A lot of times down here in Mobile it\u2019s a little microcosm of what the class as a whole will look like. Man, it\u2019s been some good edge rushers. And Derrick Moore \u2026 from Michigan, he\u2019s been as good as anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The former Browns, Eagles and Ravens scout noted there will be \u201creally good value\u201d in edge rushers take on Day 2 of the 2026 draft, aka Rounds 2 &amp; 3.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Joe hopes and expects the Bucs will try to end their edge rush blues in free agency again next month. As for the draft, it\u2019s too early to try and get in the mind of Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht.<\/p>\n<p>In his opening mock draft of the 2026 season, Jeremiah mocked Texas A&amp;M edge rusher Cashius Howell to the Bucs at No. 15 overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Big Year For Edge Rushers February 1st, 2026 Buccaneers GM Jason Licht may have smiled in Mobile, Alabama,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":439261,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2077],"tags":[211,2599,2598,7,6,704,250,2597,2596],"class_list":{"0":"post-722142","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tampa-bay-buccaneers","8":"tag-buccaneers","9":"tag-bucs-message-boards","10":"tag-bucs-news","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-tampa-bay","14":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","15":"tag-tampabay","16":"tag-tampabaybuccaneers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115997190737705026","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=722142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/439261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=722142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=722142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=722142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
