WEBVTT - Breaking Down the Rookies & Future Moves | Bucs Insider 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.159 Welcome to Buccaneers Inside on Live presented by Miller. Like 0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.200 Casey Phillips and Scott Smith here come into you live 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:17.239 during this time of us working for moment, but we 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:18.799 were so excited, we have figured out a way to 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.000 do this so that we can still take some of 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:24.320 your questions. So if you're not already watching on Facebook, 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:25.960 make sure you've got on over there and in the 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.720 comments section of the video on Facebook, you can leave 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.640 your questions. We also love hearing where everybody's watching from, 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:33.880 and we know with the draft just happening this last week, 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:35.559 there are going to be so many questions and we 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:37.559 have so much to talk about, which is great, so 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:39.839 as we give people a chance to start submitting some 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.199 of those questions on Facebook, Scott, I just wanted to 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.560 hear your overall initial thoughts about the draft as a whole. 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.440 We'll get into each of the draft picks, i'm sure, 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.000 but for now, just what you thought of the Buccaneers 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.520 draft class as a whole. Well, I can talk about 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:55.280 it as a whole, but I think the most important 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.480 takeaway is that the Bucks got their man in the 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.960 first round. I think after we've seen what we've seen, 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.400 after we've heard talk afterwards. I don't know if you 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.560 saw the Peter King piece. He got to actually uh 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.600 watch in for a lot of while Jason was Jason 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:13.400 Lightlewis conducting his draft, and it became clear from all 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.240 the evidence that priority number one, the biggest thing that 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.720 needed to be accomplished was to get that offensive tackle 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:23.559 and particularly Tristan Worse and uh admission accomplished. And if 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:27.080 Jason Light was at least contemplating trades with every team 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.319 from about seven on down, that's what it sounded like 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.840 in the Peter King piece, then he was at least considering, 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:34.480 I don't know if you can pull the trigger or not, 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.160 but at least considering trading anything up to our second 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.039 round pick. So it's really it's it's awesome that the 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.280 Buckaneers got there, man, But it's also nice the way 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.959 it fell out, and a trade up to eight, nine, 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:48.720 ten wasn't necessary, or maybe in this case just wasn't possible, 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.000 but it fell out. Okay, the Bucks only had to 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:52.840 move up one, only had to give up their fourth 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:54.160 round pick. I'm sure they would have loved to have 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.280 kept that fourth round pick, but I think keeping the 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.000 second and the third was really a win and still 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.960 getting Tristan worse. So to me, that was the biggest takeaway. Okay, 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.000 I thought that was really interesting about the trades that Um, 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.080 some people were speculating that there weren't as many trades happening, 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.440 you know, because of the virtual side of the draft, 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:12.960 that they were afraid it was just gonna be difficult 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.880 for teams. But it sounds like that wasn't it. For Jason, 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.560 it sounded like it was just teams were happy with 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.000 who they thought they were going to get. Yeah, based 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.320 on the conversations in that piece, Uh, he would talk 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.320 to a guy and then that that for the GM 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.920 for another team, and the GYM would eventually just decided 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.679 not to do a trade because they wanted to take 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.160 the player that was there. You know, the Panthers wanted 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:36.079 Derek Brown, and the Cardinals were ecstatic when Asaiah Simmons 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.080 fell into their lap at eight. They didn't really expect 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.240 that to happen from what their GM has said. And then, uh, 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:45.160 the Jaguars wanted to take C. J. Henderson and so on, so, uh, 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.040 you know, it could have been it easily could have 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.720 been that the Buccaneers didn't get the man they really wanted. 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:55.280 Unfortunately they worked out right. Nathan had asked, why you 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.800 think they didn't want to trade for Leonard for Nett, 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.639 either you know, before the draft or during that process. 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:02.120 I think that probably had a lot to do with 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.200 the fact that they felt they could meet that need 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.120 in the draft, which I think they believe they did 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.079 with Keishaw Vaughn. Remember, we do already have Ronald Jones, 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.480 and they have said many, many times that they like 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.560 Ronald Jones. He broke out to some extent last year 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.160 top two thousand yards from scrimmage, and they think he 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.720 could do more. So maybe you don't need a Bell 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.720 cow back. And a lot of not a lot of 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.919 teams in the NFL right now in this day and 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.359 age who actually just go with going Bell cow back. 