Summer is here, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Bucs fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Tampa Bay.
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Bucs, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Bucs fans can be the most informed fans.
So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.
Personally, I may have found my favorite wide receiver in the class during my final watch. Wyatt Young is explosive, dynamic, player that lines up both outside and in the slot with lethal efficiency. Young has some concerns and questions that need answering, but there is so much good that he will get to showcase in the Big 12 against some tougher talent in secondaries. He has a first-round grade from me at the moment and could finish as high as WR2 if he keeps on the upward projection that I think he is capable of.
