My endorsement may not carry much weight but the work Dante has done should be more than enough to earn him a spot somewhere. He’s relentless, thoughtful, critical in the best ways, and has one of the sharpest minds I know. Hire him and become better as a team and site.

Had to collect my thoughts a bit, but I have some unfortunate personal news to share, too:

If anyone needs a guest on a show or podcast this week to discuss the combine or anything NFL-related this week as we head into the best month of the offseason, please reach out! Been a while, but I want to get back into making some appearances on different platforms!

.🚨New Bucs Mock Draft is LIVE🚨 In this Pre-Scouting Combine mock draft, I think I have zeroed in on who I want the team to go with in round one. Won't be the most exciting pick but it will be best for the team long-term. Link 🔽🔽🔽 bucswire.usatoday.com/lists/bucs-m...

The 2018 cycle where all those Webs competed against each other at either the Senior Bowl or combine remains one of the better cycles in recent history. I’m not knocking Sanders for his decision but I am disappointed.

There is nothing I could be luckier to do than cover football as a full-time job. That being said, there is nothing scarier than covering football as a full-time job with a family, bills, and others who rely upon you. Today is another reminder of that boogeyman never going away.

Im not sure what is in the water this year, but I feel like this cornerback class is full of great tacklers.

NFL Combine podium schedule Bucs’ Jason Licht and Todd Bowles will be speaking on Tuesday.

.🚨New Mock Draft is LIVE🚨 I went TWO rounds before the scouting combine throws everything crazy next week. 📈 Defensive Players continue to rise 🚀 THREE QBs get drafted 🤠 Cowboys get a NEW playmaker Enjoy! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ vikingswire.usatoday.com/lists/2025-n...

Just finished writing a two-round much that will publish at 6 am lol - no trades - analysis on the top 32 - a couple landing spots I don’t think I’ve seen anywhere else - Oh, everyone will hate it I am sure lol See yall in a couple hours! 🎉🎉🎉

Where does the Kurt Russell’s speech from Miracle rank among movie speeches all-time? Not even going to keep it to sports movies cause it’s too good to be limited like that.

2023 Deone Walker: 2024 Deone Walker:

I look at a handful of numbers from PFF from the 2024 season, here are the leaders in some categories from the RBs I watched this cycle: YPC after Contact: 5.25 (Jeanty) Runs of 10+ Yards: 63 (Jeanty) Missed Tackles Forced: 151 (Jeanty) Breakaway Run %: 56.1 (K. Johnson)

Late night film takeaway Matt Rhule and that Nebraska staff had those players ready to go to WAR against Colorado this year. The film of Ty Robinson and Tommi Hill from that game is really fun to watch and showcases the best of what they can be as prospects.

This may be the greatest layout for a report in the history of ever.

Daniel Jeremiah has a very FUN but interesting pick for the Bucs at 19 as he has them getting Tetairoa McMillan. I'm not sure that should be a red flag to Bucs fans about Chris Godwin and Mike Evans but... www.nfl.com/news/daniel-...

It feels like the talk about Lavonte David and his free agency has been WAY too quiet. Not sure if his age is turning people off from the idea of their team signing him but he showed no signs of slowing down in 2024. Good amount of gas left in the tank for 2025.

.🚨New Bucs Mock Draft🚨 I had some fun with a different approach in round one for the Bucs but followed that up with addressing some needs at other positions the rest of the way. Enjoy! 🔽🔽🔽 bucswire.usatoday.com/lists/2025-n...

This is getting a tad annoying lol

Published my Travis Hunter scouting report yesterday for his cornerback work. The NFL may be onto something listing him as this position for the combine. He is a day one difference maker on defense and everything you could ever want at the position. Link⬇️⬇️⬇️ bucswire.usatoday.com/lists/2025-n...

75 players deep in final evals and I have 17 first-round grades on players! Top three being Travis Hunter, Ashton Jeanty, and Tetairoa McMillan.

.🚨New NFC South Mock Draft🚨 ⚜️ Saints go heavy with Big Ten players 🐾 Panthers build up in the trenches 🔴 Falcons get some BRUTES on defense 🏴‍☠️ Bucs get some key players on defense Link🔽🔽🔽 bucswire.usatoday.com/lists/2025-n...

I discovered the extended editions of Lord of the Rings and my god, the Fellow Ship of the Ring is like a completely different movie now.

In case you missed it yesterday, I published my running back rankings for the 2025 NFL Draft! To sum them up, I love this class as a whole but RJ Harvey may be my favorite…

The Bucs may shop Rachaad White around this offseason. While it isn't a move that I endorse, I understand the idea after the emergence of Bucky Irving. I found 5 trade partners for the Bucs if they decide to move on from the versatile back. Link🔽🔽🔽 bucswire.usatoday.com/lists/5-trad...

.🚨2025 NFL Draft Rankings🚨 My WR rankings are finalized and LIVE for your reading and critiquing. The battle for number one was tough, but it was the same as it was for me over the summer. I have linked my reports to all of them under their ranking! Link🔽🔽🔽 bucswire.usatoday.com/lists/2025-n...

.🚨2025 NFL Draft Rankings🚨 My running back rankings are finalized and LIVE for your reading and critiquing. Number one is an obvious choice, but what about the other 19? As a bonus, I have linked my reports to all of them under their ranking! Link🔽🔽🔽 vikingswire.usatoday.com/lists/2025-n...

I meant to share this yesterday, but the Eagles dominant win over the Chiefs should serve as a lesson to this current Bucs team. I saw five lessons the Bucs should have from the impressive win on Sunday. Link🔽🔽🔽 bucswire.usatoday.com/lists/5-less...

I try my best to avoid politics on here, in fact I haven’t made a post like that here or the other place in forever. That being said, this type of behavior makes Charmin look like razor wire.

Kyle Monangai is one of my favorite running backs in the class. For being such a physical runner, he does have some nice open field footwork to make people miss time to time.

.🚨Mock Draft Monday for the Bucs🚨 The Super Bowl showed the Bucs need to have a reliable pass rush, and while they had success as a group, why not add a dominant presence? Link🔽🔽🔽 bucswire.usatoday.com/lists/2025-n...

Somewhere in Mobile, Alabama there is the nicest Chick-Fil-A worker over the moon excited for Jalen Hurts. The nicest lady ever wouldn’t let me and my buddies who were covering the Senior Bowl forget that Hurts was such a good man and the best part of the Alabama football team.
