- The Dawgman guys begin their positional reviews following spring practice. First up, Jake Browning and the rest of the quarterbacks, followed by Myles Gaskin and the RB group.
- 2020 Ferndale OL Geirean Hatchett spoke with Dawgman’s Scott Eklund about his vistis to UW, Texas, and Texas A&M.
- Bucs Nation seems happy with the selection of Vita Vea. But this part of the scouting report is a little puzzling: Did not seem to understand how to properly work against double teams.
- Some Twitter reactions to the pick as well.
- The Bucs’ Fansided site shows fans are split on the selection of Vea. Keep in mind, lots of fans are just angry that FSU safety Derwin James wasn’t the pick.
- The Tampa Bay Times says that after trading down five picks, the Bucs still got their guy.
- Adam Jude writes that Vea treats giant rocks the same way he moves offensive linemen.
