Still living off the Sean Tucker fluke game huh? Need I remind you the Saints gave up 380 yards per GAME that same year?The games were we were able to rush for 100+ yards on the ground. The games were he was pushing guys around, climbing to the second level, pulling and being a force as a run blocker. Doing things Hainsley could dream of. What were you watching?Pick 26, that's a late first round. I have no problems drafting a quality player on the OL that late. Barton is an excellent athlete and a good football player who can literally play every position if needed. Guy did a tremendous job playing LT even though he looked awkward and out of position. Then we asked him to play inside and he looked very rusty.
He was brilliant his rookie year and had a weird sophomore year. He is far from a concern at this point, at least he doesn't miss games and offers versatility.
The Logan Hall pick, Kancey being always hurt, etc..are bigger issues
What games are you people watching?
When Barton missed a game the Bucs ran for 277 yards. Checkmate to everything you just posted.
Congrats, the Bucs were able to cash in on a historical bad run defense without one of their main starters........
There’s no guarantee someone would have traded their pick.
While this is technically true it is a reasonable assumption. He traded up one spot to get Wirfs. He's traded back and up multiple times.
Many teams are open to trading back so it's a REASONABLE ASSUMPTION that he could have done it if he wanted to.
The issue isn't JUST that he could have traded up but that he ALSO traded for a backup QB who is no longer in the league from a college that has NEVER produced an NFL starting QB. Every. Not fucking one of any status or long-term success. Tebow is the best Florida QB and he was a RB.
The Trask pick was so fucking atrocious even if you take out the fact we had Brady and were playing for a repeat.
Humphries was right there... Trade up 5 picks and give up your 4th or 5th.
Don't draft shitty QBs to backup the goat when you're trying to repeat from a college that cannot produce NFL QB talent. And don't take QBs in the 2nd round... Almost all of them flop.
Just imagine if we took Humphreys back in 21 instead of that bust Joe Tryon or traded up a couple spots in RD 2 to grab him before the Chiefs did instead of him drafting another bust in Brady's suppose heir apparent Kyle Trask. Since 2020 Licht has drafted zero pro bowlers and signed 1 in Baker yet there are ppl on this site who will die on the hill he is a top 5 GM
I can't decide which pick I hate more:
Aguayo or Trask... I'm gonna say Trask because there was zero need but it's close
