Someone tell the Bucs you build through the draft only

[Mobinvans]

I see on the boards all the time “build through the draft and bring in some stop gaps (scrubs) in free agency....that’s how you win a Super Bowl

Well Steve let’s take a look at the Bucs....

Notable free agents:

1. Tom Brady
2. Shaq Barret
3. Gronk
4. Fournette
5. Suh
6. Antonio Brown
7. Jason Paul

So you can go on living that lie that we will win a Super Bowl through the draft and free agency scrubs

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Check out the vaunted 2000 Ravens. Huge % of their main guys were free agent acquisitions, including 7-8 starters on D

this is mostly a BS precedent

 

[Mobinvans]

We ain’t gonna win jack until we get a real GM who is serious about bringing in some real talent....which doesn’t look like that will ever happen

Need Cap cash to go shopping.....Good Gm doesn't hurt either.

Same story every year man....

yet other teams a manage it

 

[big dog cowboy]

All those FA's wouldn't have mattered if they stuck with Winston instead of signing Brady. Brady made all that possible.

 

[starcity214]

Times have changed and in today's NFL the realistic SB window is about 3 years.

Even the mighty Chiefs are on their way out but hey at least they took advantage of their window and won something.

ronald jones,tristian wirfs,tyler johnson,vita vea,devin white,antoine winfield,jordan whitehead.
they've hit on some draft picks as well.
at dt and at s....imagine that.

This is misleading.

How much are those old free agents costing?

You can't continuously buy your way into a championship. Not repeatedly with today's salary cap.

Eventually, it is best to draft smart during the draft. Plus, negotiate well during resigning contracts.

So do I go post this at their message board or is there an email address I should send it to?

If you have to go all the way to 2000..then naw it’s not BS.

Only ones notable are Barrett and Brady. They would’ve won the Super Bowl without them and quite frankly if it wasn’t for the draft that offensive line wouldn’t have been able to protect Brady.


You can’t hype up the Buccs without mentioning their best players on the team happen to have been their draft picks. Mike Evans,Vea, Winfield, Godwin......

Winfield was really bad this year

Worked for the Bronco's, but like the Bucs they landed All Timer at QB. Mannings and Bradys dont grow on tree.

Also it gave them a very very narrow window

They also had hit in several consecutive drafts so that they were ready before that so that they were just piling on.

you build your core through the draft. you complement with a few mid level draftees and perhaps a big signing to fill a gap you couldn't do through draft

you swung and missed baadddlllyyy. you were lazy to do your homework because you wanted to drive an agenda.
Fourtnette had 367 yards rushing...by comparison Polllard had 435. so you tout fourtnette? because its a name you heard and have no idea what he did for his team.

most of those FA cost as much as the 4 FA we signed and couldn't get past mid season. its finding the right cheap FA.....

below is the core of their team that came through draft.

Wirf
Wienfield
White
Vea
Jones
Howard
Brate
Evans
Godwin
Hargraves
Smith
Evans

Not what's being said. What happened when LeBron went to the Lakers? Talent followed. The Bucs were basically the Super team of the NFL this year. Alas, I think if KC had its full offensive line, the game would have been different.

 

[JoeKing]

You do build through the draft. But there is only one GOAT. If you can get him, you get him and the FA talent will follow.
