Way too early 2025 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Depth Chart Predictions

I make mistakes every day.

[CannonFire]

When was the last time 21-32 ranked defense win the championship

I believe 4 of the last 6 finished between 15 and 18... last year, we were 16th.

[CannonFire]

Was hoping Elijah Klein would develop into that role. Dude straight up pushes people but his pass pro isnt exactly...pro.

If Opeta doesn't get injured last offseason I doubt Klein makes the roster. I gave him the edge this year because I'm always skeptical of OL coming off knee injuries. But you're right. He's got a lot to get better at.

Opeta? The Eagles didn't want him back for $1M. Why would you think he'd be an improvement over anyone?

Not that he'd be an improvement. But he's more experienced than Klein was last year and IIRC we actually had him pegged for the LG spot over Bredeson before he tore his ACL.

LOL, sadly, that's not saying much.

Not at all. We haven't done enough to fill that spot.

I could see Sanders making the practice squad

I could see Sanders making the practice squad

I think given his star power, he makes the PS at minimum. Same with Watson as well. At the end of the day, this is a business. And anyone who helps the bottomline will have a leg up.

I was curious earlier this offseason about BU center and I suppose Scott will take the role unless he stinks or something else opens up.

Given Litch is from Nebraska I'm sure he followed the kid and should be a quality bu hopefully

[Buc2]

Took me a couple extra seconds to realize what BU stood for. Is backup really that hard to type out?

I was on my phone. Lol Does it really irk you that much?

[Jonny]

I predict Culp will outsnap Durham in most games this year making him the TE#2. I also predict Roberts and David Walker to outsnap Hall and Nelson by end of the year.

[Jonny]

Also watch out for Jake Majors cracking the active squad as a backup center. Dude was a high level pass protector that fell because of ineptitude in the run game.

[Barnzy]

Not some crazy prediction at all. The less snaps Nelson has at OLB the better. He has no explosion or get off and most of his sacks are clean up or effort sacks. We need more dynamic players getting snaps off the edge. Nelson 573 snaps is way too much.

I thought BU was initials for someone at 1st until I saw your post.

Irk me? No. Make me shake my head at the laziness of the younger generations? Yes.

As for being on your phone, it’s even easier to type out. Just swipe. Or just let predictive text take care of most of it for you.

[mdb1958]

I think Kindle Vildor
Bryce Hall
Anthony Walker Jr
Sterling Shepard

Will all have to earn their spot.

I'm not young but thanks for the tip pops. In fact, because it upsets you so much, I'll just keep doing it. Lol

[Central_Buc]

Anyway, hopefully Ben Scott works out as our BU center.

[Doctor]

Big battle for BUQB.

That's it! You're getting LIFE on that charge.

I was wondering who the Boston University center was on the roster.

Yeah, who is that? Lol

I can now see why it upsets the chief of Grammar police. Abbreviation in the first degree.

Put me away!

The head scratcher was, Nelson got higher annual salary than JTS and yet our front office decided to keep Nelson despite being the inferior player.

I hope all our OLB's get better at setting the edge as this should be thought about.

Things went down hill quick when Dennis got hurt early on. Keeping him healthy along with Reddick and Diaby we should be fine. We should expect Braswell to make some kind of impact. Due to age and wear, we can't have David be a full time starter all year either.

Oh, boo hoo. I'm so upset. Whatever will I do?

I like Egbuka, but I think we missed an opportunity to address this problem at #19.

Maybe I got it wrong but I was under the impression we drafted Dennis with his ongoing problem.

What guard are you drafting at 19? And what team would give us that big beautiful new 2nd rounder, if we tried I'm guessing we couldnt make it happen.

Article is a couple months old but he feels it's behind him.

Hopefully he got that thing welded up, I opted to not have the surgery and I know I would have had to have that thing popped back in every three plays. Very humbling.

I concur, Guard at 19? I honestly wouldn't have hated it. Imo its always smart going both lines in round 1but everyone else would be calling for Licht's head with the glaring need on D (and somewhat of a need at WR)

[mdb1958]

Twice as mean as Jensen? Who would hate it?
