Final First Round Mock Draft Roundup: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

It has been a long-awaited time for the draft to roll around after an interesting free-agency period. Many teams improved through the first round of` free agency, and that includes the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , who flew mainly under the radar due to their focusing on signing their players that were set to hit the market.

The Bucs, like the other 31 NFL teams, will now look towards the draft to help fill those empty holes on their roster. Tampa Bay's needs are wide-ranging, but the emphasis seems to be pointed toward EDGE, CB, and IOL. With the draft set to kick off at eight eastern tonight and the Bucs set to pick at 26th, we decided to round up some of the top final mock drafts circulating the internet."Todd Bowles can't resist taking a dynamic defender with outstanding speed, quickness and explosiveness. Though Robinson did not put up big numbers as a pass rusher at Penn State, he possesses the tools scouts covet in premier pass rushers.

The consensus amongst these NFL experts points towards the Buccaneers taking one of the top pass rushers in this draft class, outside of The 33rd Team's pick of CB Kool-Aid McKinstry, Peter Schrager's pick of Graham Barton, and Brugler's pick of Nate Wiggins. Personally, I agree. The Bucs' biggest need is landing an elite pass rusher to drastically improve their ability to get to opposing quarterbacks.

If the Bucs aren't able to land one of these elite edge players or a player high on their draft board, keep an eye on GM Jason Licht to trade back out of the first round.
