Tampa Bay Buccaneers: weekly 7-round mock draft after Combine
By Cory Kinnan
Cory: Dalton Risner, OL, Kansas State
If Dalton Risner manages to slip into the second round, the Buccaneers should obtain his services in any way possible. Having the flexibility to play across the offensive line, playing guard, center, and tackle in college, Risner would be a day-one plug and play prospect and protector of Winston. After an impressive Combine, Risner is a hot commodity, and the fringe first rounder could fall in the laps of the Bucs.
Dylan: Yodny Cajuste, OT, West Virginia Mountaineers
The Bucs land a powerful tackle to anchor one side of the line for years to come. Yodny Cajuste might not be a day one starter at left tackle but projects to be one down the road. Cajuste plays with great strength and has the length you want in a tackle. If head coach Bruce Arians throws him in at LT he will likely need a few weeks of playing to get used to the speed of the game. Hopefully Cajuste can become the franchise left tackle the Bucs and Winston desperately need.
Jason: Michael Deiter, OL, Wisconsin
Right guard was a weakness last year along the Buccaneers offensive line, and with Benenoch moving to right tackle, guard is a major need. Deiter is big and fluid, with great footwork and hip flexibily. His mobility is elite as well with lateral movement to hang with attacking defenders. While Deiter looks more natural playing on the interior of the offensive line, but has experience playing tackle, guard, and center in college; great for a team like Tampa Bay, who has wholes along their line.
Jamil: Amani Oruwariye, CB, Penn State
The Bucs have a strong need in the secondary in addition to their offensive line. With the departure of Brent Grimes, an opening has been created at the cornerback position. After selecting two corners last season, Tampa Bay could return to drafting at the position again. Oruwariye is a long corner who could come in and immediately make a difference for the secondary. With excellent ball skills, he recorded three interceptions last season and finished with eight on his career.
