I would pick an offensive lineman for the first 3 picks. We can’t be the 29th worst oline next year and have the 31st worst run game. It’s time to help out Tristin Wirfs.
For Chop: There's also something to be said for a guy, in college, who didn't really produce. "Potential" means you haven't done it yet. Chop is ALL "potential". We already have him. His name is JTS. Fail.
Agreed. Horrible to draft non producers from elite schools. He had opportunities. He got 4 sacks. 7.5 tackles for a loss. Most importantly, short arms, so not an edge rusher the Bucs tend to like. Bad mock. Bad fit.
Ik I’m in the minority here but I think we’re fine at edge. Just gotta let the young guys develop. We need that Cooper pick tho. Imagine going into next season if Lavonte retires
Bucs were top 10 in the NFL in sacks last year . Edge can wait. Bucs were historically bad at running game. The absolutely need to go O-lineman. Odds are you have a waaay better chance to hit on an O-lineman at 26th than you do at D-lineman. Not saying it doesn't happen but your more likely to get a very good O-lineman. At 26th you are likely to get another JTS at d line
Yes the Bucs have a need at OLB but no Chop Robinson is not the answer. Too much like the last two years top DL picks. The Bucs can’t afford to draft a guy on projection again this year. Round 2 is probably the sweet spot for OLB position this year. Bucs will go IOL first, OLB 2nd and ILB in the 3rd. I've seen lots of mocks that have the Bucs getting Copper or Trotter with one of their 3rd round picks. A 2nd IOL with their other 3rd is a good option. TE, CB, and RB on day 3.
Bucs have to go Oline in the 1st and 2nd then edge & cornerback. A solid run game with long scoring drives will be a huge bonus to the defense as they will be fresh and rested.
James! Besides the edgerrin cooper pick this mock draft was terrible! In my opinion the Bucs don’t have enough draft picks early on so I would trade the 1st,6th, and 7th picks for additional picks! Should be able to get 2 seconds and a third or more for the first pick alone!
Gore jr. Is projected to go in the 7th round. He'd be a great UFA signing if he doesn't get drafted. Not a 4th round pick. The Michigan WR is expected to go in the 6th-7th round. He position ranking is somewhere between 20-34 best WR coming out this year. Another great get if he goes undrafted as a UFA. I see lots of people’s mocks that are unrealistic but I've never seen one so unrealistic in this direction. Why pick a bunch of players that are late day 3 guys on day 2? This draft would be a disaster. The GM should be fired on the spot.
I like your 1st✌🏾picks Chop Robinson is☝🏾of my top 3 prospects for us in the 1st rd… Edgerrin Copper would be a nice replacement for Devin White in the 2nd rd and I love the Frank Gore Jr pick he is also another prospect I wouldn’t mind us picking
This is the same as drafting the Tight end. I believe if you dont get one of the top 1 or 2 edge rushers you are wasting a pick. You need someone like a Bosa, Watt, Crosby who is affecting the line EVERY play. This "chop" aint him.
They like our edges we have if it ain’t latu in the 1st it doesn’t make sense to me ..and lb in 2nd is crazy lol we would add to the WR room with a stud before we go chop and a lb at 2nd..edge is nice but putting points up trumps everything I believe
The only possible offensive weapon that makes sense is bowers if he were to fall. Evans, Godwin, Palmer make up the 1,2,3 and then white was 2nd in the NFL in scrimmage yards for RBs so he’s blossoming nicely. LB, corner, edge, O-line and MAYBE TE are the biggest needs in no order
Bucs were Top 10 in sacks last season with Shaq out there way to much stealing reps from young players... Edge needs to wait. CB or Online or even ILB early.
LB in the 2nd rd? Better 3rd rd James Williams. Oline needs to be fixed. Mccormick, hm. Puni would be better. He can also play G and C. Plus Bartolini seems to be a sleeper.
More and more I'm becoming less enthusiastic about chop Robinson his collegiate sack total is underwhelming I hope if we draft him he's not another JTS only 5.5 sacks his best season and I know you said we shouldn't look at this but studying him further he seems like a reach at 26 id go best o-linemen or look at trade back scenarios
Stats aren’t the end all be all in a prospects tape. Sometimes it’s technical and sometimes it’s pure athleticism. In chops case it’s both. He’s got power, speed, technique but needs proper coaching to have the best of him brought out. Only teams I see him excelling at that needs him is the rams and bucs.
Ugh usually I love your mocks bro this one is kinda meh I would have taken marshall kneeland or Darius Robinson over chop at edge rush and I would have waited til the 2nd round-- I would be looking at RB and WR on rounds 3-5 not a fan of the WR you did pick when guys like Malachi corley and ja'lynn Polk are probably still available in the 3rd round who would be better fit as the slot receiver.... Not a terrible mock James but not your best work lol sorry 🤷
I like the linebacker pick in the 2nd round. Not many mocks are even addressing that position.
ILB is a spot we probably will use a early to mid pick on.
Nate Wiggins would be a immediate impact for us
I would pick an offensive lineman for the first 3 picks. We can’t be the 29th worst oline next year and have the 31st worst run game. It’s time to help out Tristin Wirfs.
3 is pushing it. I’d definitely take Barton or JPJ but if both are gone I’d take edge. But I also see the Bucs trading up
Nah but I think Barton or JPJ in the 1st for sure
facts for what both of y’all said @Zangyaks & @austinglaze5415
I agree with you
I LIKE THE LINEBACKER FROM A&M. THAT'S DW REPLACEMENT, LOOKING AT FILM COOPER IS AN UPGRADE #GOBUCS
For Chop: There's also something to be said for a guy, in college, who didn't really produce. "Potential" means you haven't done it yet. Chop is ALL "potential". We already have him. His name is JTS. Fail.
Agreed. Horrible to draft non producers from elite schools.
He had opportunities.
He got 4 sacks. 7.5 tackles for a loss.
Most importantly, short arms, so not an edge rusher the Bucs tend to like.
Bad mock. Bad fit.
1st round pick should be Graham Barton - can play all 3 positions - hard nose player - very Ali Marpet like type player.
O LINE *Jackson powers OR PASS RUSHER FIRST ROUND AND IM PLEASED. NEXT 2 ROUNDS GOTTA BE CORNER'S ,WRS OR BEST AVAILABLE 💯🔒 #GOBUCS
For your next one James, can you start off with a summary of needs? I am interested if you feel we need a DL you fill the will golsthon hole?
Laiatu Latu is the only edge we should be taking in the first
Day on starter
Ik I’m in the minority here but I think we’re fine at edge. Just gotta let the young guys develop. We need that Cooper pick tho. Imagine going into next season if Lavonte retires

