WEBVTT - Looking Ahead To Bucs Latest First Round Projection | Road to the Draft

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back. I'm a staff writer reporter Breed Dix here

0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>with senior writer and editor Scott Smith. We're in the

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:09.959
<v Speaker 1>Buck Studio presented by Ticketmaster for this week's edition of

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:11.640
<v Speaker 1>To the Draft.

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 2>This is the mic draft I just put up yesterday. Yes,

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:16.759
<v Speaker 2>and I'm glad you're here because you did one the

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:18.599
<v Speaker 2>week before, so we can kind of compare notes a

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 2>little bit as we go along. So two weeks earlier,

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:26.239
<v Speaker 2>I was still pounding the drum on the Titans are

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna sign a veteran starter, They're gonna take a generation

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 2>of talent and worry about the quarterback of the future

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:35.160
<v Speaker 2>next year. That has become increasingly clear that that's not true.

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 2>They have not signed any veterans starter. They're not even

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.639
<v Speaker 2>apparently trying. They're clearly set on cam Orton. I think

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 2>you'd find nobody that disagrees with that at this point.

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 2>So cam Or to the Titans to start the draft.

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Is that what you did as well?

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes? Okay, I feel like there's not a whole lot

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>of consensus in this draft, but it seems to.

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Be this one is now Caim Moore, yes, is going

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.960
<v Speaker 2>to Nashville now, eagle eyed observers would think that we

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 2>have our board wrong here, because you know, the Browns

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 2>are two and the Giants are three. But in my

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.479
<v Speaker 2>most recent draft, I made a trade with the Browns

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:07.559
<v Speaker 2>trading up one spot to the Giants to make sure

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>no I mean the Giants trading up on spot to

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>make sure nobody else jumped them because they wanted to

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 2>get quarterback should Or Sanders. You know, it's the ever,

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 2>it's the always truism of the draft that the quarterbacks rise,

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>and you've seen Shoulder sanders supposed draft stock go up

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 2>and down in recent weeks, but it only takes one

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.679
<v Speaker 2>team to really want him, especially at the team near

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.479
<v Speaker 2>the top that really needs a quarterback. Now, I made

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:37.839
<v Speaker 2>this trade, full disclosure, right before they did the Russell

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Wilson signing. They already had. They already had James Wilson,

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 2>They already had James Winston, but he signed for what

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.399
<v Speaker 2>is clearly backup money. But then Russell Wilson signed. He's

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>obviously going to be their starter this year, and so

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>that might make me a little less sure they're going

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>to trade up a spot. But I still think that

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>neither of those signings takes them out of the quarterback

0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>of the future conversation because Russell Wilson's only under contract

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 2>for one year and it's middling starting money, so he's

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 2>clearly a bridge quarterback. I can still see them going

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.959
<v Speaker 2>for the quarterback of the future and the Browns trade

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 2>down and get Abdulla Carter. Okay, okay, So filled in

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.399
<v Speaker 2>some of these others. I wanted to point out number

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 2>six because I think this is becoming I've done it

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>two drafts in a row, and I think he's becoming

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.639
<v Speaker 2>a popular pick. Ashton Genty, Boise State running back, really

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 2>dynamic talent, right like, one of the best, maybe the

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 2>best running back prospect to come out since Saquon Yeah,

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.679
<v Speaker 2>depending on how you feel about John Robinson. This is

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>a team that got their new quarterback in Geno Smith.

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 2>They've got some nice weapons, they have Brock powers, but

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 2>they had the worst running rushing attack in the league. Yeah,

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 2>so you apparently had a slightly unusual pick.

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I did, right, Mine was a little bit of unorthodox,

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>but I kind of similar with what you did with

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:55.359
<v Speaker 1>the Giants. I went ahead and still did Sedor Sanders

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>going to the Raiders after the Yes, but Geno Smiths

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>thirty five years old. I think, you know, they have

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>to look at the future, and I think it's been

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of noted and well documented Tom Brady's relationship and

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of been that mentor to Sanders. So if Pete Carroll,

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>if John Spytech like his ability, and I think he

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>can kind of be that developmental prospect. So I still

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>like him going to.

