Gonna be some good CBs at 19.

Type out names and prospect list you are looking at please.

[Doctor]

Big fan of Will Johnson. Don't see how he falls to us but if so, run to the podium.

After him Morrison or Barron are my BPA CBs that could be there at 19.

Day 2 I love Alexander from LSU and Cobee Bryant, maybe as a safety.

[mdb1958]

Day 3?

[mdb1958]

Are NFL teams going to want to challenge Darien Porter?

3 years 20 receptions - 41 targets - 287 total yards given up

2 TD's in his first year and none since.

Short answer, yeah. Finesse him with agility and see if he can keep up.

But Darien Porter is an interesting prospect. He fits the Bowles mode of a superior athlete who isn't a fantastic football player, as well as a high RAS guy who is comfortable playing zone. He is toolsy enough to make you wonder if he can be an outside corner at the pro level, and he would be on my shortlist for second round Buc targets.

Morrison has been dropping. Multiple hip injuries for a CB is no bueno.

Fully on board with Barron. Agree Johnson is likely gone.

I think we’re in love with Jihaad.

[Phantom]

It’s going to be Will Johnson. The Buccaneers will trade up to get him.

[Doctor]

I'm a huge Jihaad fan. I want to get greedy and hope he drops to the second because haters hate on off ball LBs, but I'd nab him in the first so fast.

Morrison could drop that far. Campbell will not.

[Doctor]

Could happen. All kinds of funny things happen in the draft.

[Phantom]

That’s incorrect! Will Johnson will go in top 10.

[mdb1958]

Drafttek has 10 CB's and 5 Safeties in the top 100.

[Phantom]

This is the first time in the common Draft era that every team owns their first-round pick to start the new league year.

You have to correct the date, I usually look at active career leaders.

[mdb1958]

Is Cam Lockridge in the 2025 NFL draft?

[Grahamburn]

With contracts trending the way they are the picks become even more valuable.

[Bootz]

That's fascinating. And it likely doesn't change before draft day either.

First early look at 2025 NFL draft hats

Ugly right?

CB Nikko Reed for a Bucs visit - that's the first I've heard of him.

Just him and Demetrius Knight for us so far.

Nick Emmanwori on a lot of those lists.

Met at the Senior Bowl.
Met at the combine.
In for an Official Top 30 Visit.

Saw Chris Simms WR rankings and was surprised to hear the name Kyle Williams at #2. Never heard of the guy. Watched his highlight reel. 1 minute in, 3 plays where he catches for short yardage and turns the Jets. His acceleration is unreal. His speed isn't, but how he goes from halt to 20mph is a rare ability.

Guy can go anywhere from late 1st to 5th. Probably because he is from Washington State.

[mdb1958]

@Sdbucs

Does PFF have completions/targets numbers on Kyle Williams?

Check Efton Chism too if you would.

Kyle Williams WR Washington State. PFF Ranked #160 player in draft, WR#18

Josiah Stewart looks pretty good. Why is he projected so late?

That's @Cheb "s guy

Check out David Walker.

[mdb1958]

@Sdbucs

Is Efton Chism on PFF's list, I'm really curious if he catches everything thrown his way. I think he is but I do not know how to post the stuff like you do.

Whoops didn't see that

Efton Chism WR Eastern Washington - Big Board #228, WR #29. Efton Chism was PFFs highest rated WR in CFB in 2024

[mdb1958]

Thanks Sdbucs - that catch ratio for Efton is crazy, teams would have a hard time getting us off the field.


Not catching 26 of 146 passes.

[Sdbucs]

Not catching 26 of 146 passes.

And only 3 of those were drops.

Should I ask how you figured that out? Seems like a good/cheap short yardage WR.
