Draft and Develop

New Bucs offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach Todd Monken might be my favorite coach just because his way of thinking is the right one. During his press conference, he talked about the process and how its all about the players, that its his job as a coach to develop them. He repeated several times explaining the process that its draft, develop, free agency, and coach better.

“This is a game about talent. I mean, it starts with having talent. You’ve to have talent. You’ve got to have people in position to draft talent. So my belief in the last couple of drafts and Jason (Licht) … my belief in Coach Koetter and Coach Smith and the staff that’s been assembled, all of that has been a big part of it.”

  “I love to be around players and see them achieve all their dreams. It’s always about the players; it’s what this game’s always been about. It’s about you helping them to become the best version of them. Plain and simple, that’s what it’s about.”

Monken is spot on here, and went on to talk about the key to having a good team is developing 4th,5th, and 6th round picks into good players because that's what you have to do to contend. If Monken can make Mike Evans into the best version of himself then the rest of NFL better look out because that will be bad news for 31 other teams.
