2024 post-draft sentiment
Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
A+
One of the most top heavy drafts in history and we chose to sign Baker Mayfield and compete in 2023 instead of reloading in 2024. So we picked at 26 and we got a blue chip Center.
Then the rest of the talent got drafted before our next pick and we took a bunch of lottery ticket players.
What else did people expect?

I don’t know if I would actually characterize them as lottery ticket type players. I see a limited ceiling for many of them.

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
Despite the fact that this team was one of the last eight standing, they had a lot of holes to fill. Every pick was an attempt to fill one of those holes except the RB from Oregon.
Very good draft. Let's see how Licht does with the UDFAs

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
This is the type of draft you'd put together if your roster didn't have a ton of holes.
We came into this draft with more question marks on the roster than we've had in a very long time. Quite a few guys we moved on from with no real solution in sight. Just guys who haven't shown much but will be handed a role whether they are ready or not. A number of spots with incumbents who we should be trying to replace but don't have a choice because of various reasons.
Coming into the draft, the major needs were C, G, EDGE, ILB, CB, DE. Coming out of the draft, C was addressed beautifully. EDGE, maybe depending on where Braswell is in his development. Maybe a 6th round pick can earn a starting job at G but I doubt it.
We HOPE Logan Hall doesn't have a 3rd straight year of regression. We HOPE Zyon McCollum can replace Carlton Davis and we also HOPE he or Dean don't get injured because we don't have anyone else at corner who can play outside. We HOPE KJ Britt improves in his contract year or we HOPE Sirvocea Dennis does something. We HOPE LG gets figured out. We HOPE Cody Mauch improves at a position he's not really a fit for. Just a lot more questions now than you'd expect coming out of the draft.
We know it's not realistic that all draft picks make the final 53. So hopefully the UDFA period yields one of those hidden gems. But again that's a HOPE.

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
OBP is very happy with their draft and so am I. Not gonna lie, I would've gone in a different direction on multiple picks but the guys they did pick weren't far behind alternative picks for me. Sucks seeing Eagles get all my crushes though.
Some I didn't know much of, like the Washington WR or Georgia DB, but I absolutely love what I've seen looking them up. More than anything you see a really strong thread of dudes who aren't afraid to put in the work and compete. Who take pride in their crafts.

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
Cautiously optimistic
The first rounder feels like a pretty safe bet, which is nice. Something went very wrong if he’s not a day one contributor.
Hopefully a few of the other guys can at least flash for us next year.

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
We could've traded up into the top 10 for a kicker in round 1 and given up our 2nd this year and 1st next year, Doc would've been "happy" with the draft.

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
We might get some low hanging fruit from last year but the problem is (and it always turns out that way) we have to wait for the final cuts and they miss our camp.

It ain't easy picking the bottom half of the draft. Successful franchises who pick the bottom half and stay relevant hit on these pick, so have to hope ours did.

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
A true evaluation of the draft picks can't be made until at least the season starts. And it is not just the draft picks, but all the moves made in the off season. For it to be a successful off-season Barton has to play better than Hainsey, Mauch has to improve and either the 6th round pick Klien or some of the off-season Guard signings have to make the offensive line much improved. The Bucs had the worst run game for the last 2 seasons. That was on poor offensive line play. Unless the line play is much better next year, the Bucs will once again be one dimensional.
Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
The Eagles, Cardinals, and Bears have a good draft damn. . Barton is the only one I like from all the Bucs' draft this year.
Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
My snap reaction is it feels like Licht has stayed with the consensus board this year more so than previous years. I feel similar or slightly better to how I felt about this years crop. Last year turned out better than expected due to Kancey squashing any size concerns and Diaby coming on faster than expected as a very raw prospect. Izien come in as an UDFA to boost the crop also.
Barton feels safer than the boom or bust Kancey, McMillan you can't really find anything bad on him and even some have said a value pick.. I feel like I know what we will get from Barton and McMillan. Tykee Smith from all I read and heard seems a safe nickel slot selection. Again, nothing amazing but can be a solid starter. The draft's success will come down to the upside of Braswell and Bucky Irving.
Braswell I am really unsure on. Very stiff in the hips and bend concerns. Premium pick spent there so he needs to work out. My immediate concern is the front office was high on Kneeland and immediately panicked when he was snapped up 1 pick earlier. That panic turned to picking the next best edge instead of the next best player. Kneeland was mocked and linked to the Bucs a lot.
Bucky is a 5'9 190 pound RB with 4.55 speed. I mean, the measurables are a worry immediately. The film and grades are good and he was mostly mocked in the 4th to 5th round. I am very unsure of his fit and if the breaking/avoiding tackles trait he has translates vs way better NFL athletes. If it doesn't, he has no size or speed to fall back on. Licht has an obsession with smaller slow RB's and it just hasn't worked in his tenure.
Overall a B grade. Don't see any home run picks but no classic Licht way off the board reaches either. I don't see a lot of upside in any of the picks besides Barton though. That's the main criticism. They have angled for a lot of role player types to fill holes. Not a bad thing but it depends how you look at it.

