What About The Past Three Practices Closed To Media?

Buccaneers spring practices were on lockdown Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, closed to the prying eyes of media.
However, Joe was able to bribe a few window washers, fly a couple of high-altitude drones and extort information from a football staffer.
The result was satisfying Joe’s hunger to learn who was shining brightly on the field.
The Bucs, Joe learned, are very pleased by the standout practices form their first four draft picks: Emeka Egbuka, Benjamin Morrison, Jacob Parrish and David Walker. Yes, Morrison. The health of the second-round pick cornerback is more than holding up after hip surgery.
Remember on Tuesday when Todd Bowles mentioned undrafted rookie J.J. Roberts in the mix for the starting nickel job? Well, the Bucs remain very high on what the safety out of Wake Forest and Marshall is delivering through four OTA practices.
What veterans impressed more than others through four days?
Two were put on Joe’s plate: receiver Jalen McMillan and inside linebacker SirVocea Dennis, who had an interception of Baker Mayfield in front of media on Tuesday.
Joe’s got names of more undrafted players, as well, but no need to tell the NFL world too much. Joe doesn’t want Team Glazer to shoot down one of Joe’s drones.
