It’s been some time since the draft, and everything is settling in. I will be going over the schedule briefly sometime this week and talking about some expectations.

[Tampa Bay Buccaneers @Buccaneers]

Bain 🤝 Bane

[RAS.football @MathBomb]

The Buccaneers ranked 1 of 32 for Average #RAS of their 2026 draft class with a 9.68 average for their 4 players who had a score.

Bucs take TE Bauer Sharp in the 6th round

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

@surfrenegade There goes your guy to AZ.

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

Jordan Van Den Berg is another prospect that I absolutely love the idea of drafting.

He projects as a 3 tech but also has the ability to sometimes slide into a 1/2 role.

Van Den Berg is an athletic freak and would slide into this Tampa D line nicely.

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

Tampa tightens up the offensive line with OG Billy Schrauth out of Notre Dame.

Can’t ever complain about trench help!

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

5th round selection is DeMonte Capehart.

Not head over heels with this one, but I will say that he’s pretty athletic and could provide decent depth.

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

Keionte Scott is a great selection in the 4th round. Really happy with that one.

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

Bucs select Ted Hurst in Rd3 as their “Evans replacement”. The 6’4 WR from Georgia State shows a lot of promise and the Bucs felt that that was their guy at the spot.

Way to move back and gain capital.

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

Tampa traded 77 for 84 and 160

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

Bucs traded out of their 3rd round pick

The Bucs select Josiah Trotter in round 2! A legacy Buccaneer at a position of need at LB.

Seems like they got the guy they wanted.

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

Sucks to see Rodriguez go so close to Tampa’s pick

[NFL @NFL]

With the No. 15 overall pick in the 2026 @NFLDraft, the @Buccaneers select Rueben Bain Jr. @NewEraCap

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

Coming into tonight, there was no world where I imagined that Bain would fall in our lap at 15.

This pick really sets us up nicely for the rest of the draft.

You could not ask for a better first round if you’re a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan.

[Garbage Time Rays @garbagetimerays]

MOOD

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

LETS GO! BUCCANEER BAIN!

This was the absolute best case scenario coming into tonight

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

Please tell me this plays out how I’m hoping it does…

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

Hopefully not MY team. Would love to add this stud and a pass rusher on day 2.

[Pete Prisco @PriscoCBS]

When we look back on this draft in five years, Jacob Rodriquez will be a big-time linebacker who teams passed on in the first round. He’s a playmaker.

[Garbage Time Buccaneers @GarbageTimeBucs]

Ideally tonight, I’d really like to see a trade back to pick up some capital and then either Malachi Lawrence or Jacob Rodriguez or both if the stars align in the second round tomorrow

Really excited with the uncertainty surrounding not only this Bucs pick, but the whole draft
