WEBVTT - Breaking Down Bucs’ Defensive Depth | Bucs Insider | Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:03.000 Welcome into Bucks Insider, coming to you from the Bucks Studio, 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:06.000 presented by Ticketmaster Casey Phillips here with Bree Dix, and 0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:09.560 it is one week today, one week from today, we 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:10.799 are going to have the NFL Draft. 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:11.480 Let's go. 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:13.960 We have looked at this thing every which way to 0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:17.480 Sunday pun intended, and man, I mean it's just going 0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:18.759 to be so fun to see. I think there's a 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:20.919 lot of really fun storylines. So we've been doing Road 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:23.040 to the Draft, which means every week separate from Insider, 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.480 we've been doing a lot of draft discussion, but now 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:27.040 that we're one week out, we wanted to bring it 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:28.960 into here as well. But we figured instead of just 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:31.680 looking at prospects that's a lot of what we've done 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:33.919 on what road to the Draft, we wanted to look 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:37.159 at the Bucks roster itself, some of these different positions 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:40.040 that feel like they're some of the highly mocked to 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:43.680 us positions. Look at the roster, see what the depth 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.280 looks like, see who could be most impacted by a 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.720 draft pick. So that's what we're going to do today. 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.600 We're gonna start with these were gonna be all defensive guys, 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:53.640 just because we know that has been one of the 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.440 more mocked things to us again, Coach Jason Everyone has 0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.639 made it clear that does not mean the Bucks will 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.160 not be rafting anybody offensively. But we've seen a lot 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.360 of people time on defensive positions. So let's go ahead 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.200 and start here with our defensive line. So looking at 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.000 this roster, and we have, of course, we know we 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:15.360 start Vita Collijah Budget. Yeah, yes, one to the end, 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.480 very easy. Those are our big, top, main superstar kind 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.520 of guys. But we wanted to kind of look at 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.960 this group of people here and I bolded here Greg 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.120 Gaines and Logan Hall because I think they're some of 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.920 the more interesting ones of you know, Logan Hall really 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.319 did seem to make a big jump this last year, 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.039 and I thought that was really interesting and great for 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.760 him as a former pretty high draft pick. Greg Gaines 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.280 has been able to step in spell Vita Vea when 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.080 he needs done some really great things. You see a 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.399 lot of these other names here in your mind as 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.240 we look at the likelihood of the Bucks getting defensive 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.800 linemen in the draft, how much of a priority or not, 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.960 and how who would be kind of mainly impacted As 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:52.559 you look at. 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.120 This right, well, I think the Bucks, as we've kind 0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:00.360 of talked about, have put themselves in perfect position where 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.360 when the draft gets here, you've added depth at the 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.160 correct position. So now at pick nineteen, the Bucks don't 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.480 feel like they have to reach or press to get 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.919 a specific position in order to have success. You can 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.799 take the best player available, and whether that's an offensive player, 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.480 whether that is defense. They resigned Greg Gaines, who, as 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.720 you mentioned, he's kind of that primary sub for v 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.440 to aa ut nose tackle, but in some of those 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:31.040 short yardage yardage situations he's also been key in kind 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.000 of helping stop the run. He's physical at the point 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.200 of attack, so he's made an impact in Lonlike you 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.240 mentioned Logan Hall as a guy that's kind of really 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.040 come into his own. It seems like the game has 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.480 slowed down for him, and I think in one of 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.120 your discussions with Casey Rodgers he was saying, you know, 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:49.040 for Logan Hall, he's a guy that his sack numbers 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:53.040 have increased, and that's even more impressive considering he's that 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.480 guy that typically is running off the field on those 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.040 third down situations where pass rushers are able to get 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.200 to the quarterback. So I think he stepped up also 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.000 enough to where the bucks are in a good plate 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:09.400 place along along the front, I think kind of maybe 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.200 looking more like inside linebacker getting guys in the secondary, 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:17.040 I feel like at on the defensive line, they're in 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:17.800 a good position. 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:19.280 I agree, and I think that's what we wanted to 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.280 kind of highlight looking at the guys like Logan and 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.160 Greg who've stepped up where we know we already have 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.760 kind of superstar level guys with Beat and Klaijah. Of 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.320 the positions and especially on defense that is not necessarily, 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.919 not necessarily the position you feel is the most needed. 