On this episode of the Bucs MinuteCast, we break down why landing Rueben Bain Jr at pick 15 could be the biggest steal of the entire draft and how it sets the tone for everything the Buccaneers did after.
They may have just changed the trajectory of their defense in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Umm, yeah..this draft wasn’t about flashy moves. This was about building something real.
