The , for most, had one glaring roster need entering the NFL Draft, and that was at edge. Todd Bowles' team struggled to get meaningful quarterback pre sure in the second half of the season last year, so general manager Jason Licht knew that had to change. And in the first round of the draft, somehow, Miami stud Rueben Bain Jr. fell to Tampa Bay at No. 15, and the franchise, without a second thought, turned that draft card in. Now, the Bucs have a genuine game-wrecker on the defensive side, and for NFL.com's Gennaro Filice, he's sent a league-wide warning about Bain in 2026. Bain should not have lasted until the 15th overall pick last month, and he knew it, . Everyone saw him storm the draft stage as a man https://www.tetitansmerch.com/collections/tyler-boyd-jersey driven by disrespect -- honestly, it felt like a supervillain origin story -- and I cant wait to see him take it out on the league. For a Bucs team that needed more pa s rush, landing Bain was a dream scenario. MORE: Can Bain Jr. be "the" guy for Buccaneers? Absolutely, he can, and the biggest question will be how Bowles uses the pa s rusher. Given his production in college and the fact that he's seen by many to be one of the better pa s rushers in the draft, there's every reason to think that Bain Jr. could be a monster in Year 1. Yes, expectations have to be tempered a little because we don't want to put too much pre sure on the rookie, but fans will be looking to him to be the difference-maker the defense desperately needs in 2026. He's got a chip on his shoulder after 14 teams overlooked him, and I bet that in 2026, Bain Jr. will be making it his mi sion to remind every single one of them that it was a mistake to pa s on him.