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
PFF:
Bucs - A
Barton — Tampa Bay is set at tackle with Tristan Wirfs and Luke Goedeke, so Barton is sure to play inside. He has experience at center and enough athleticism to play anywhere up front. Barton earned an 88.7 overall PFF grade across the last two seasons, which stands as the fifth-best among all FBS tackles in that span.
Braswell — The Buccaneers pick up a consistent power-based outside linebacker in Chris Braswell. He isn’t as explosive as his Alabama teammate Dallas Turner, but he led the SEC in pressures in 2023 and provides a solid anchor on the edge in the run game. He is likely to be an immediate starter for the Buccaneers.
Smith — The second Georgia safety to come off the board, Smith is the perfect player to stack the box and add aggressiveness to a defense. Smith will have no problem setting the edge in the run game and graded well in the SEC, earning the third-best run-defense grade among safeties (84.0). He lacks the long speed to be a deep coverage player but has a role in the Buccaneers' secondary.
McMillan — McMillan is the 15th receiver off the board and finds himself in a great situation in Tampa Bay. A weapon out of the slot, he recorded 14 touchdowns since 2022, most among Power Five receivers. In an offense with big-time playmakers, McMillan was prioritized in Washington. A nuanced route runner, he’ll need to lean into that strength, as he doesn’t have the top-end speed to take the top off defenses.
Irving — The Buccaneers add one of the toughest running backs to tackle in this draft, as Irving forced 136 missed tackles over the past two seasons to rank second among Power Five running backs. His 96.1 PFF rushing grade in that span also ranks second.
Klein — Klein wasn’t on the PFF big board or consensus board, but he did post some impressive numbers as a pass blocker in his final season at UTEP. He earned a 93.5 PFF pass-blocking grade in 2023, allowing just three total pressures from 372 pass-blocking snaps.
Culp — Culp was limited as a receiver, catching 16 passes for 208 yards on 23 targets. He was solid as a run blocker, though, earning a 73.2 PFF run-blocking grade in 2023.

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
I tend to agree with you on this one, but watching his film and reading about all the broken tackles kinda gives me a Warrick Dunn feeling. The biggest difference is that Dunn was much faster than 4.55.Barnzy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 2:01 am Bucky is a 5'9 190 pound RB with 4.55 speed. I mean, the measurables are a worry immediately.

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
I get that. Still to early since Licht does not coach. Still to early since training camp has not taken place. His pick has to improve the OL. Does not matter what position he plays. As a first round pick he needs to start and the OL play has to get better.

NFC South
Atlanta Falcons
Overall Grade: D-
Baffling. Pretty baffling use of the eighth overall pick. After signing Kirk Cousins, it was a bit of a shocker for the Falcons to use the pick on a backup quarterback rather than opt to take someone who can play this year. Unless the Cousins signing is a total disaster, it will be years before the Falcons see Michael Penix on the field. Time will tell how that works out, but this team is not ready for a resource allocation like that. They also failed to grab a cornerback in this draft, but they did make some very solid picks along the defensive line that should help them finally stabilize that position group. The defensive line picks are the only thing keeping this from being an F grade.

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
Is OBP just praying all our CBs stay healthy for the first time ever? I don't hate the draft, and glad we addressed OL with our top pick, but it's baffling we got rid of one of three outside CBs and decide not to bring anyone else in. I'm not even sold on zyon, teams went at him when he replaced CD/JD and he struggled. I don't get it.

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
Biggest miss was not getting an inside LB. I thought Trotter Jr, or Payton Wilson would have been a great choice in the middle rounds. Lavonte is bound to be done this year, and we do not have a viable option after him. Not to mention the depth at that position is pretty bad.

LVD is an ageless wonder, and perhaps we will be blessed to see him do his thing for another full and healthy year. But even if LVD trails off or what have you, KJ Britt and SirVocea Dennis were drafted by this regime to play in this defense, both fifth round picks to groom and train up into starting caliber players for those middle spots. KJ had a half dozen starts last year after he took Devin White's job, including both playoff games, and while he had his share of errors I thought he was remarkably consistent all things considered. Dennis admittedly looked lost at times as a rookie, and that's okay, I didn't expect the world from him and I imagine he will only improve with further seasoning as MLB3.
If Bowles has confidence in those guys as the nucleus of our linebacking core, so do I.

Resources can stretch only so far and we choice to use the majority of those on keeping players already on the team and adding to other areas.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 2:13 pmThey had multiple opportunities to get both of those players.

Ok… They didn’t seem to see it as the major need others did because they made the conscious decision not to address it in free agency (beyond LVD) or over multiple rounds in the NFL draft and also let Devin White walk.Bootz wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 5:06 pmFailure to address a position shouldn't be seen as an indication that the team is happy with what they have OR that it was the right choice.

Re: 2024 post-draft sentiment
Now the question is how many of these guys make the 1st final 53. Last 2 draft
fts 7 out of 8 made it. The only spot I really see a bit of a log jam in terms of current bodies are OG & CB. We'll have to let go of somebody, whether it be recent FA signings, recent draftees or rookies.