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.359
<v Speaker 2>The Well, then where did you put Ashton Genty?

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.959
<v Speaker 1>I had him going to the Bears at number ten.

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I think they have kind of bulked up the interior

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>of the offensive line. Should get a guy to kind

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 1>of take some of that pressure off Caleb Williams and

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of reinvigorate.

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 2>All Right, I can see it. I really could see

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Ashton Genty going to a whole lot of different places

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 2>in this range. Right here, I think his stock is now, yeah,

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 2>that's the most common one, right but I think at

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 2>this point a lot a lot of mincrafts are having

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 2>him go before Dallas, even as a shot. The reason

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to highlight Dallas's pick is because I gave

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 2>them g had Campbell, Ghid Campbell, the Alabama linebacker, And

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 2>the reason I point that out is I think that's

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 2>a guy that the Keneers would be interested at nineteen,

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>but I have not done a draft in weeks where

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 2>he's still available at nineteen. So and what did you

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 2>do here for the Cowboys?

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I had the Cowboys since Gent was already off the board,

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I had them taking Luther Burdon, ok, kind of adding

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>another target for DK Prescott. And I think Missouri kind

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 1>of used him their offense to kind of build off

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 1>of his yards after catchability. And I see the Cowboys

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of diversifying his usage a little bit, and I

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 1>think he could be a good compliment to Ceedeland.

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Right, Okay, cool, moving on down a little bit. The

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 2>reason I wanted to point out this pick, this is

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.159
<v Speaker 2>another trade we had to trade in my MIC draft.

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.040
<v Speaker 2>We had to trade here, so you'll see those two

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 2>aren't in the normal order. The Cardinals seeing Will Johnson

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 2>fall a little bit trade up to make sure they

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 2>get their guy. And here the Rams traded from twenty

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:52.719
<v Speaker 2>six with Seattle up to eighteen, and they want John Barron.

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.359
<v Speaker 2>And to me, I think the reason being there is

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.599
<v Speaker 2>after Will Johnson and Johnny Barron and Travis Hunter, if

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 2>you count him as a quarterback, I think there's a

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 2>gap between that and the next group of cornerbacks, and

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 2>so they make the bold move to move up here

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 2>to get the guy rather than wait for whatever falls

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 2>to them. I think Jahday barn is a great player,

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 2>and I point this out because that's a guy I

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 2>would love to see the Buccaneers get at nineteen. But

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 2>well they don't hear because and I honestly, the Rams

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 2>or any team that is trading up to eighteen to

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>take a guy like Johddy Baron is probably thinking, hey,

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 2>he could go at nineteen. So that's why I think

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>that would happen. And now we get to the Bucks pick,

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 2>and that is for me Donovan as a rock up

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Boston College ed rusher, I love the idea of us

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 2>getting an edge rusher in the first round, particularly if

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Johnny Barn and Jihad Campbell are already off the board.

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 2>This is a guy with lots of production and if

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>it gets down to it, if you ask me Todd Bowles,

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Jason Light, all of their people working for them, when

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.799
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the idea of production versus like raw skills,

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 2>like a Shamar Stewart kind, I think they would tend

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>to lean towards reduction. Now we know that Mike Green

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 2>had seventeen and a half sacks. He had sixteen and

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.039
<v Speaker 2>a half sacks last year, twenty one tackles for lost

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 2>three force fumbles. This is a guy that had the

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>production and then he went to the combine, and he

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 2>did quite well at the combine, particularly in the three

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>cone drill and the short shuttle drill, and those are

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 2>measuring both like your acceleration and your change direction and

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 2>your quick you know, short space speed, which is what

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 2>you need out of a pass rusher. Right, So that's

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 2>why I think you look at him. He's six two eight,

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 2>he says he can probably get up to two fifty

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 2>five and still play the same. There may be a

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a question about how well he sets

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the run against the edge against the run, but you know,

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:41.919
<v Speaker 2>in our rotation, we already have a couple of guys

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 2>that do that well, like yai Ya Diyami, right, and

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Nelson. I'm talking about the edge guys, okay. So

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 2>if you could throw a guy in there that maybe

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.600
<v Speaker 2>need to work on his run defense a little bit,

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>but he's a pure pass rusher, I think there's room

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 2>for that in the Buccaneers edge roch rotation. Now you

0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 2>add him, you got Hassan Redick, and you've taken what

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 2>was as Todd Bowles himself has pointed out a couple

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 2>times already since the season, they need to get more

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.160
<v Speaker 2>pressure off the edge, specifically and when only rushing four.

