better draft position! To do what?draft another bust like Barron!

Still An Important Game


It’s the last game for the Bucs tomorrow. There will be no January games. No postseason. Freefalling the past month took care of that.

But don’t dare tell any of the Bucs, much less Greg Schiano, the game Sunday against the Dixie Chicks is not important.

Take Michael Bennett for example. He’s looking to continue his solid season. A free agent in a matter of days, Bennett is looking to cash in big time and a solid game Sunday will only add to his suitors.

“It is important because it is the next game and an opportunity to show the coaching staff what kind of players we have for next year,” Bennett told Joe. “It is definitely a building block game so everybody should play hard no matter what.”

Bennett dismissed any notion that he is looking ahead to hitting the NFL lottery in the coming months.

“I mean, it is just the next game for me,” Bennett said. “I’m trying to do the best I can to try to win. [A new] contract comes when it comes. I’m not worried about that.”
