BSPN: High Chances Michael Trigg Drafted By Bucs
April 6th, 2026
Baylor TE Michael Trigg.
First, it was Kenyon Sadiq. Now it’s Michael Trigg.
For months, “this Joe’s” preference was (if possible) for the Bucs to draft an inside linebacker at No. 15 and then on the second day of the draft, for the Bucs to draft Baylor tight end Michael Trigg. (The other Joe is drooling to draft an edge rusher.)
Tampa native Trigg may not be so much a blocking tight end but he does stretch the field and he is a matchup nightmare for linebackers and defensive backs.
It seems the analytics mice at BSPN are thinking the same way: a stretch-the-field tight end would be a bonus for the Bucs.
BSPN has a “draft predictor” that gives a percentage likelihood that a player could be drafted by a team. It seems the numberscrunchers at BSPN believe Trigg, 6-4, 240, is a third-round pick. and if Trigg lasts to the third round, the Bucs have the best percentage of drafting Trigg at No. 77, until the Patriots are on the clock at No. 95.
Trigg, per BSPN, has an 83 percent chance of being on the board when the Bucs are on the clock in the Round 3.
New Bucs offensive coordinator Zac Robinson liked to run a lot of two-tight-end sets in Atlanta. With an inline tight end like Cade Otton and a stretch-the-field beast like Trigg, now you’re cooking with gas. On offense.

Elite wingspan and physicality to be a jump-ball artist, will be a very interesting player to monitor throughout draft season. pic.twitter.com/7JXnepla2J
