Definitely, it's a great location. Worked there for camp in 2013 and it's a helluva facility (so much nicer than the old One Buc Place).
I'll be interested to see the reactions to people seeing how America's Quarterback really is, instead of just believing ESPN telling them he's a thug raper.
Jordan Willis Budda Baker Adoree Jackson Charles Harris David Njoku Of those 5, who is the best pick at 19?
We already invested in Vernon, but Adoree is legit. Need Edge, so maybe Willis, but I'd go Harris over Willis tbh Njoku for the TE we need but he'll be gone before 19. Our safeties suck, we need Budda
Adoree Jackson upgrades the secondary and gives us a potential elite Return Specialist with the possibility to play a little offense as well. Of those 5, that would be my pick.
Baker. We've seen what Jameis can do with no receivers. We've also seen what the defense does with no safeties.

It's fun to think of us getting Dalvin because I love the guy. But please god give us Budda a TE and another WR(Josh Reynolds)
http://www.espn.com/blog/tampa-bay-...mon-headlines-best-draft-picks-for-buccaneers The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected 496 players in the past 40 years of the franchise's existence. Here’s a look at the best draft picks by position for the Bucs: Spoiler OFFENSE Quarterback: Doug Williams, first round, 1978. Vinny Testaverde might be the Bucs' all-time passing leader, but Williams led the Bucs to the 1979 NFC Championship Game, the first time the franchise had ever been to the playoffs, and he led them to the playoffs three times in four years. He later became a Super Bowl MVP with the Washington Redskins. There's a reason he's in the Buccaneers Ring of Honor despite spending just five years with the club. Running back: James Wilder, second round, 1981, Missouri. Wilder still holds the record as the Bucs' all-time leader in rushing yards (5,957) and receptions (430). He made the Pro Bowl in 1984 and was a second-team All-Pro that season. Fullback: Mike Alstott. Arguably the most beloved Buc in franchise history, the "A-Train" reached the Pro Bowl six times. He was the first Buc to cross the goal line in Super Bowl XXXVII and was inducted into the Buccaneer Ring of Honor in 2015. Wide receiver: Mike Evans, first round, 2014, Texas A&M. Mark Carrier might be the Bucs' all-time leading receiver with 5,018 receiving yards and 27 touchdowns, but Evans could very well shatter that record in his fourth year, while it took Carrier six years to do so. He already has matched Carrier's touchdown production. Tight end: Ron Hall, fourth round, 1987, Hawaii. Jimmie Giles is, by far, the Bucs' greatest tight end, but a lot of people forget that he wasn't drafted by Tampa, which means Hall gets the nod. Hall started 90 games in seven seasons for the Bucs, with his best season coming in 1988, when he had 39 receptions for 555 yards. Tackle: Paul Gruber, first round, 1988, Wisconsin. The only offensive lineman in the Buccaneers Ring of Honor, Gruber was named an All-Pro twice and started 183 games, a record Derrick Brooks would break in 2007. Guard: Davin Joseph, first round, 2006, Oklahoma. When the Bucs finally decided to invest a first-round draft pick in an offensive lineman, it was a breath of fresh air. He reached the Pro Bowl twice. Center: Tony Mayberry, fourth round, 1990, Wake Forest. Mayberry played for the Bucs from 1990 to 1999 and reached three Pro Bowls. He never missed a single start in nine straight seasons. DEFENSE End: Lee Roy Selmon, first round, 1976, Oklahoma. The first draft pick in franchise history and a pillar for the organization on and off the field, Selmon, aka the "Gentle Giant," reached six Pro Bowls and was the 1979 Defensive Player of the Year. No one did more for the organization or the community than Selmon, right up until his passing in 2011. Selmon was the Bucs' only Pro Football Hall of Famer until Warren Sapp was enshrined in Canton in 2013. He was also the first Buccaneer to have his number retired, in 1986. Tackle: Warren Sapp, first round, 1995, Miami. Seven Pro Bowls, four AP first-team All-Pros, a member of the NFL's 1990s and 2000s all-decade teams, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and Buccaneers Ring of Honor member. He had a whopping 96.5 sacks (77 of which came as a Buc). Also deserving recognition here: the late David Logan, a two-time All-Pro who spent eight seasons with the Bucs and passed away at the age of 42. Linebacker: Derrick Brooks, first round, 1995, Florida State. Brooks reached the Pro Bowl a whopping 11 times and was named an All-Pro nine