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.440 So let's move on to one that maybe is more so, 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.200 which is the outside linebacker edge whatever you want to 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.520 call it position. So as we take a look at 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:44.400 whoall is currently on our roster, there you see that 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.680 we bolded these three names here, Chris braswell, Anthony Nelson 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.200 and Jose Ramirez because again same thing. I feel like 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.120 they're going to be some of the most interesting ones 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.520 to decide as if you do draft an edge guy, 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.720 and then depending on how high that it looks like 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.200 starters this year, again, we know we feel pretty good 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.320 about the idea of Hassan Reddit coming in being a 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.080 big time player. Yah yah Dyabi stepping in right there. 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.960 But man, Anthony Nelson, I love how coach always calls 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.000 him steady Eddie, steady Eddie, that you know when he 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:13.600 goes in there, he knows what to do, he knows 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.000 where to be. I mean, he made maybe the biggest 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.359 play of the entire season last sure. Yeah, so I 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.240 think that that's been really great. And then Chris Braswell 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.520 is to me the big sort of question mark of 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.760 we hear a lot about guys taking a big leap 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.719 from year one to year two at any position, but 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.840 especially edge and especially in Coach Bowls defense, because they 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.560 get asked to do a lot of things. Yes, they 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.680 get asked to drop, they get asked stuff that they 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.840 haven't necessarily done always in college. And so when I've 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.400 talked to guys that help coach that position room, they're 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.240 always talking about how, yeah, that's a tough one to 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.120 adjust to that first year. And so I do feel 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.080 like it'll be cool to see how much he takes 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:57.680 that year one year two leap. But and then Jose Ramirez, 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.680 that's that's the guy that we know. They like, They've 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.400 kept around the practice squad, kept him around a lot 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.960 of different times. So how much do they feel like 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:06.920 he could take a step up or is this where 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.200 you look at those names and it's yeah, you know what, 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.160 we either need someone who could really make sure that 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.440 they're coming in on those rotations doing a lot, or 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.919 who knows, are you looking for someone to be the 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.400 starter over Yaya or Hassan depending on again, where you 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.560 draft this position and if you do well. 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:27.400 And I think now you're kind of hitting that the 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:31.679 critical point where you can see the ability paid dividends, 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.600 you know, learning in the first year. And I really 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.640 think too you look at a guy like Yaya Dabi 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.080 that he had a lot of success in the rookie 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.640 year and even though the SAC numbers may not have 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.480 been there this past year, but he was still affecting 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.720 the quarterback and I think he's a guy that's kind 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.479 of found a way to harness that power that was 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.400 the big thing and one of the reasons they drafted him. 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.359 And I think in a similar way with Chris braswell, 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.600 he's continuing to kind of figure out how to unleash 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.760 that be it and kind of how to harness that 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.320 because he's a guy that you know has the burst 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.960 off the snap has the acceleration to flatten the pocket, 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.880 and those are qualities that the Bucks really liked. But 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.159 it's okay, how can you add that to your arsenal 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.960 and how can that help you have success? But also 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.760 filling in in that rotation and having an opportunity to 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.800 get to the quarterback and a lot of guys you know, 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.600 are trying to get the ball out quicker. They're going 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.880 with short passing attempts to try and mitigate that Bucks 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.080 pass rush because everybody knows that Todd Bowles is going 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.640 to bring guys. So I think you'll see a little 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.200 bit more of Chris Brassewl this year. And also, like 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.279 you said, Jose Ramirez, a guy that they really seem 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:41.800 to like and is putting in the work. And even 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.800 though he hasn't been active for many games, you know 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.960 he can push through the tight end chips and he 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.479 can affect the pocket as well. So I think they're in. 