compliments of NFL.com...

Work to do: The Bucs had a nice draft with defensive ends Adrian Clayborn and Da'Quan Bowers. If the front four grows up quickly and young offensive players from last season -- LeGarrette Blount and Mike Williams -- stay hungry, the Bucs might win the division behind QB Josh Freeman. Carolina will be better than the two-win team from last season. Still, the Panthers might be a season or two away from holding their own against the other three, mainly because of the inexperience at quarterback.

lol I'm sorry but I can't see the Bucs replicating their 2010 season. Freeman is a stud but so many of their players played above their heads last year and I see them finishing 3rd at best(keep in mind I still think we'll finish 4th, but with a 6-10/7-9 record)

I like the Bucs...I like Freeman as much as any young QB in the league and HOPE that Cam is as good as he was in his first year.

Let them keep doubting us. It will make us that much more deadly and no one will see it coming. People underestimating us oughta give us a couple of winning games don't ya think?

What exactly have we proven? QB is still the biggest question mark on this team.

You do realize that if they get third, they'd be replicating their position from last year in the division? <: But yeah, I agree, for the most part. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bucs were able to achieve 10-5 this year, although I haven't really taken a look at their games for this year. :\

We haven't proven anything yet but I like our chances in light of our ultimate lineup of weapons. If our defense is going to be as good as expected, our running game alone should keep us in the game. I'm not saying that we are going to the Playoffs (although that would be nice), we're going do alot better than 4 wins like everyone is predicting. I think we will at least have six wins but hey, I'm optimistic.

The NFC South is a fickle bitch who knows what anyone is going to do at this point really. The only things that are certain is that the Saints and Falcons will probably be competing for first place but sometimes things don't turn out the way that seems most likely.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
