Cory: Olamide Zaccheaus, WR, Virginia

He did not receive an invite to the combine, so Olamide Zaccheaus will have much to prove at his pro day and for now, finds himself as a seventh round selection. Showing explosion in the open field, Zaccheaus tallied over 3,200 total yards and 24 touchdowns during his career as a Cavalier and recorded over 1,000 yards in his final season in 2018. With the possible departure of Humphries, the Bucs will need to look for a cost effective way to fill the void at slot receiver. Zaccheaus would give Tampa Bay another explosive weapon offensively.

Dylan: Jamal Peters, CB, Mississippi State

Jamal Peter is considered a larger corner with great size and length alike. Peters excels in man coverage due to his long strides and frame. Peters has above average speed and can run with receivers who may get past him. Although Peters is large he struggles at times in press situations, especially with shifty receivers that have an arsenal of moves. You’d like to see Peters play more physical in press situations and take advantage of his physical frame. Biggest red flag is the inability to make plays on the ball as he only totaled three interceptions in 36 total starts.

Jason: Oli Udo, OT, Elon

Hailing from the small school of Elon, Oli Udoh turned heads at this year’s East-West shrine game and put his name on the radar of NFL scouts and general managers. Udo has strong, heavy hands with decent mobility for his size and displayed that agility and athleticism this weekend at the combine. He is a nice prospect that can definitely be groomed during his rookie season, as Udo’s pass blocking needs some improvement.

Jamil: Ben Banogu, EDGE, Texas Christian

The Bucs could use some depth at defensive line, as Beau Allen and Mitch Unrein may likely see the exit this offseason. Ben Banogu had two productive seasons as a Horned Frog putting up 8.5 sacks in back-to-back seasons against Big 12 offenses. He isn’t going to wow you in any factor of the game, but at this point in the draft, he could be a great depth piece.
