48. . Guard. North Carolina State. Joe Thuney. 148. player

You won’t find many immediate starters here, but the Bucs gain some solid offensive line depth. Thuney, listed as guard, but has started at every position on the line while at North Carolina State. He’s far from a finished product, but there are enough strengths there to warrant a pick.

Thuney tends to lean into his opposition too often, allowing them to move him out of their way rather than he keeping opposing linemen in front of him. Thuney has good size, great hands, and average arm length for a lineman, so there aren’t any physical traits missing. A very coachable young man who could become a starter after improving his craft.
