personally, i hope that the bucs do everything exactly the same this year. easier to figure out and stop.

As long as Leftwich is calling plays, I wouldn't count on that kind of continuity. He may be the best offensive playcaller in the business right now. Definitely top 5. They literally made a mockery of the World Champions' defense.

I'm glad we invested a late round pick to get the best collegiate long snapper. I get why everyone is joking about it, but it's just due to their outmoded thinking. We need to hit a homerun on JJ Jansen's replacement. We've been spoiled for over a decade, and long snapper isn't something you can just sign a guy off the street for if you want anywhere near the continuity/performance we've enjoyed.  

The Carolina coaching staff worked with Alabama LS Thomas Fletcher at the Senior Bowl.  So they were confident in his ability and that he'd be a good fit with the team.   

Another LS was chosen 3 picks later so it wasn't too early to get one.   Especially one you're sure about.

It’s possible but realistically I’d expect 3 or 4 to see significant time. Maybe we got steals in day 3, but it’s rare that day 3 guys contribute a lot or at all. It would be shocking and game changing if 7 or 8 players see significant playing time not due to “having” to be on field due to injuries.

I’m also not counting a LS. It’ll be nice if he takes over and doesn’t suck but we aren’t getting better just cheaper.

Horn is a day one starter

Marshall #3 WR

Christensen Starting LT 

Tremble will see significant playing time as a FB and TE and maybe HB

Hubbard will see the field giving CMC a blow

Nixon the reigning Big 10 DPOY will at minimum be in the DT rotation.  I don't see him starting but will see time at DT.  DT is a position were we rotate players all the time.  He'll see significant playing time.

Taylor is a wild card.  He may be a bust or may be a steal.  Honestly I don't know enough about him to be confident one way or the other.   We'll see after we start workouts what his ceiling in year one will be.

Brown impressed Rhule in the Senior Bowl and will most likely start the season as a backup but as every season we'll have a O-line injury and he'll be ready to come in and start.  What I will say that may make him a bust is that he cannot keep his weight down.  I am sure the teams Nutritionist will be his best friend. 

Smith will have a chance to start as our PR specialist and get opportunities as the #4 WR.  He may not see a lot of time but he'll have a decent stat line.  He will also be in a position to move to the #3 spot when we let Anderson walk after 2021.

Fletcher and Hoskins along with Taylor are the ones who I am not counting on to do much. 

How you figure only 3 to 4 really boggles my mind.  Each of the players that we drafted are in the position of need and really have a great chance to make the team. 

I respect your opinion and I am sure you think I am a homer but I honestly believe this was a grand slam draft. In a couple of years will be the draft we point to as the one where we turned the corner to be a perennial winning team.

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
