Bucs got better today. Nothing to laugh about there. We got better too with Kuechly but we are still a few pieces away. (Some of those pieces could be found in the next few rounds).

I agree, but was glad to see the Bucs not get Trent Richardson or Morris Claiborne. Barron will be good. Martin will be good, but I wasnt looking forward to Mo Claiborne on the Bucs for the next decade. Whew.

That's exactly how I feel. Claiborne or Richardson. I'd much rather our guys have to tackle Martin than Richardson and I'd much rather Cam and our receivers have to face Barron than Claiborne.

Can't you two homos just fug and make up?

Seriously... talk about football, not each other children. It's really old.

I do enjoy laughing at the Bucs... I think they made a mistake, but it's hard to tell until they start playing. I'm just glad they didn't draft Richardson, as I think he would have eat our current Dline alive.

Passing on Claiborne is a risky move by the Bucs. But, they got two very good players and definitely improved their team. Add these to (great Safety and damn good RB) to what they did in th offseason and they significantly improved.

I still hate them....but not with complete blinders on.

What I wanna know is, who the hell is Mark Barron? How come I didn't hear about him until yesterday?

The Bucs really wanted Trent Richardson, and they lost him. They traded down hoping they could still get Claiborne, hoping they could pull off a win-win, and they failed again. Then they traded back into the first to get a running back of all positions because they were so salty. This is funny. I like this.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
