Going through my top, favorite fits for the Buccaneers in the 2026 NFL Draft with the top 5 My Guys, headlined by Akheem Mesidor and Jacob Rodriguez   A potential late round gem for the Bucs at the linebacker position that no one is talking about and an unorthodox cornerback that could reunite with his college teammate the Bucs drafted last year.         Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 

Jason Licht said at the owner's meetings that he isn't opposed to taking an offensive player in the first round of the NFL Draft.   Jacob Rodriguez has faced some criticism for his missed tackles.