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.000 You know, your Christian Caffres and your sa Kwan Barkley's 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.000 Ezekiel Elliott. There's a few, but most of them employe 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.840 a roster off facts, and so maybe you don't need 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.240 to put assets in cap space. It wasn't huge cap 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.440 space from Lyard for it, but it was some folks 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.640 don't have a lot after the Rob Gronkowski trained in particular, 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.320 so I just think they felt it was a need 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.720 they could meet more easily and more effectively and more 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.920 cost effectively in the draft. And Vaughan, what were your 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.160 thoughts on on him and what he could bring, especially 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.960 to compliment Ronald Jones, and what are the skill sets 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.480 there and how he could be to Lloyd, Well, he's 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.480 a guy that they think can be a pass catcher 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.040 out of the backfield. He didn't have huge receiving numbers 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.080 in college. They're gonna try and they're gonna see what 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.000 they can get out of them. That now, Um, Bruce 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.720 Arians did say that Keishaan j Von is not David Johnson. 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.360 He said the running back we got in the seventh round, 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:21.840 Raymond Klai, is more like a very small, much smaller, 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:23.960 but suped up version of David Johnson. Meaning he's a 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.279 guy that you can split out wide and run actual 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.320 receiver routes with. So I'm not sure they see the 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.760 keyshaw Von having like a d catch potential, but I 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.000 think they are going to find out what he can 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:35.760 do in the in the passing game, and they think 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.400 he can play on all three downs. So him and 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.600 Ronald Jones that should give you what you need in 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.360 the backfield. Okay, and yeah, I think is how you 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.720 say this name asked? Is there a need for more 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.080 depths on the O line now that we at least 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.240 know we got Tristan Works and I mean, but just 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.599 overall the depth of the old line where that stands, 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.000 I think there may be some need for interior depth. 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.919 I think you saw the Tristan Worst will probably be. 0:04:58.400 --> 0:04:59.960 I'm sure he'll have to compete for the right tech 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.400 full job, but that's obviously who they want to be 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.800 there on day one is Tristan Worst. But he did 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.000 sign Joe Heg who has made a number of starts 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.280 at both tackle positions, so he's kind of an ideal 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.479 swing tackle with And there are a couple of guys 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.599 like Brad Seaton that they like, Younger guys that haven't 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.720 really had much of an opportunity yet, but I think 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.640 they like as a chance to make it as that 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.800 eighth or ninth offensive lineman. But I think they could 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.520 use some depth on the interior line. And we haven't 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:30.040 announced any of our undrafted free agency yet they I'm 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.200 sure some fans have seen some names. Uh, we can't 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.520 really talk about him until the Bucks announced it, but 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.520 there's probably gonna be some offensive line candidates in there 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.440 because they didn't hit it again after you know, after 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.120 the first round in the draft. I thought they might 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.600 try to take a guard or a center somewhere along 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:49.160 the way, but there were just other players they had targeted. Okay, 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:54.679 and Rodney asked about our kick return, punt return special teams, So, um, 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.240 I wanted to get your thoughts on if any of 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.479 these draft picks do you feel like could fill the 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.880 actual position of the return in and then where they 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.279 might also fit in terms of just being on the 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.640 coverage teams just overall where you see our special teams 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.080 units in that area. Well, yeah, if you're a third 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.279 day pick, you should expect to be playing special teams 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.600 and you should be hoping to play special teams because 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:16.560 it's your way to make the roster and and and 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.320 get some exposure and maybe get a bigger job as 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:23.240 time goes on. So like um chappelle Russell as an example, 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.560 the linebacker in the UH in the seventh round. He's 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.360 a fast guy, he's not a huge guy. Um he 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.080 I wouldn't expect him to unseat Devil White or Levante 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.520 David or maybe even you serve Kevin Minter for the 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.239 main backup spot right away. But that's a guy who's 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.800 athletic traits profile would be a pretty good, UH special 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.040 teams player off the right off the bat, I think 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.160 there are some There are a couple of our draftees 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.080 who could factor into the return game. Uh t J. 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.360 Logan will be back to so uh there's gonna be 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.840 some options there. The return game definitely needs to get better. 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.760 In fact, the Bucks Special teams overall need to get better. 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:03.000 That doesn't Um that we need necessarily need more additions. 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.239 Just you know, when you look at Matt Gay's final 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.320 field goal percentage, it wasn't where you wanted it to be, 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.680 but that was mainly just because of like a three 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.440 game slump right at the end of the season from 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.880 one to thirteen. You loved his numbers overall, So I 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:18.600 think we have what we need. We just need to 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.960 get better numbers this year. Yeah, that's a good point. 