I dont see Licht making a splash trade for any of the big pass rushers on the market. Key's DC from his Jags season is the current LBer coach for the Bucs. I think Key could be like the Steve McLendon style trade. Get a solid piece for a very low cost.

i haven't paid attention to how Key has looked this season but I wouldn't be surprised if the Bucs trade for a third edge rusher to come off the bench.  Not sure how the team feels about Braswell but it doesn't seem to be trending in the upward direction so far with him.

he played a lot yesterday and seems maybe to be a special teamer and a decent overall edge (run stopping), but not really a pass rusher.  Could be wrong but that was my impression form first watch.

if they make a move you're probably right that it would be something like this

neither does SR

 

"Licht has never surrendered more than a third-round draft pick for any trade. And that was for pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul in the 2018 offseason when he fleeced the Giants for a Day 2 pick. Every other trade he’s ever done has been for Day 3 picks, so do not expect any blockbuster deals for premier pass rushers that involve first-round picks."

With the Baker extension on the horizon those high draft picks are critical to the Bucs plans.  They need those low cost starters to fill the holes year in and year out.  The way Licht is able to draft it would be a bad move to trade any high picks for high priced vets.   A 4th round pick or later is the most Licht will give up.  If he can use a Day 3 pick to score a serviceable player to be a stopgap at a position decimated by injury that would be something I can see Licht doing.

Braswell is making plays here and there but for a 2nd rounder you expect more impact.

He gets blown up in the run game when they run at him. He's tiny
