WEBVTT - What Positions Will the Bucs Target in Later Rounds? | Road to the Draft

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Road to the Draft Casey Phillips. Here was

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>senior writer and editor Scott Smith, and as always, this

0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:08.639
<v Speaker 1>is where we talk about things going on in the

0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:10.719
<v Speaker 1>world of the Buccaneers, how they might affect the draft,

0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>what they might do. And we have talked a lot

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>about the first round. We know that's the thing that

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:17.080
<v Speaker 1>gets everybody excited, call the hype as it should as

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.120
<v Speaker 1>we have seen, man, the Bucks have done a great

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.639
<v Speaker 1>job in the second round and later that it is

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>not just about that first round er. There's a lot

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>of great talent to be had. So if you were

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to be a betting man right now, what would be

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.319
<v Speaker 1>your idea of a second round pick that would be

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.520
<v Speaker 1>a good value pick, kind of how it would match

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>up needs players available. That's always where you start really

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>getting into I'm actually well prepared for that question. We'll

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>look at that because for next week's mock draft on

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Buccaneers dot Com, which we do every week, and I

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>did one on the second round, and how do you

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:46.920
<v Speaker 1>do that? You got to know who goes in the

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>first round. So I went online and found a mock

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.879
<v Speaker 1>draft generator. Yes those exist, what a world we live in?

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>And I ran it a few times until I got

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>one I liked, which basically meant, did I like who

0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the buckscott? And did the first ten seem to make sense?

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>And so I did that. So you have your thirty

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>one picks in the first round, and then I picked

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 1>for every team after that. And when we get to

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks that pick number fifty overall, I gave us

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>North Dakota State tackle Cody Mock. Now we know we

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>were I'm sorry your mock draft. I had to. I

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>had to do it. I'm assuming his name is pronounced Mock.

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Now this is the guy. So, this is a guy

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of famous because he got a he got

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>a couple of teeth knocked out, and he just decided

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>not to do anything about it. I think he got

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>tired of so he just he just has the big

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>smile with that long flowing hair, and I think he'd

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>be good friends with Cookeef probably like Kindred spirits Um.

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>This guy. Uh, you know, there's a lot of good

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>tackle depth in the league in the draft this year,

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and what was particularly good about Cody Mock of North

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Dakota State is that he's very good blocking on the

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>run on the move, and with our new offensive coordineyer

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Dave canalis Um. Apparently we're going to see a lot

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>more outside zone type running where the guy's base. Basically

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>three or two or three offensive linemen are moving in

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the same direction in tandem to create double teams, and

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the back chooses the gap, and so they need to

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>be good blocking on the move, and he's very good

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>at that. So that's why I thought this could be

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>a good player for the Bucks, who may be looking

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>for a new right tackle if there's some worse moves

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.919
<v Speaker 1>to left. I do think also the fact that they're

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>picking nineteenth in the first round, there's so much there

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>about what's there and what's not at nineteen to then

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>decide what you might want to use yourself. In this

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 1>particular mock, we got Nolan Smith, the edge rusher from

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Georgia in the first round. That's why I went offensive

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>tackle in the second round. If we had taken like

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Darnell right in the first round, that I would have

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>gone probably an edge rushing in second round. And so yeah,

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>so who would that be in your mind? That we

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>know edge rusher is something that is one of those

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 1>where you tackle and edge rusher definitely two of the

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>position premium position that you can see that are premium

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>in the draft and would probably be premium to the bucking.

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>And this particular draft has a couple guys like Will

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:53.919
<v Speaker 1>Anderson and Tyree Wilson I think that are very highly

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>ranked and probably going in the top ten. But there's

0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>a good it's hard to get good edge rushers without

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>using a premium pick on it, so you don't often

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>find them in the second and third round. But there's

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.639
<v Speaker 1>there's good depth in this year's draft at that position

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>that a lot of teams are going to be taking

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>them in the second round. And a guy that fell

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to me, I think in some of the mock drafts

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.359
<v Speaker 1>I see at picked him or fifty as LS Hugh's

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 1>bj OJILARI. Now, if this guy were a fully formed,

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>great pass rushing prospect, he wouldn't be there at pick fifty.

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>But he's really good off the edge. He's quick, he's bendy.

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:27.839
<v Speaker 1>You look at that, See how he got a round

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the corner on that guy. Real quick. That's what he's

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>really good at. Probably needs to improve against the run

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and hone his pass rushing moves a little bit, but

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>he's a guy with a lot of speed. And potential.

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>So that's the guy I could see how the Bucks

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>take him. And I know the Bucks have done this

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>in a few years where they've picked several of certain

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>positions multiple years in a row or multiple times in

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>a draft. And we saw last year they took two

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>tight ends ended up being both of them played well.

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>They played well as rookies, but they also had Cam

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Braid and other people. Now you've lost Cam Breds. So

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>even though they took two tight ends last year, do

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you see that something that they could still focus on

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>in one of those early rounds. Yeah, one hundred percent.

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Because again I'm talking about Dave Canalis, the new offensive

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 1>coordinator for the Buccaneers, assuming he's going to do things

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>similar to the way they did it in Seattle with

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Shane Waldron as our offensive coordinator. They used the twelve

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>package two tight endsets a lot more than the league average,

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>like twenty three percent of the time. And so you

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 1>do have the guys we drifted to last year, ka

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.799
<v Speaker 1>Dot and then co Keifed, But I think co Keifed

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 1>is more of a move around fullback h back blocker

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>type for the actual two tight end sets where both

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 1>guys are legitimate receiving threats. It'd be nice to add

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>another guy, which is why I think a guy like

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Luke Musgrave or of Oregon State. It's a very deep

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>tight end class, so even if four or five or

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>even six tight ends are already off the board, he

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 1>could still be there at pick number fifty. He didn't

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 1>have giant pass catching numbers basically because you know, the

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>COVID season kind of took away some of this playing time.

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 1>He was hurt last year, but he's definitely got down

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>as you see on these clips, he's definitely got the

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>ability to get downfield to work. Seems he's a very

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 1>smooth route runner. He obviously catches the ball very well.

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.280
<v Speaker 1>So he's a guy that could give you With Kate Otten,

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>who had a really nice rookie season, he could give

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you some really good looks in two tight end sets.

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 1>That's why I think it's possible. Yeah, that's going to

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>be so interesting to watch. Again. We love that it

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>is not just the first round. That the Bucks have

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 1>done a great job in all these other rounds. So

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot to look forward to and a lot

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>more to talk about on road to the draft. So

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.160
<v Speaker 1>we'll be back with another one next week,