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.360 Um Brandon asked, do you think o J will be 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.960 on the team Week one at this point? Yes? Um. 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:28.400 If there was gonna be a trade for o J, 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.640 I think the more likely time would have been before 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.680 the draft, because you would have liked to used that 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.800 as an possibility to move up in the first round 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.520 and and you know, take away some of the tension 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.720 of getting the guy you wanted or getting some mid 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.920 round picks. Um. You know, I think the Ravens got 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.560 h a second and a fifth for Herst who they 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.880 traded to Atlanta. So we certainly could have done that 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.520 and really helped ourselves because obviously the Bucks are in 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.680 win now mode. Uh So getting that trade done before 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:56.880 the draft would have made a lot of sense. And 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.040 I'm not saying it's impossible, and you can look to 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.200 the future, but um, I think at this point, the 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:03.800 way they're talking about how they do believe they can 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.880 use all those tight ends, I think it's more likely 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.640 that he's on the on the field on the team 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.720 on Week one. Yeah, okay. Um Eddie asked would we 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:15.560 consider signing another quarterback as a backup? He gave Cam 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.760 Newton as an example, but just overall, what do you 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.240 see as the quarterback situation? Do we have the guys 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.520 on the roster we're gonna have what are your thoughts there? Well, 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.600 we have three guys are on the roster that we 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.880 know of. Obviously Tom Brady is your starter. Um, and 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.240 you you like Um playing Gabet of course because he's 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.040 familiar with the system, which is important, and Ryan Griffin 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.640 for that matter too, which is important in this offseason 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.320 when you don't know when you're going to get back 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.600 on the field, you don't know how much work you're 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.320 going to have before you're playing games, So I think 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:50.120 they probably value that. And then right after the draft, 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.400 when asked about the fact that the Bucks didn't draft 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.920 developmental quarterback, say on Day three, Bruce arians said they 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.040 did have their eye on a guy and undrafted free 0:08:58.160 --> 0:08:59.920 to see who they think has a lot of ups 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.960 And again, we haven't announced names yet, but I'm sure 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.920 fans can see on social media some of the names 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.199 of potential undrafted free agents that are out there. So 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.040 once we have our undrafted free agents in the fold, 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.040 I think you're gonna have four quarterbacks. And really that's 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.560 to me. Adding a fifth guy, like a veteran like 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.600 Newton to that doesn't make a lot of sense, right 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.360 um Sean asked, do you have any guesses on how 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.360 many primetime games we might get when the schedules released? 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:29.559 Oh a lot? What is the limit? Is it? Five? It? Maybe? 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.959 Maybe five? Um? It's it's gonna be a whole new 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.120 day around here, even back in the it would take 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.079 us back to the Super Bowl era. I think the 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:39.960 year after the Super Bowl we might have had three 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.160 Monday night games. Wouldn't shock me, you know, especially if 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.240 you had in a Thursday. We even played a Sunday 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:46.880 night game in forever. But I'd be one the bet 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:51.719 we get one now, so four maybe five, I would think, Yeah, 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.400 that's gonna be. That's gonna be crazy to speak. It's 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.280 gonna be a lot of late night flights for us 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.600 if that's the case. Um Rich asked, do you see 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.400 there being any kind of moves they need to make 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:06.560 to help the salary cap? Well? Probably, um, but those 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:10.920 aren't always guys being cut or traded. Um, you can 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:15.600 make ross I mean a contract restructuring pretty simply and 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.600 free up some cap space pretty easily. A lot of times, 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.840 the way you restructure a contract to free up cap 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:27.880 space as you convert some salary into uh a signing 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.280 bonus or just a bonus that the player gets right then, 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.400 which then spreads the cap hit out over the remainder 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.000 of the contracts. So and the players always like that 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.840 because it means they're getting money right then that they 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.880 would have had to wait for, So a contract restruction 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.640 is pretty easy to do. Um, I don't know exactly 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.160 which guys would be the top candidates for that, but 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.000 you know, you do have to devote a certain amount 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:50.719 of money. I think it maybe about seven million to 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.520 get in your draft picks signs, So there may need 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:55.200 to be some maneuvering, but I don't think it would 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.280 be anything fust okay, and Yage asked, do you see 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.120 any more moves being made to how with the secondary 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.560 or are we good with who we have now? Well, 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:09.760 now we've got Antoine Winfield. Um, I think we're probably good. 