Meh, the Bucs tanked for years (unintentionally) and it didn't do them much good.  They even had the top pick in the draft, drafted a qb, and that qb now plays for New Orleans.  Or I should say occasionally plays for New Orleans.

Bucs will be back to that after Brady retires.

I honestly think it's fool's gold. We've beaten the Falcons (terrible). The Broncos (terrible). The Ravens (reeling, 1-3 over their last 4). The Seahawks (reeling, 2-3 over their past five with all three losses being to teams with losing records).

Even with our offensive game plan entirely built around decreasing Sam Darnold's ability to lose games for us, that multiple turnover game is coming. We all know it.

We lost to the Ravens with Baker stinking it up. But I hear you.

They had to sign a qb in free agency to get a Super Bowl.  

The Bucs are basically us. The only difference is that they actually capitalized on their two shots.

We talk every year about how preseason games can't match the speed and intensity of a regular season game. 

Likewise, regular season games can't match the speed and intensity of a playoff game.

So many of our core guys have never experienced playoff football. Even if we go one and done, the experience our core guys will get will be invaluable moving forward.

Does it mean a later draft pick? Yup. That just means Fitterer has to step up and find great players regardless of where we are picking. That's his job.

You are exactly right

I'm all in because it wouldn't matter if I wasn't. I also realize that this off-season is the key and getting the HC, DC and especially OC correct are going to be the key to success moving forward. It wouldn’t matter if we had the 1st, 2nd and 3rd pick this year with a coach like Rhule at the helm. We have to get this right or it's another 3-5 years of purgatory.

      JOE PERSON: the sense around league circles is Panthers will take Jalon Walker @8

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      Those guys you mentioned are ILB at the next level. They will be really good too. We could use any of them and like you I hope we can get one of them later on in the draft. The teams need on defense is great than the amount of picks they have. If they are sticking with the 3-4 base they will need another ILB and a OLB that can play DE in 4-3 packages. The front 7 is far from complete and the secondary will not get every need addressed this offseason. The talent is just not going to be available when we are picking I'm afraid.

      There are very few players in this draft that don't have a concern that could cause someone to not like them---I think the longer a player hangs around the top 10 (beginning in February) the more their flaws could withstand the scrutiny. Some fall too far, in my opinion, and are thrown into the scratch and dent bin.  Jack Sawyer (Ohio State) comes to mind, Shavon Revel (East Carolina), Restrepo (Miami).  I wonder if it is not that we found things through research, it could be that we exploited trivial things.  You can't measure the "it" factor. Those three just mentioned--I would have no problem drafting them at a discount.  Restrepo ran a 4.8--not as big a deal as people think--he is going to be a chain-moving slot--he will be sliding underneath, finding a hole in the zone, etc.  Great hands, great attitude.  I take him in the fourth.  Jack Sawyer is the high motor over-achiever.  I think he can be a 8-10 sack guy, block a lot of passes, and hold the edge.  I take him in round 3 if they let him fall that far.  Revel could be one of the top 3 CBs--if he is there at 58, I take him.  When the flaw is what you see when you hear their names, you are blind to their other talents.

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By Icege · Posted

      Sims has to do a little outrage marketing to make the engagement numbers go vroom, but there's been a few analysts that have commented on how Walker is ultimately going to be depending on whomever drafts him to properly develop him. Whether that's starting him off of as a rotational edge guy on obvious passing downs or settling him at ILB will be up to whoever ends up with him. A lot of folks like to point out Isaiah Simmons, and as much as I like Isaiah as a Clemson fan he's not the guy that Jalon Walker is between the ears (this isn't to say Isaiah isn't bright, but didn't seem to breathe football like Jalon does). The kid's got a shot; he's just going to need it somewhere that's going to aim first before firing him off.
