After giving it a couple of days, Iʻve warmed up to the Bucs draft. Whether I love it will come in time when we see these rookies, but I was in the hate the Kyle Trask pick camp. Even Tryon took time for me to warm up to it, but after a couple of days I think I understand the picks and am somewhat excited to see these players:
Tryon: Has the best teachers in JPP and Shaq who will teach technique to a player with an already relentless motor. Kinda reminds me of a combination of JPPʻs measurables and Shaqʻs rawness coming into the NFL
Trask: Has the best QB camp anyone could ask for with the QB whisperer, Clyde Christensen, Tom Moore, the GOAT, and a QB thats had years of experience in the system in Gabbert
Hainsey: Versatile, can learn behind Cappa and eventually replace him with our OL coaching
Darden: This one made me happy. Doesnʻt have Antonio Brownʻs speed but his twitch and elusiveness remind me very much of AB. If he can learn under AB, work hard, and hit the weights he could be real scary
KJ Britt, Chris Wilcox, Grant Stuard: Our ST was horrible last year, and if Harris from NO wasnʻt injured in the divisional playoffs chances are we lose that game due to horrible ST. The loss of Andrew Adams and Ryan Smith weakened our already pathetic ST so these guys are here solely to strengthen ST play. Hopefully we can have good ST play this year.
I wanted JOK, Jenkins, Trey Smith, and many other players that the Bucs passed on but I think it was a successful draft. Not the flashiest but hopefully with investment it will turn out to be a great draft. Go Bucs!