times. He was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2002, the year he led the Bucs to a Super Bowl XXXVII win. In 2014, he became the Bucs' third player inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Cornerback: Ronde Barber, third round, 1997, Virginia. Barber wasn't used as a traditional cornerback -- he recorded 28 career sacks and 47 interceptions -- but he was exactly what the Bucs needed to successfully operate the Tampa-2 defense. His pick-six in the 2002 NFC Championship Game is widely regarded by Bucs fans as the greatest play in franchise history. Safety: John Lynch, third round, 1993, Stanford. Lynch was instrumental in ushering in the Tony Dungy era in Tampa. A nine-time Pro Bowler, he reached the Pro Bowl five times with the Bucs. He holds the rare distinction of not just being in the Buccaneers Ring of Honor, but also the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame. SPECIAL TEAMS Kicker: Martin Gramatica, third round, 1999, Kansas State. Remember the days of "Buc Ball," when the defense carried the team and Gramatica was their only source of offense? Many games were won by "Automatica," and he remains the franchise's all-time leading scorer. Punter: Chris Mohr, sixth round, 1989, Alabama. Mohr spent just one season with the Bucs but would go on to play 15 seasons in the NFL, and he made three appearances in the Super Bowl for the Buffalo Bills. So the debate for the best QB the Bucs have drafted was between Doug Williams and Vinny Testaverde? I'd also give a slight edge to Warrick Dunn over James Wilder Sr.
Seeing more and more speculation of us drafting Cook in the first. I doubt he's there at 19 and I don't want a RB in the first...but we're the Bucs and we'll probably do that
Same, we aren't in a dire need for a RB to call for one to be drafted in the 1st. Of course, all of these mocks, especially this week, is fodder/click bait.
On Cook: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers really like Cook and will strongly consider him if he's on the board at No. 19. The concerns with Cook are who he surrounds himself with, so keeping him in the state of Florida would be a risk, considering that's where he went to college and grew up (Miami).
As a Florida State Buccaneer, bring on Dalvo. We'd probably have one of the best offensive in the league with the addition of him and Jackson. Plus whatever else they get. Not saying it's the smartest, just saying I'm bias and would be excited.
I've followed him since high school and have literally never heard this. ESPN is still so salty about Jameis that every Nole gets this shit. That said, hope they're right and he falls to 2.19
I'd be surprised if we took Dalvin at 1.19. However, if he falls and is still there after a few picks in the 2nd, I wouldn't be shocked if Licht traded up. But apparently we've been showing a lot of interest in Samaje Perine and other day 3 backs. I think with that and wanting to see what they have with Martin, they pass on Cook. Ideal scenario (unless Barnett falls to 19) is we swap picks with someone like Seattle or KC, take Budda Baker or Jordan Williis, and then use our extra pick we receive to trade up in the 2nd for someone that falls (like Cook or Corey Davis) or to at least ensure we don't miss out on another target we really like that assuredly won't make it to pick 50.
If you want to see who we're targeting, go to http://walterfootball.com/ProspectMeetings/ByTeam Someone took the liberty to make a spreadsheet of guys we've talked to, sorted by projected rd, and highlighted those with multiple visits. Pay attention to anyone with PRI next to their name imo. https://www.dropbox.com/s/342o4mp4wsksmqy/Screenshot_28.jpg?dl=0
Imo we're taking 1 of Wills, Baker, Njoku, or Dalvin at 19. Obviously that changes if Howard or Barnett fall to us, but I don't see either happening.

I'm not worried about Baker's size in the slightest. Gain 7 lbs and he's the same size as Earl Thomas.
A big reason not to trade entirely out of the 1st is that you lose out on the 5th yr option for their rookie contract. Swap picks with Seattle + pick up one of their extra 3rds and draft Budda Baker at 26. Then sit tight and see if someone you want falls. If they won't be there at 50, trade up and get him. Or if there's a guy who might get swiped between 50-84, do the same thing. In both instances we'd get to keep at least 1 3rd rd pick, maybe even both depending on the deal.
I wouldn't hate that at all. An extra 3rd would give us an opportunity to pick up someone like Foreman/Hunt or add depth on the OL with someone like Pocic.
