What round is the TT LB going (Rodriguez)?
I feel like TT and Indiana have a boat load of great day 2/3 prospects.
Grab DE in the first then LB in the second.
We don't need corners, especially if we move Smith to the slot. We need a coverage safety.
Winfield needs to step it up or we might consider trading him while his perceived value is still high.
Load the trenches per usual. Take a backup QB late.
Bucs are the 14th pick. Falcons got tie breaker over is for 13.
Had we lost we'd have been 7-10 and been the 10th pick.
Worst of both worlds..sick
Bucs need another edge opposite of Diaby.
A new ILB or two.
Another boundary CB opposite of Parrish/Morrison/McCollum. Lets them compete and pick the best two to start.
I would not throw any more draft picks at the NCB position until boundary CB is sorted. Izien/T. Smith/UFA is enough to fill here.
Add another young DL to add to the rotation.
On offense Bucs need a playmaking TE, another guard and maybe another RB.
All doable in one off season. Problem is what do the Bucs do with the current free agents that are up next off season.

Not gonna happen this year unless it's via FA. We can't afford to take a TE with first or second pick.

I know it's probably a pipe dream, but I'd love for the team to grab Kyle Pitts during FA (provided ATL doesn't use the franchise tag on him, which with a new coach could go either way). I'd also like another early-ish round big bodied reciever for Mike to be able to keep the linage going of VJ/Evans/rookie, and show them the ropes for a year or two however much longer he keeps playing.

A reliable tight end target would be great.
Speaking of other players from the division who would be great if in another dimension where you could snag division players is the wr McMillan he looks like a carbon copy of Evans physically at least. Doesn't mean he's going to have close to the career but when he was standing next to Mike after the game I was thinking if he's smart he's asking Mike to mentor him a bit lol.
Bucs need to deck out the front 7. TE is a need too but Licht for what ever reason is dedicated to drafted Udub TEs.

agreed that’s why I suggested Pitts in FA. He’d bring a speedy pass catching dynamic to hopefully pair with Evans,Godwin,Ebuka, and Bucky…that’s a lot of firepower and mismatches (provided you have someone that can actually utilize them). Not sure who you double cover in that situation
Best EDGE or Sonny Styles at pick 15
The way this season ended has given me pause to trading away draft capital
if we were 11-6 and bounced in first round, I’d argue time for a max crosby impact player
but an 8-9 collapse due to primarily baker mayfield demise, poor offensive play calling, poor defensive play calling and poor defense in general, this team looks further away from finding for a Super Bowl
crazy the difference what a handful of games makes but those losses to under .500 teams to end the year was pretty fucking bad

The way he finished he will get paid bigly by someone desperate.
Isn't Isaiah Likely a FA? Something like that

What's even crazier is without Baker early magic we might have 4 or 5 wins
Ravens at 14 and we got bumped to 15 because Loop missed that FG.
Because we had a harder schedule... Fucking hate that rule

yeah we've had maybe 2 solid wins - the Seahawks game in which a ball bounced our way and the 49ers game.
Our last 3 wins were uninspiring - Saints, Cardinals, and Panthers - to say the least.
Our first 3 wins were "okay" but we should have saw the signs when the Jets almost beat us on a blocked field goal attempt.
Baker was no doubt playing at an MVP level at our 5-1 start; but he turned into a pumpkin the last 2 months and quite frankly, if 2026 is a repeat of 2025 for him, he may be out of a starting job come 2027.
that's why it's so important they get the coaching hires right and it's mind boggling that they've seen what Baker can do with an offensive mind and yet will run it back with a defensive coordinator who isn't even good at that. Mind boggling
Best available at Edge and ILB. In that order, too.