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.080 When you look down at the depth with that position, 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.040 you get excited about guys like Hassan Reddick in the 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.200 way that Todd Bules can use them, and it's not 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.280 you know, I took in my latest mark, I took 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.159 an edge I think in the fourth round. And that's 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.599 just I mean, it's so deep at corner. You've got 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:10.960 a lot of inside linebackers at the front of the draft, 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.880 so I think you're gonna have a lot of places 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.400 where you can get guys because I think a lot 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.000 of the top edges are going to go earlier than 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.800 a lot of people think. The guys like of course 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.800 Abdul Carter is supposed to go in the top three. 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:28.200 You have Michael Williams that continues to rise, a guy 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.640 like Donovan as a rock who might be there at nineteen. 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.320 But I think they're in a great spot with the 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:34.520 guys that they have on the roster. 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:36.120 All right, So then let's move on to another one 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.000 of those You've talked about, linebacker, the inside linebacker position. 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.160 So this is one that of all the positions this 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:46.160 offseason felt the most influx of what could happen because 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:47.960 you for a while there, I mean, we didn't know 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.240 if we had a line like dang near everyone in 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.240 that room was a free agent. We had no idea 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.040 who was going to be coming back, what that was 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.400 going to look like. Now, thank goodness, LaMonte David is 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.480 back to continue anchoring that position, but then who's playing 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.000 next to him and in what capacity that we saw 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.160 a lot of the you know, tag team efforts last 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.760 year until there were injuries that didn't allow that as much. 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.360 And I know we bolded here Anthony Walker and Servasia 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.480 Adnis because of course these are the guys at this 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.720 point with who we have on the roster who are 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.080 really competing for that starting role next to Levante. I 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.080 know they think that, you know, Servasier, They're very excited 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.360 about him, were excited about him last year prior to 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.800 him getting hurt, So hoping that this year now coming 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.720 in healthy, that you feel like maybe Levante Servasier, you're 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:32.040 happy with that starting duo. But there's a lot unknown here. 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:33.920 It is really great to see you have Anthony Walker 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.280 now who has some experience, where last year it felt 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.319 like anyone that got hurt, the person who was coming 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.240 in for them was just green as green could be, 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.720 didn't have a lot of experience, was having a learn 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.400 on the fly. At least now you do have somebody 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.160 like an Anthony Walker that has more experience. But I 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.160 do feel like this is a position where, again, even 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.320 if it's not for competing for the starting job this year. 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.360 As much as Levante does seem like an ageless wonder, theoretically, 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.880 at some point he's not going to either be here 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:02.520 or be playing at the level he's been, which again, 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.240 it doesn't seem like it's happening any times and in 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.800 the way he's done it. But I do think that 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.000 this is a position that both for potentially this year 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.080 and then especially in years to come, could be a 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:12.280 big one to target. 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:16.160 Right well, And I love to the so Anthony Walker 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.280 Junior is a guy that you know, is a Miami 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.520 native with Levante, and they have familiarity with one another, 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.640 you know, I think they've talked about wanting to play 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.640 with each other for many years, and they kind of 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.199 train together in the off season. So I think they 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.480 have a good understanding. He already coming in has an 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.600 understanding of kind of maybe some of the nuances of 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.400 Levante David's game, and of course some of the speed 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.600 elements or the athleticism things with him may not quite 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.400 be what they were when he first started out, But 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.840 I think it's the instincts that kind of sets Levante apart. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.760 But then you also have you know, Savasi Dennis that 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:54.960 they have really liked, especially his ability in coverage kind 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.560 of being an impact on third down, but also you know, 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.560 his his ability in against the run as well. They've 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:08.160 mentioned and then Anthony Walker too has kind of talked 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.800 about his ability to kind of erase things over the 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:12.440 middle of the field because that was an area that 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.480 the Buckscot exposed that a little bit last year. So 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:19.400 really they've prioritized, it seems, getting guys that have that 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.360 ability in coverage to kind of mitigate some of those 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.199 things over the middle of the field or the comebacks 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.040 of the digs or any of those things. So maybe 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.960 getting a guy in the draft that kind of has 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:34.079 that the downhill trigger, that ability at not only maybe 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.319 making an impact at rushing the pastor but also has 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.079 the potential to kind of shut down the run and 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.240 kind of be that minuce that they need along with 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.760 Levante David and some of the passing ability things. 