The day is here.

Soon, we will all know who the Buccaneers have taken and can engage in a spirited (but friendly in a sibling kind of way) discussion on how that pick will impact the 2026 season, Bowles' future, and Licht's future.

To quote:

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh LordI've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh LordCan you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh LordOh Lord

I know you all heard that drum beat in your head.

Let's Go Bucs!

I am not sure there is a draft pick that can save Todd Bowles from the pending 6-8 wins that are to follow in the 2026 season

I don't want to fill this thread with too much negativity on Bowles, but i agree with you. I was shocked he managed to survive the end of last season.

I’d like us to go defensive line, edge, or linebacker

Edge isn’t a pressing need.  CB, ILB, and DL.  I think we try like hell to move out of this pick but either way, I think we get CJ ALlen from UGA.

Hoping we go BPA. 

Assuming we don’t move, that should mean one of top OT prospects we can kick inside.

I always say best player available but I would also say a pick that builds up the oline or dline is never a bad way to go too.

Licht likes to focus on the lines in round 1 unless a phenomenal skill player falls into his lap.

Vega or Fano please 

Be a run first team. Make Barton fight to keep his starting role.

Do you take a shot every time you say something like this?

Yeah I've come around to a true BPA approach... I want front 7 but I really want difference makers

I am just glad that teams only have 8 minutes to make their selection in the first round. That is down from 10 minutes. Now if Kiper came up with a 3 day laryngitis, my day would be made.

I wish I could get paid that well to be confidently wrong all the time. It's like JC but without the payment part.
