Tampa Bay Buccaneers: weekly 7-round mock draft after Combine
By Cory Kinnan
Cory: Mike Weber, RB, Ohio State
Talk about putting on a show at the combine, Mike Weber ran an official 4.47 40-yard dash and performed with excellence during the on-field drills. Once a 1,000 yard rusher as a freshman, Weber was then forced to split carries for the remaining two seasons of his collegiate career in Columbus. With the impending restricted free agency of Peyton Barber and the struggles of Jones III, the Bucs need to make a move for another running back in the draft.
Dylan: Hunter Renfrow, WR, Clemson
With Adam Humphries set to hit the open market look for the Bucs to spend a day three pick on a potential replacement in the slot. He was former walk-on at Clemson before eventually earning a scholarship and winning two national championships. Renfrow earned the reputation of being a clutch receiver even though he lacks size and has smaller hands than you’d like. Renfrow has a crazy high football IQ, an unmatched work ethic and just seems to always make plays.
Jason: Ronheed Bingham, LB, Arkansas State
Ronheed Bingham is a fast and twitchy player, making it easy for him to disengage blocks with good hand and footwork. His vast array of pass rushing moves should be welcomed sight to Tampa’ s defense under new control of Todd Bowles. With only one player in double-digit sacks last season, the Buccaneers double up on pass rushers in this year’s draft.
Jamil: Greg Dortch, WR, Wake Forest
The Bucs have a decision to make regarding the future of Humphries; if the price becomes too high for the Bucs to match or top then a need will open in the slot. Greg Dortch was a dynamic playmaker at Wake Forrest in the slot and as a returner. He isn’t getting the hype he deserves as an undersized player, but he could end up being a steal for the Bucs if he’s needed.