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.200 Yeah, so now, okay, let's talk defensive backs because I 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:49.840 know this, I mean, we're gonna kind of lump this 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.080 all together safety and corner, but this is a group 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.160 that I know you've discussed the depth of this draft 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.720 at these spots, and I do think this is an 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.760 area that, as we always say, as Scott Smith loves 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.480 to say, you can never have enough, especially corners, but 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.319 secondary members overall. So we on this graphic kind of 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:09.600 split it up safety to corner, and I bolded the 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.640 names Christianism and Tykee Smith and Bryce Hall because you know, 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.400 I think that everyone saw last year your starters Jamel Dean, 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.720 Zion McCollum. You were pretty happy with those starters and 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.280 would most likely be that way again this year, unless 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.199 again you spend maybe a first round pick on a 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.800 corner and you know, how are you trying to add 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.040 to that group? Does that supplant one of those guys 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:31.640 or not? But Bryce Hall's a guy that I think 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.520 a lot of times Bucks fans have forgotten about because 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.640 he got hurt Week one, but he was slated to 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.120 be that number three guy that would have made a 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.280 really big difference with those injuries if he hadn't gotten 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.520 hurt himself. Where you know, last year you're having to 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.840 put in a Tyrek Funderberg who was just so green 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.440 and so young. Bryce was supposed to be that next 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.319 man up and he ended up getting hurt. So I 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:51.920 think that's a very important one that he is now 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.960 back this year. How healthy is he able to be 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.040 so looking at that corner position? And then safety wise, 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:58.960 this is where I think it gets even more interesting. 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.880 Tykee Smith and Christian is In. Both of these guys 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.240 prove that they can be sort of that Swiss army knife. 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.920 I mean, Christianisi into the max playing every position now 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.120 in command. But there's been mentioned of do you want 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.000 to move Tykee Smith more to that starting safety spot 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.280 as compared to that nickel You know, what does that 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:17.959 do for both of these position groups of depending on 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:19.920 if you draft a safety high or if you draft 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.079 a corner high, how does that affect what you want 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.240 to do with TAIKEI? How does that effect that you 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.960 want to do with Christianisi in? And in general, I mean, 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.199 we know Antoine Winfield hold down that one spot, but 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.200 who are you putting next to him? And how does 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.599 who you draft for either safety or corner affect that? 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.480 I think I really like what you mentioned about kind 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:41.800 of having taikifil that role because he primarily was the 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.360 nickel guy that kind of disrupted slot receivers, kind of 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.559 mitigating things in that underneath area of the field. So 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.440 I feel like having him come in at strong safety 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.120 be kind of in the box, and that allows Anchewan 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.520 Winfield to play free safety kind of be in the post. 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.679 He has that awareness, he has the range, I think 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:03.640 that will kind of solidify things there. And then having 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:07.280 the ability of Christianiznian, who can play multiple different things, 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.320 who's cross trained at yeah, every position imaginable and then 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.240 even played corner position that he hadn't played since high school. 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:15.920 Gives you kind of the freedom. 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.679 And then Bryce Hall coming off, you know, the dissocated 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:22.120 ankle injury. But and the good thing about corner once 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.120 again is you have a lot of there's great talent 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.040 in guys that are expected to go in the first 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.240 or on with like Will Johnson or Jade Baron or 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.240 different guys. But then you also have a ton of 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:37.839 talent in those middle rounds like Trey Amos and No 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.880 Williams and Schevan Revel Junior. And there's there's a lot 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.959 of talent also in those middle rounds that say the 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.920 Bucks end up going insideline backer in the first round 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.480 or end up going receiver whoever they have highest on 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.840 their board, then that frees you up to be able 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.160 to get a solid, good, good corner in the second 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.839 round and then there's enough depth that you can even 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.319 double it maybe in some of those later rounds that 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.040 you've got a lot of guys that are really athletic, 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.600 have that speed element that Todd Bowles really likes. 