Way Too-Early Mock 2025 NFL Draft
Way Too-Early Mock 2025 NFL Draft
Many mock drafts predict either offensive tackle or cornerback for us. It seems they see that our offensive line as weak. I concur that acquiring a cornerback is need, and I would be thrilled with the selection of Travis Hunter. If we secure a top 3 pick, we should draft for exciting quarterback like Sanders.

Re: Way Too-Early Mock 2025 NFL Draft
Yahoo & PFF has us picking 12th, Walter Football, 247, & APNews 10th, Fox 13th.
That means these outlets think that we're not only not going to win the division or make the playoffs, but have a losing record. Yet, none of them think we'd take a QB? Odd.

@CannonFire We inked a deal with Baker Mayfield for a 2-3 year contract. If we select another offensive tackle in the draft, and assuming we are in the top 5 picks in 2026, that rookie quarterback will have solid protection from those offensive line

I prefer selecting CB Travis Hunter over OT. IMO
Re: Way Too-Early Mock 2025 NFL Draft
If we're picking that high it's gonna be a QB.
Most hated man in America.

Re: Way Too-Early Mock 2025 NFL Draft
I don't disagree with that theory, but that's assuming (and possibly rightly so), that Goedeke isn't doing a good job on the right side. If he is however, we know he's not good as an iOL, so adding a tackle gives us a player (assuming RT), that we don't need. It's kind of like drafting a QB when you just signed one for 4 years.
If Goedeke is doing well at RT, then we already have the solid protection in place, so why not draft the rookie QB. Heck, by all accounts, we already have "solid protection", as virtually every outlet that I've seen read, has the Bucs PASS blocking as top third in the league.
One thing this organization should NEVER do, is go with the plan that Mayfield is the answer. Replacing him should always be at the top of the "To Do" list, going forward. Now, if there is no franchise QB available, then fine, so be it. We have no idea how many QB's coming out next year will be considered as such. Maybe there's one, and he's taken #1. Then fine, take the best player available, but from their projections, there are as many as 5 first rd QB's. In that scenario, and Goedeke is doing just fine, the Bucs #1 priority, should be QB. Let him sit behind Mayfield for 1 year, fine with me, but then move on and move forward.

I can tell you now we're not picking that high.
Re: Way Too-Early Mock 2025 NFL Draft
PFN moved us up to 11th.

Re: Way Too-Early Mock 2025 NFL Draft
Couple things go wrong we could easily pick that high. We were incredibly lucky last year with injuries. Schedule looks tough too. 7-10 or 8-9 picks right around the top 10.

Re: Way Too-Early Mock 2025 NFL Draft
Things don't have to go wrong for us to be 7-10, they just have to play out as expected. I don't think that'll happen though. Injuries to our team and others will happen. It's possible we win 4 or 5, it's possible we win 8 or 9. I think it would be a miracle if we hit 10. Literally everything would need to break right for that to happen.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 9:14 am Couple things go wrong we could easily pick that high.

I think where they're projecting... with around the 10 to 13th pick, is reasonable.