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 2>So you've taken a spot that was a bit of

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 2>a weakness for the Bucks last year and now maybe

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 2>you can turn it into a strength. There's I always

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>loved the idea of these double dips at positions or

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 2>in free agency in the draft. So you got Hassan

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Reddick and now Donovan as a Rock. Now you had

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 2>a draft a week before. Who did you guess?

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>So I kind of had the same theology when I

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>did mine. And I don't think you can have too

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>many edge rushers. And I don't think necessarily getting your

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>son Reddick having Anthony Nelson, I don't think that prohibits

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>you from getting and edge. And I just think this

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>draft particularly is so deep at the edge position. So

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>in terms of value, I really liked in mind mckel

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Williams was still there at nineteen and I think he's

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>a guy that you know, Todd Bowles has talked a

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 1>lot about wanting a guy that finishes plays, gets to

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback, but also disrupts, whether that's getting stripsacks, whether

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>that's getting the batted passes. And that is exactly what

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.280
<v Speaker 1>makes Tell Williams has done throughout his tenure. And again

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have a huge sample size, but you have

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>the explosion you have to speed.

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Over.

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Thirty percent of his tackles resulted in a loss. He

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 1>finishes through the whistle, and I just think he's kind

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>of a Todd Bowles and Jason Light.

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Type of player. Well, as you can see in my

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>MIC draft, he was already off the board. Yeah, so

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 2>they would have to trade up to get him in

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Fit one. So in this case, he's gone, We go

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 2>with him. And I wanted to point out one more

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>pick after us, and that's the Steelers, because I gave

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 2>them Jackson Dart, the old most quarterback in I think

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of quo. I think there's a bit

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 2>of divisiveness about him. Is this a guy you take

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.079
<v Speaker 2>in the high second round or is somebody going to

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.559
<v Speaker 2>move on him in the first round. And again, quarterbacks

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 2>tend to rise. Pittsburgh needs a court. They may or

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 2>may not get Aaron Rodgers. They clearly need a quarterback

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.439
<v Speaker 2>and a quarterback of the future. I think this guy

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 2>has impressed a lot of people with his skills. So

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 2>who did you put here? At twenty one?

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I had him taking Jean de Baron, so I had

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.640
<v Speaker 1>them going more of the veteran QB route as well.

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 1>So obviously when I did mine, Russell Wilson was still

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>in play. So you have potentially Aaron Rodgers. But I

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>just think Johnny Barron just kind of seems like a

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Steeler's kind of guy's physical nickel. He can cross train

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 1>at safety, great kind of mitigating the middle of the field.

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 1>So I think I could see him having success in Pittsburgh.

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>But I mean he's a guy that honestly could go

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.319
<v Speaker 1>a lot higher. He seems to be rising, could be

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.840
<v Speaker 1>a guy that the Bucks also go go for. At nineteen.

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you put Jadday Baron here, as means he

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.640
<v Speaker 2>was on the board when you took the Ed Rusher here.

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 2>I have to admit that in my miccraft, if Jadday

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Baron had made it to hear, I would have taken him.

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 2>But I'm always the you can't have too many corners guys, right,

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that said, you can watch, you can look

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 2>at the rest of it here you can read on

0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 2>buccaneers dot com or on the app about you know

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 2>why I think these picks went as they did, and

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, we've still got a little bit to so

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 2>we'll do a few more of these. But that's where

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:03.680
<v Speaker 2>we are right now.

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And that does it for this week's episode of

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Road to the Draft, and stay tuned next week for

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.440
<v Speaker 1>a closer look as we get closer to the Draft

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:14.840
<v Speaker 1>at the end of April.