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.800 And have those ball skills yep for sure. All Right, Well, 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.199 that kind of covers the defensive side of things. We 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.400 wanted to highlight going into the draft of where we're 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.839 at on those different depth charts and position groups and 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.600 what that might mean for the draft coming next week. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.080 We also wanted to mind everybody of the off season 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.680 schedule that as wild as it is, we're talking so 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.920 much about draft, but the current guys a lot of 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.720 them are coming back in the building now that we 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.640 have starting next week is officially the beginning of the 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.720 off season program. So yeah, take us through a little 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.880 bit of these dates, breed and what that's going to 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:38.800 look like this offseason. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.920 Yes, so the first day of off season workouts is 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.720 April twenty first, So OTA off season workouts is going 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.560 to be May twenty seventh through thirtieth, and then June 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:52.360 second through fifth, and then mandatory mini camp, which will 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.360 be a thing I think we're all looking at all 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.640 the veterans coming in mixing with the rookies will be 0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.120 June tenth through. 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.880 Twelveth yep, So this part that's starting now next week, 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:04.760 the twenty first. That's where you get the phase one, 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:06.760 two and three. Those are the areas where it's like, 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.120 all right, you can be working out here, but coaches 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:10.520 can't be here. Oh now you can be doing a 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:12.160 little bit more that That's how it progresses through that 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.360 phase one, two and three. So really first phase is 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.120 like a lot of conditioning is like the majority of it, 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.360 not a lot of football happening. Ramps up all the 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.240 way through that mandatory mini camp. But it is really 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.640 exciting to think that officially next week it's starting that 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.760 we're going to view that it is football. Is that 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.240 even though there's going to be no football's really at 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.360 least at the beginning. And then we wanted to close 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.800 with our sort of human interest off the field stuff 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.280 that we love to do. That wanted to highlight that 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.960 the Bucks participated this last Saturday night in the National 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.880 Pediatric Cancer Foundation Fashion Funds the Cure Gala. It was 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.240 so fun, So basically this is a fashion show, so 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.280 I got to do it alongside a few of our 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:52.560 players cheer fear everybody. So Rayquan O'Neil, lorenz Metz were 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.200 incredible at this. They crushed it. And then we were 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.640 also joined by a Raised player as well, because sweet 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:01.840 little Exavion right there, Flexen, he wants to be a 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.320 professional athlete. He is currently playing both football and baseball. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.800 So what we did was everyone what this is is 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:13.240 basically all these kids who are either currently fighting cancer 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.120 or cancer survivors, they get to come to a fashion 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.200 show with like real models and real cool clothes, and 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:20.840 then they also get a chance to do a walk 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.320 with what they consider their quote role models of whatever 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.080 they want to do for a living someday. They walk 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.960 with those people and you put on a whole skit. 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.080 So I got up and got to announce that he 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.760 was the buccketeers first overall draft pick this year, and 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.680 then I was like, and he's also apparently the Rays 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.160 first overall pick, and then the Raised guy came in 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:40.800 put a little jersey on him for the rais and 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:43.440 it was just so wonderful, and I wanted to shout 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.880 out lorenz Metz and Rayqwan O'Neill. They were so great 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.280 with him, so great with everyone at that. But yeah, 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.720 just an incredible cause and amazing nights. If you've never 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.880 been highly recommended going next year. It is a truly 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.680 adorable event. They bring in these It was at the 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.600 Motor Enclave, so they bring in all these really fancy cars. 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.960 That's who drops the kids off that the car actually 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.600 pulls through the event. They dropped the kids off there, 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.440 the full grand experience, yes, and it's truly amazing. So 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.600 I was very appreciative to be involved in that and 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.480 shout out E's Avion fighting the good fight. He was 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.840 a very cute little kid. So that is going to 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.040 do it for us on this edition of Buccaneers Insider. 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:21.560 Thank you so much for being with us, and we'll 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.160 see you next week when it's time for the Draft.