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.520 I mean, I wouldn't expect any major moves. You'll probably 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.400 have some undrafted free agents added to the mix, maybe 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.520 a guy that's on the street right now. Usually have 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:21.120 a handful of signings between the draft and training camp. 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.840 But if you're talking about a name guy, I don't 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.880 think so. I mean, it may have something to do 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.440 with if Justin Evans is ready to get back on 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.280 the field, and I don't know when we're gonna know 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:31.960 that and when we're gonna be back on the field. 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.600 You do have basically your three cornerbacks that you think 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.160 will start in place and some depth behind them, and 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.240 Ryan Smith and m J. Stewart. So it looks to 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.319 me like the pieces are in place. I wouldn't expect 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.960 any kind of big damage. Okay, and uh, we all 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:49.840 sad a question from Eric who asked, is there any 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.480 concern with the size of our safety room? I believe 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:58.120 all our five ten or under m hm. Uh. I 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:02.800 believe that's true about Jordan Whitehead and Antoine Winfield US 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.800 Mike Awards. Yeah. I don't know about Justin Evans, But 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.400 in any case, I don't think they're drafting these guys 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.800 if they think their height is a concern. Um. Yeah, 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.120 if you can have everything, If you could have everything 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.560 Antoine Winfield brings to the field and he's also six 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.880 for two, then great. But then maybe he's a mid 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.160 first round pick, right, So um, you know, some guys 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.199 just play bigger than they are. I don't think there's 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.400 a big concern about Okay. Rob asked which of the 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:31.000 new pickups, whether it's from draft or free agency, will 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:35.880 have the biggest direct impact Week one. Well, the one 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.560 that's most likely to start is obviously Tristan worse. I 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.480 know it's an easy answer. Wait, do you mean all 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.600 the free agency? Yeah? I think he was including free 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:43.920 agency as well. So if you want to give an 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.600 answer this draft picks and then a free agency answer, 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.040 that might be best. I gotta go with Tom Brady. 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.079 I mean, I know I'll get dange for making the 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:53.960 obvious choice, but how can you not talk? How can 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.320 it not be the quarter? How about your second choice? Then? 0:12:56.320 --> 0:13:01.160 Since we knew that was just uh so if re 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:05.439 signings count, um, maybe in domin Quin Sue, I mean, 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.320 Shack Bett was the big priority there. But you know, 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.160 sacks are kind of a fickle stat and go up 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.120 and down. But a guy that's constantly eating up double 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:16.320 team blocks and creating opportunities for pass rush for other guys, uh, 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.520 that would be a big a guy who's probably making 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:23.600 an impact on snaps. Um, if we're talking just new 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.800 guys and they're not talking about Tom Brady, it's probably 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.199 Tristan worse because he should be starting there in an 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:33.360 offensive lineman play every snap generally barring injury, and uh, 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.720 he's helping keep the pass rush off Tom Brady. Everything 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.120 else has that has to happen first before you can 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.400 utilize all these new weapons that you have. I give 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.240 the quarterback in the first round draft pick as the answer. 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.000 But it may be obvious, but it's also true, So well, 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.600 that's how you want it. I mean, that's it would 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:54.000 probably be a problem if you didn't feel about um. Sevastian, 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.840 who's watching from Germany, wanted to know if we're sort 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:58.920 of in the second wave of free agency now that 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.120 the draft is over and there are any more potential 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.920 free agents that might be signed now that we know 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.520 who we've gotten in the draft. I think the second 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.319 wave of free agency is actually late March and early April. 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.280 The first wave is just the first couple of days 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.200 when all the really coveted guys get contracts right away 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.600 because teams know they have to act right away. But 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:21.160 then there's generally some pretty decent signings in the back 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.880 half of March and the early days of April. I 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.280 would call this the third wave of free agency. And 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.360 this is when UM teams get done with the draft 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.280 and realized, not realized, but know that there was They 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.280 may have had six things on their shopping list and 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.520 they only got five. They didn't know what that's that 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.000 one they missed was gonna be before the draft. Now 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.960 they know, and so some team might need a fourth 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.840 receiver or another safety for some death or something like that. 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:48.440 So I think we're in the third wave of free 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.080 agency right now. We've already talked a little bit about that. 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.320 The Bucks have been so aggressive and they really were 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.800 fortunate to meet what were there obviously biggest needs in 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.920 free agency. I mean the draft right down to Tyler 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.600 Johnson in the fifth round, the third receiver candidate there. 