I would get Cooper first round then come back get a cornerback in the 2nd round to load defense back up
The best first step in the draft great first round selection double up with jlyx hunt R4 j solman or jalen harrel in the 7th
I'm definitely familiar with Devin Leary. He went to the rival high school Timber Creek Regional near my neck of the woods.
Bucs have to go Oline in the 1st and 2nd then edge & cornerback. A solid run game with long scoring drives will be a huge bonus to the defense as they will be fresh and rested.
No ILB...
Power Johnson First round. Chop Johnson or whoever is left in the second round. Outside of that I'm good
4.48 at that weight is a monster
That's what she said.
We should get the free agent from the 49ners for edge and pick the 6 foot 5 safety from Miami
Future replacement for L david
I feel Chop is a boom or bust player very much like JTS who was a BUST as an edge rusher. Only 4 sacks in 2023 very much JTS numbers
Chop has shorter arms by a mile. He's a 4-3 olb in the NFL.
I really like Edgerrin Cooper in the 2nd.
1.54 10 yard split is great. Just what we need
Chop = JTS basically the same dude. Drafting on potential
Nope... JTS at least doesn't have Trex arms. Chop is a non 3-4 LBer in the NFL.
Bad mock
@@rolandwoltman7835 I guess I’m more saying about how they’d draft him strictly on his “ potential “ ala JTS
If Jackson Powers-Johnson is available at 26. Do the Bucs draft him?
James! Besides the edgerrin cooper pick this mock draft was terrible! In my opinion the Bucs don’t have enough draft picks early on so I would trade the 1st,6th, and 7th picks for additional picks! Should be able to get 2 seconds and a third or more for the first pick alone!

Frank Gore was a 6th round pick in this mock draft, not a 4th.
Love the mason pick
we need big fat offensive guard
and pass rusher
Center and a Guard
What draft simulator you use
I like your 1st✌🏾picks Chop Robinson is☝🏾of my top 3 prospects for us in the 1st rd… Edgerrin Copper would be a nice replacement for Devin White in the 2nd rd and I love the Frank Gore Jr pick he is also another prospect I wouldn’t mind us picking
Chop is a 4-3 outside LBer. His short arms don't fit out D. Unless you see him as a ILB... Which I haven't seen anyone project him into.
If we traded back Into the 2nd and get chop then it could be worth it
A 4-3 team will take him by then. Where he fits
I don't like small guards, hasn't worked out since Ali left
yo you kno there are still good free agents like x Howard and Thomas
This is the same as drafting the Tight end. I believe if you dont get one of the top 1 or 2 edge rushers you are wasting a pick. You need someone like a Bosa, Watt, Crosby who is affecting the line EVERY play. This "chop" aint him.

I wouldnt waste one pick on a qb this year wait til UDFA
Chop will be gone before our pick
I agree with you on this
Is Trask really that bad, 2 years under brady... what a missed opportunity
1st round Bucs always go defensive line it seems. I wonder when they will make a sexier pick
I hope they make it really sexy and get an offensive lineman so we can run the damn ball
I hope they take colemen
@@Tampafan33 yes
Why are none of the "Experts" not interested in improving the running game. Worst in the league? Tired of hearing 2 ND and 11, or 2nd in 12?
Id choose Latu
I agree with you
LB in the 2nd rd? Better 3rd rd James Williams. Oline needs to be fixed. Mccormick, hm. Puni would be better. He can also play G and C. Plus Bartolini seems to be a sleeper.
Love projects with first round picks 🙄
Especially edge players with Trex arms 😂
T.J Tampa to the Bucs would be sweet
We need O line. Center, Zach Frazier. Then CB, then linebacker. Or just O line?
More and more I'm becoming less enthusiastic about chop Robinson his collegiate sack total is underwhelming I hope if we draft him he's not another JTS only 5.5 sacks his best season and I know you said we shouldn't look at this but studying him further he seems like a reach at 26 id go best o-linemen or look at trade back scenarios
get a ga bulldog
I would take ray davis over gore jr too lol sorry james plus ray ray is a liam Cohen guy
Oh wow james a QB in the sixth? Ughhhh we have 3 qbs already 🤷
People are drunk if they want a QB in the first round. I wouldn’t take any of these QBs in the first round.
Which QBs? I think a lot of them are really good
Jayden Daniels is the only one id gamble on in the first the dude gives me Lamar Jackson vibes
@@bloggins737 he concerns me with how thin he looks
@@PsychoWooolf47 I think there isn’t one pro bowler in this class
you clearly aren't gm material.
Chop stats aren't there

he's not big enough
Sorry, I don't like any of your picks.
I agree too we need ol
