Now that we're eliminated we should be drafting around 14-18 if my math is correct. 

We need help in the front 7 above all else.

What do we like in the draft?

Try to trade up for Bain?

Thomas out of Oklahoma?

Bailey out of Texas Tech? (He reminds me of Barrett)

Styles (LB) out of Ohio State?

Uiagalelei out of Oregon?

Who am I forgetting?

We also need a TE, WR, backup QB, safety (move Smith to slot), and offensive line depth

If they bring back this coaching staff, we might as well trade our picks for future year picks

Assuming we don't trade for Crosby and keep our 1st rounder, I would double dip at LB with Styles/Allen and Hill Jr. if they are there.

They're going to want multiple 1sts. 

If you want him, 2027 1st rounder is in play. 

Can't have it both ways, Madden.

Then it’s a no. I’m holding that 2027 #1 in case we need a QB. But I’m confident we can get him without giving up 2027, Spytek will want some of our junk.

It's a long, long slog to draft day when you miss the playoffs. 

I'll start my slog by saying we aren't trading two first round picks and change for Crosby as has been rumored.  He played hurt.  He's expected to be fully healthy, but I'm still a bit reluctant to take on a big contract from a guy who is on the injiury slide of his career.

Ah yes. 

The actual real NFL GM will want the player that the Madden GM calls a bust (Barton) in lieu of a 1st round pick. 

I mean, you wanted to give up multiple 1st rounders for Bradley Chubb; but not for Crosby. 

Good shit.

Bucs are not in position to trade the 2027 #1 because of the QB situation.

Baker is ok for now. They just need to keep him healthy and protected. O line definitely needs help.

Baker is an average QB and a free agent in 2027.

Is that you " Iron Mike " Ditka ?  Sure lets trade away our entire draft(plus a future pick/s) for an aging Edge rusher that probably has 2 good years left....fucking brilliant!  Did we learn nothing from our overpriced FA passrusher this year that people though last year was a fluke....BTW Reddick was 29 when he had his last good year(Crosby turns 28 before the season).

This team had a lot of holes on both sides of the ball this year to go along with the injuries. Specifically:

1. O-Line Guards
2. Defensive Ends
3. Linebackers (all of them)
4. Corner
5. Safeties
6. Everyone on Special Teams

That is a ton of areas to try and fill. I think the team needs to decide what it wants to be first. This team desperately needs some quality Guards on the O-Line. That play was terrible from 6-2 on. The defense has more holes than Swiss cheese. You had guys on that side of the ball wearing "C's" on their uniform that were regularly out of position or whiffing on tackles or too slow to play the game now at the speed it is being played. I think a good portion of that was scheming and game planning but they need upgrades at everything on defense that isn't Defensive Tackles.

With a decent OC and not having an incompetent dipshit HC who knows nothing about offense meddling in that side of the ball; Baker is a Top-10 QB. 

We saw it last year.

If Crosby is on the table, you HAPPILY give them BOTH first rounders.

As long as Licht is the GM we will never trade up, more likely to trade down and draft some player from a DII or DIII school that he thinks he has outsmarted everyone in discovering and will turn out to be a disappointment like 90% of his picks
