Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Re-drafting the historically bad 2016 NFL Draft
By Cory Kinnan
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a historically bad 2016 NFL Draft as none of the picks have become significant contributors; here is a re-draft for the Bucs.
The 2016 NFL Draft was not kind to general manager Jason Licht and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as not one single pick in the draft has panned out as the team had hoped. Two of the picks are off of the roster, and the rest may be holding on for dear life this summer.
The Buccaneers picked Vernon Hargreaves in the first round, and ended the draft in the sixth round picking fullback Danny Vitale who did not even make the roster that same year. This is the same draft as well where the Buccaneers are quite well known for trading back into the second round in order to select kicker Roberto Agauyo, who after just one year, was cut by the team.
Meanwhile NFC South rivals New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons had a field day in this draft. In fact ia re-draft of just selecting players from those teams could be done in order to build an exemplary draft class.
If the Buccaneers had a chance to go back and be revisionist historians, the draft could have loaded them up with talent from round one to their last pick in the draft. With the chance to review the 2016 draft, here is a re-draft of the awful selections for the Buccaneers.
