So as it stands right now, our starting OLBs will be Yaya Diaby and Anthony Nelson or Chris Braswell. Muhammad isn’t an every down OLB. He will mainly play in passing down situations. We’re going backwards from last year. And Faulk or anyone else we get in the draft won’t be starting this year.
I get your overall point, but the Bucs defensive front 7 issues in 2025 related mostly to a lack of passing down pressure (ie they did okay against the run). In terms of passing down pressure their 2026 team should have multiple new players from the 2025 front. Walker and Kancey, a draft pick, Muhammad, and Anzalone (blitzing).
Again, point taken. Not the same as a big name like Crosby, but still a different pressure group than 2025. Hopefully better, if they can all stay healthy.
The real question will be can they stop RBs in the flat, TEs underneath etc?

Ourlads has Muhammad and Diaby as the starters.
Bucs need a 3rd rusher off the bench and Walker can be your 4th with Nelson as the 5/special teams ace.
