A heard that if you push a button on the back of the base it plays dueling banjos..
Looks like the Bucs swiped the Giants pick, OJ Howard heh heh.

Engram sounds like a good pick though..
Engram is a big-play receiver who happens to have the size to play tight end. His athleticism will make it difficult for even the league’s fastest linebackers to cover him, and NFL teams have began to focus on creating those mismatches more and more since players like Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham started roasting secondaries this decade.

I think he's more of a slot receiver than a TE though. I wish the BPA was at a different position but I do think the Giants got a really good one. I believe Ike Hilliard did a mock draft and picked this guy. He certainly looks like our long-term red zone threat
Its like with the Bucs, they werent planning on drafting a TE either, probably were looking to pick Dalvin Cook. He got picked up by the Vikes, and Howard fell into their laps at 19.
If the defense can keep improving (came around late last season) the Bucs have a shot of winning the NFC south. Its got its share of contenders, so it won't be easy. Haven't seen the Bucs win a playoff game since the Super Bowl. 
BTW, Bucs will be on Hard Knocks this season. Glad its this year, not under some of the other Bucs coaches from the last decade. Lots of stories with DeSean Jackson joining the team, OJ Howard getting picked, Winston's progress, and the Bucs having their best shot to end the playoff drought in years.
Don't like the looks of our running game, but I'm reading some happy crap about Eli having better protection with a 4th round draft pick OL in camp...
Reading your draft pick OJ Howard is frighteningly good. Not much print about Winston, which is probably a good thing, right?

Im curious to see how the Giants offense does with your new TE as well. No slouch. Our defense wasn't as good as yours until the end of the season. New players, new defensive coordinator last season. Im hoping for a carry over effect into this season. We snagged maybe the best offensive FA, and the freak luck pick of the draft. Brate was a big surprise last season, one of the best TE's by the numbers. Between Howard and Brate, and Jackson and Evans, Winston is going to have all the weapons he needs to lead the team to a playoff berth.
Don't know what they're doing with Doug Martin, cant believe he juiced. Makes me appreciate what Warrick Dunn did on and off the field as a Buc. Dunn bought a house for the family of a recent draft pick when he was a kid, with his foundation.
You're right Winston is being quiet lol, glad after his visit to that elementary school. Could of been worse I suppose, but thats about the worst thing Ive read about with his name attached to it. As a fan, I cant complain. He really has shown himself to be the leader fans hoped he would be. Looking forward to seeing the Bucs on Hard Knocks. Lots of interesting storylines. Getting HBO just to watch it.
But our first string D actually looks better than our first string O! Looks like a return to the LT glory days when the offense just had to hold them until the D could get back on the field and score! Yeah, I'm giddy!

looks even worse than I expected
"Run Forrest Run!" will take on a whole new meaning jrod! 
Bucs D looks pretty good. Been a top D since the middle of last season. Offense still needs work though. Jameis has to take care of the ball this season, gambles too much.

Apparently McAdoodle went and called out Eli on the post game interview. Eli made some ugly mistakes but so did the coach and everyone else in blue. What a horrible game to watch. No catch nOdell didn't do any better either.
