One of the newest Buccaneers podcasts available took on the topic of Joe Mixon as well as some breaking news from this week.

Since we last spoke, the Buccaneers unveiled a slew of upgrades to Raymond James Stadium. The improvements include a brand new locker room for the good guys, and expanded club sections.

In the longest episode of the series thus far, we tackled the topic of running back Joe Mixon.

The embattled prospect continues to be the most polarizing player in the NFL Draft this year and both of us shared our views and our hopes for the team in relation to the talented, but troubled, young man.

Must Read: The Bucs Aren't Drafting O-Line

Some other news coming out of One Buc this past week was the emergence of Doug Martin and his involvement in offseason workouts.

While his saga has yet to come to finality, it’s certainly worth discussing whether or not his participation is a sign of the team brass leaning one way or another as to his future.

Finally, we came back with a brand new Pick-Six (Podcast Edition) and ranked Tampa Bay’s top six team needs entering the NFL Draft. David and James agree for the most part, but enter into the vaunted offensive line topic, facing off on whether or not it truly is a draft need in 2017.

Join us as we discuss all of these and answer one listeners email question!
