The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made some roster moves on Monday, releasing wide receiver and return specialist Jaydon Mickens which can mean only one thing - it's Jaelon Darden time. In addition to the release of Mickens, the Bucs activated offensive lineman John Molchon. There were also some practice squad moves, with the Buccaneers releasing outside linebacker Elijah Ponder and signing long time cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson, who spent time with the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons. Wreh-Wilson will likely get a crash course in the defense in case the Bucs have to call on him to join the active roster, given all the injuries they're dealing with.

Mailbag time as we had a string of questions sent in from Mad Dog. We dive into the discussion as to what the bigger problem for the Bucs is right now - penalties or injuries. We've talked non-stop about the injury problems, but the Bucs are among the NFL's worst in penalties, being called for the second most in the league while having the most penalty yards of any team. Then again, is one affecting the other?

More discussion as to whether or not O.J. Howard should be dealt - especially now, coming off a solid performance in week six - for some help in the secondary. Or is it time to start talking about trading Cameron Brate?

If it were up to us, would we be willing to announce Todd Bowles or Byron Leftwich as Bruce Arians' successor, protecting them from the rest of the NFL? Or when Arians retires will it be time to look for an overhaul within the building?

Finally, it's never too early to start talking mock drafts, right? Of course not! That's why they call it Mocktober! There are some NFL mock drafts floating around so we thought it would be fun to see what positions the NFL Draft folks are starting to look towards for the Buccaneers through six weeks of the NFL season.
