Round Four: Offense

  • RB, Brian Hill – Wyoming

It’s no surprise yet another running back is on this list for potential Bucs targets.

Running back is obviously a position of need for the Bucs. The question is: where will they find a player they want to add to the roster?

Brian Hill may not be a mainstream name fans of Tampa have been hearing about this entire process, but he’s a talented young man who can come in to be a solid back up immediately, and eventually develop into a three down back the Buccaneers could learn to rely on.

  • OT, Roderick Johnson – Florida State

I’m not sure whether Johnson is going to make it far enough in the fourth round for the Bucs to have a stab at him.

If they do then I would love to see this lineman join the roster. A lot of people are underwhelmed with Johnson’s talent.

What I see is a young man who’s hungry and has the ability to bring valuable depth behind the starting five.

Eventually, Johnson could take over right tackle duties, and until then he’d provide a nice rotational piece in case of injury or poor play.
