Buccaneers: 5 second-round prospects who fit perfectly in Tampa Bay
1. RB J.K. Dobbins (Ohio State)
For all of those who say taking a running back in the second-round is too early, believe me I get where you’re coming from.
But the fact of the matter is that the Buccaneers have been near the bottom of the league in rushing for several years now and the only way that’s going to get better is to address the positions most responsible: Offensive line and Running back.
If the Buccaneers take an offensive lineman in the first-round, it would be extremely hard to pass up on J.K. Dobbins, who may have been the most explosive play-maker in the nation last season.
Dobbins can do it all: He can catch the ball out of the backfield, run in between the tackles and pass-block.
Jones II isn’t going to be able to carry the ball 25-30 times a game. It’d be much more beneficial for the team to have a running back it could count on to take some of the load off of Jones II, and Dobbins is a threat to take the ball to the house any time he touches it.
