I think the team needs a WR or better TE in rnd 3-5.

I don't think Bisontis makes it to Tampa's pick. But one of the linebacking trio of Jacob Rodriguez, Anthony Hill Jr., or CJ Allen should. Either of those guys would be good R2 picks. If Howell or Young drop, they are definitely good R2 picks.

Just let the draft come to you and stick to your board. It certainly worked out in R1.

For round two:

Jacob Rodriguez or Jake Golday or CJ Allen?

I think I would rank them in that order? What about you guys?

RD2 - BPA

RD3 - BPA 

RD4 - BPA

RD5 - BPA

RD6 - BPA

RD7 - BPA

Don’t force anything. We have plenty of needs, so they’ll more than likely intersect. 

Hopefully, a good IOL or ILB is BPA available in the 2nd or 3rd. 

Wouldn’t hate an X receiver, as there might be one or two available in the 2nd.

For the gurus on the Red Board, who is the best CB available? I'm hoping we get an ILB in the 2nd round, but I'm leaning to a CB in the 3rd round if there is one worth the pick...

Jermod McCoy. He would have been a top 15 pick, if not for him coming off of an injury.

I'm all for BPA but we need to tilt a little toward need after getting Bain on the edge.

Howell would be intriguing as well but I'm all in on one of the 3 LBs.

Giants are loaded at edge so I'd kick those tires as well.

I don't want a TE. We just signed Otton. None of these TEs are difference makers imo. 

Canady imo is a good value for depth at safety and slot in the 4th or 5th.

I'm a huge fan of the drafting CBs late. They provide great depth and upside, can typically plan ST, and the value is strong.

I'm also a fan of grabbing a WR than can play ST.

I'm also a fan of a project QB.

I don’t think that’s the case. We have plenty of needs. 

Again, don’t force it. Let the board come to you, as there’s a good chance BPA will intersect. 

We saw it play out perfectly last night.

What is everyone’s infatuation with drafting a late round TE? Call me crazy but I don’t think improving our #3 TE is going to make any difference in this team. Seems like a complete waste to me. 

other than a backup Guard, we need all we can get for this defense.

Obviously one of the picks will be ILB.   But if JRod and CJ are gone they should look elsewhere in Round 2. 

 I would put DT as the top position that they'll be looking at.  Don't expect McDonald to fall, but Lee Hunter is on the Bucs radar according to PR. You can't draft a 4th rounder and coach him up to be an eventual replacement for Vita Vea. Of course Vea was picked in the top half of the first round and you won't get an equal player.  But you can get a big run stopper who can fill out that position without turning the middle of the line into Grand Central Station.    

CB is supposed to be deep, and the Bucs like getting their CBs on Day 2.  You can never have enough.   

OG - Bigger need than they want to admit.  Bisontes would be a good choice if he's there at 46.

TE - Is there a difference maker TE in Round 2 or 3?  I'm not sure they aren't just as well off waiting until round 4 or 5 to draft another serviceable TE.  

 

The trade down that didn't happen in Round 1 could happen in Round 2, because if CJ and JRod are gone and they aren't super enamoured with the DT choices they could probably score a good LB at the end of the 2nd early 3rd.  and pick up another draft pick.

We already have a backup guard. 

His name is Bredeson.

True but I wouldn't bank on that. Hopefully one of the big 3 LB are there in round 2.

But generally I agree we have plenty of holes so just get really good impact players

I'm 100% with you on TE. We have 3 TEs that are all JAGs.

I disagree on backup guard or tackle. We need depth.
