I wonder if the Bucs when it comes time for the Draft, should they go quarterback in terms of their 1st round pick? Or go defense? Because it makes you wonder if this organization really believes in Baker Mayfield to be the long term solution at QB? I mean how do you follow up the GOAT in Brady? You can’t but you also need a quarterback for the future that will make this team still competitive. But then if you go defense, then it actually helps Baker going forward because of protection giving him more time in the pocket to throw it or to use his legs. So what do you think the Bucs should do?
Honestly it’s a tricky question.
If we can’t re-sign Baker then…I vote for “best player available” and just go from there. If Baker doesn’t re-sign we should just rebuild on the go and slowly start something called “project 2030”, or whatever, where we’d start to build a team that should compete for the playoffs somewhere around 2028 or so, and by 2030 we should try becoming a serious competitor.
There are not too many affordable QBs that are decent, so if we can’t re-sign Mayfield just roll with Trask and just play with a bunch of rookies+veterans, trying to slowly create a team of people playing their peak in a couple of years (I just know Kalijah will be a beast after a couple of years)
