The Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread

[King Bootz]

Jake Camarda. So that was the once in a generation guy?

[Backside]

Lol

[Snake]

My gut is telling me this draft isn't gonna grade out as a great one long-term.

But wtf do I know...

[Miller4Prez64]

Okay, this is the first one I don’t like.

[Backside]

Jake Camarda. So that was the once in a generation guy?

Nope lol

[King Bootz]

Yea fuck this draft.

[Naismith]

This isn't a criticism of the Bucs' picks but man, this has been a boring Bucs draft.

My bad.

[King Bootz]

My gut is telling me this draft isn't gonna grade out as a great one long-term.

Don't sell yourself short. It appears this one and last years are iffy at best to grade out well long term

[Grahamburn]

You’ve gotta love it. Licht is just trolling us at this point.

[mdb1958]

A fucking punter

You can never spend enough years on special teams!

[TonyLip]

What’s he bench?

[Doctor]

Well there goes "a" punter...

Apparently, dude has killer hang time.

[Selmon Rules]

Would have much preferred a CB with upside or a DL for depth than a punter, any punter, there

[Kona]

Head scratcher, thought we’d add some DB depth. They showed Licht pumping his fists afterwards. Guess that was his pick.

I’m assuming Pinion gets released?

[Cheb]

Jake Camarda. So that was the once in a generation guy?

Nope.

But he's more consistent and can boom kickoffs, so yay?

Goodbye Pinion. Wish you the best moving forward.

Like, what's the best case scenarios if we're being realistic about projections?

Hall becomes Gholston 2.0. Solid starter for years.
White is an average 3 down RB. not spectacular, but can play.
Goedeke becomes a solid guard. Maybe he can be a lot better. but idk.
Otton's physical traits limit his ceiling.
A punter is a punter.

Coming away with 3 starters would be great. But I don't see a lot of potential here. but again, not an expert or pretending to be.

[mdb1958]

I hafta check but yes we still may have the slowest defensive line in the league.

[Grahamburn]

Saved some money.

[Doctor]

We traded a 4th round pick for $2.8M in cap space.

Given we're a good offense most of our punts don't really have to go far as much as hang high, which this guy does very well.

Man, you need to work on your imagination if these are your best case scenarios!

Best case while trying to be at least somewhat realistic given their physical limitations.

He's more consistent than the "once in a generation" guy?

Seem that label needs to be revised a bit.

[Doctor]

He didn't say best he said realistic. He's not wrong. We took a lot of safe swings this draft.

They saw you all not impressed with my sims and granted your wish!

[Grahamburn]

Glass half full: The roster is so stacked there aren’t any position players available that’ll make the final 53 or even practice squad. Hence, punter.

[Miller4Prez64]

I really do not like this. I trust Licht with small school offensive lineman, but with kickers and punters? I do not like this at all. Especially since this dude isn’t even that punt god people are drooling over. Our first four picks I’m okay with to varying degrees but this not so much.

On the bright side, Pinion is overpaid and not very good.

Darn if that doesnt sound like Dread.

Tom Brady won't be a Buccaneer after this season. I understand the desire to improve on the margins, but we're talking about a punter in the 4th round.

Best case scenario is much better than that.

I think Hall has a bit more juice than Gholston ever had. But your point is valid.

This would've been the draft where I took exceptional athletes with great gifts and tasked my coaching staff with teaching them how to be better football players. This draft we seem to do the opposite. Took guys who aren't the best athletes but did well in college.

This has been a very Mark Dominik like draft.

[mdb1958]

Did you see the excitement from Licht when that punter got picked, not a Buc fan in the world mattered at that very moment.

Were you not paying attention last year when we were playing CBs that were on their couch the week before????

Would have preferred a CB or DL with some upside but that's just me and I don't get paid millions for my football opinions

Except this roster isn't that stacked. It's not even close.

You're right about Hall having more juice. and I agree, if this coaching staff is so large and good, I'd like to see them try to coach up some better athletes. but you know...

[Doctor]

Pats take a QB. Guess they don't believe in Mac.