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.680 So I think at this point for the Buccaneers the 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:10.320 third wave is just about depth. Okay, and Devin asked, 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.800 do you see Donovan Smith moving to right tackle and 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.360 Works playing left tackle? I wouldn't think so, not this year. 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.840 It could happen down the line. I would suspect Donovan 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:23.000 Smith's days of left tackle for UM, the remainder of 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:24.960 at least the remainder of this contract, which has a 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:28.160 couple more years on it. Um. You know, Tristan Works 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.560 has demonstrated that he can play right tackle. We already 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.960 know that. Um. Again, we have to say this a 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.400 lot of times when we talk about Donovan Smith. I 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:41.080 think Pete fans and and and and people that cover 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:45.880 the team maybe don't know the extent to which Diamond 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.280 Smith is valued inside the building. I think that our 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.920 coaches think he's very good. I think they think he 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.280 had his best season last year. I don't foresee them 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.200 making that move because then you basically have two new 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.000 guys at two spots rather than one guy one new guy. 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.320 And I know that it's it's not as easy to 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.240 switch sides as everybody makes it seem, which you know, 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.520 I know, it seems like, oh, they're both tackle positions, 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.400 you just switch sides. But I've talked to multiple guys 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.520 that had played tackle, including Donovan and other guys, and 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.280 asked about it, and they're like, yeah, I mean everything 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.440 is about muscle memory, and you've trained your body to 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.320 be doing everything in this one direction. There'd be a 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.120 learning curve as were just says, yes, it's the same position, 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.080 but your body doesn't just automatically adjust to to doing 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.160 everything is reactionary as it would have on the other side. 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.040 So I don't think that's quite as easy as a 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.280 switch as people seem to think it is. Um Rodney, 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.080 that was that was a good explanation of what I 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.880 was trying to say. Thank you, Yeah, and it's funny 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:44.840 because I I also if people want to google it. 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:46.920 Tristan Works was asked about this and had a very 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.960 funny answer about what it's like to try to switch sides, 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.520 that it's it's a it's a rather colorful answer that 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.440 I'll just let people go google on their own, but 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.720 it is very funny. Rodney asked, what do you think 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:03.280 about Tyler Johnson? Well, I know that they absolutely loved him. Um, 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.560 you know, he was available in the fifth round for 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:10.760 for two reasons. One, there was just so much depth 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.560 in this draft at wide receiver. I think he probably 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:15.199 would have been a second or third round pick in 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:19.000 a normal draft. Uh, in a normal draft class of receivers. 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.200 I did a little look at and did a story 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.520 on buccaneers dot com about how the receivers fell in 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.280 that draft and and as expected, there was a big 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.720 run on just blue chip guys in the first round, 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:34.000 and then there was the run continued all through the 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.920 second round. I mean, the receivers were just flying off 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.959 the board. But when you look at it, you probably 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.800 had most of the teams that had receiver like a 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:45.320 guy they need to be one of their top two 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.439 starters as a need they were able to meet that 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:50.680 in the first and second round, so then there was 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.320 a lull on receivers. Only I think six more went 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:56.600 in the third and fourth round combined, which isn't very 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.560 many at all compared to most years. And my theory 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.800 is that's because all the teams that really felt like 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:03.439 they had to get a number one or two receiver 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:05.680 had met that need in the first and second rounds 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:07.920 because there were so many available. But then there's a lull, 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.240 and then the fifth round came and the Buccaneers got 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.960 the second receiver in that round, and then six more went. 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.960 There were eight receivers taken in the fifth round, and 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.679 you could hear the analysts on TV going, I mean 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:21.959 about three or four him just I can't believe they 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:23.800 got this guy in the fifth round. But that's just 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.520 because what was available. That's the most receivers that have 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:28.840 ever been taken in in any fifth round since the 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:32.240 nineteen seventy merger. So I just think the draft fell 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.480 right for the Buccaneers to get a guy that they 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.600 wouldn't be able to get in normal years if they 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:38.520 wanted to get that safety in that running back in 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.000 the second and third round, and then there are some 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.720 parts of his testing that don't jump off the page 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.359 at you. And he didn't get to run at combine, 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.920 so uh, you know it was probably that because from 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.480
