The guy who first reported DeSean Jackson could get released last year is "becoming more and more convinced daily that the Eagles are trading up to #1 prior to the draft." Still seems unlikely to me as they would probably be able to get Mariota if they traded up to 6 as none of the teams after the Bucs until the Jets seem to be in the market for a QB early, and the Jets could probably use the picks. But, the question must be asked...

 

Which would you rather have happen?

 

1. Bucs draft Winston #1 overall.

 

2. Bucs get a ton of picks and Foles from the Eagles, but no Winston.

I am not trying to be flippant when I say this, but I could care less.  No one has a crystal ball. Winston could be great, or he could suck. The same goes for any picks that they would acquire.  As long as we take care of our business, that's all I am really concerned with.  As for draft picks who haven't established themselves, anything can and does happen.  G-man does give me a sense of security however.

I don't think the Bucs will do it. When you have a chance to take a franchise QB, you take it. Winston looks like he could be the real deal. Even if he flops, they have to take that chance. Who knows when they'll get the chance again.

What if they view Foles as a franchise QB?

I agree with top dawg.

We went toe to toe with the NFC champion Seahawks, and I feel like we were at the time like 40% what we can be when Gettleman maxes out this team in a few years, having his finger print the only one found..

I like what we are doing and Im confident we can beat anyone real soon.

Plus the Bucs have the #1 pick for a reason. I dont care who they get or how many, they have a long way to go.

Rams got a shitload of picks, and have they even been above .500? Sure they dont have a QB but still. They had a goldmine of picks, early pics in that draft.

poo teams will be poo

Bucs probably should take the picks and Foles if that is the deal, but they won't.  I'd honestly rather them draft Winston (who though he has the tools, is an unknown), than get a competent, proven QB and a treasure trove of picks. 

 

Mariotta will be picked in the 4-6 range, the Eagles or a surprise team will trade up for him.

You are talking about Lovie Smith now.

 

When is the last time you have known Lovie Smith to draft a QB in the first 3 rounds of the draft? Never.

 

Lovie Smith does not like breaking in rookie QBs. He detests it. Just like John Fox.

 

Lovie Smith passed on Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco with the Bears. He passed on drafting a QB last year in favor of a journeyman for the Bucs. Instead he has a history of trading for QBs he has seen against NFL defenses like Cutler and McCown.

 

Would not be the least bit surprised if he collects picks for defense, OL, and running backs as has been his history.

 

If Lovie sticks with the 1st pick in the draft and does not trade it, then he goes Leonard Williams DE.

If it's true it could be a bigger steal for Tampa than the Walker to Minnesota trade or for the kids RG3 to the Redskins. But I think Chip Kelly's ego is too big and it'll be a blunder.

Anyone else think Kelly is bending the rules a little by having a fast snap count knowing the speaker in the QB helmet doesn't turn off until the play clock hits 15 seconds?

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
