2023 Official Roster Build Thread - The Initial 53 / Practice Squad

[Boltnut]

how much better than Michael Bandy is Charlie Jones ??

You're joking, right?

[blueman]

DB is a huge issue. Just re-watch the Denver game (when Callahan was out) or the Jags game (when M.Davis exited).
JCJ is re-habbing (but hasn't tested the knee by cutting/planting). Patellar injury is historically difficult to return to original.
Michael Davis is a FA @ the end of 2023.
In essence, it is very possible that we are down the one CB (ASJ) by the end of 2023. BTW, we play predominantly with 3 CB's.

1.CB
2. Edge
3. WR
4. RB
5. TE

Edge, WR, RB, and TE are all depth. We already have starters @each and every position. Not so @slot corner.

It’s a deep draft for CBs, like with WR we can find a slot CB mid rounds, just like other positions.

Who you got mid-round?

I like Darius Rush, knows when to return his head around, kinda like speed as hard to teach.

And it is possible that JCJ successfully recovers, JaSir Taylor takes a step or two forward, and that 4rth round corner really rounds out the rotation.

I absolutely despise Negative Nancies!

Well if that's the case... Chris Rumph makes the Pro Bowl, Joshua Kelly rushes for 1,000 yards, Gerald Everett replaces Kelce as the best TE in the AFC West... and TT trades away all of our picks in the 2023 draft for identical 2024 picks... because we have become instantly better at all positions.

How's that for Polly-anna-ism?

Who's your 1st rounder?

[Boltjolt]

Who's your 1st rounder?

I think I'm on DJ Turner in the 2nd. Possible third but I think he is a tweener there so 2nd is where I might take him if I want him.
He can play inside and has insane speed.
Everytime I watch his tape I just like it.

[Lone Bolt]

Who you got mid-round?

If its OK, I would like a stab at that...Sydney Brown...though mid round might be a stretch...might have to strike day 2...but another option vs 1st round DB...

Most people think box safety, but he has played almost everywhere effectively, from slot to high safety...and kid has the speed and quicks to be a good slot guy...another versatile DB. Playmaker who is always around the ball...8 interceptions, 7 pass deflections...hits like a truck...good instincts...football playing jesse, lol...think Staley doesnt like HIS tape?

I got a mock where we pick him up in the third, and his brother Chase in the 4th...whimsical stuff, I know...but would be cool as hell, lol

Anyway...just spitballing here...

I know DB is an issue. And yes, Davis and ASJ are both in the last year and who knows about JCJackson - so I get there is a need
So is Edge, RB, TE and for me, the biggest need, a playmaker at WR. Still, a playmaker at WR - has been all offseason, the biggest NEED for this team

Just keeps proving my theory they need to trade back and get more players that can help multiple positions.

[Bolt4Knob]

Agree

I agree- I like that trade a lot. Murray + Ekeler make about $8.6; White would be $11m I believe. But they can get that number reduced on a long term deal - if he is the right fit for the defense.

Granted, the Bucs signed Chase Edmonds so not sure they have the need for Ekeler

[blueman]

Who's your 1st rounder?

Bijan lol.

But look at the other’s, very good looking DBs everywhere. Hence, Bijan.
