Buccaneers: Tampa Bay connected to several Ohio State prospects

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could end up with multiple prospects from Ohio state before the 2020 NFL Draft is said and done.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are entering the 2020 offseason looking to make the right decisions to progress forward as an organization.

The Buccaneers were strongly represented at the NFL Combine last week and it seems that Tampa Bay could have its eyes on multiple prospects from Ohio State heading into the 2020 NFL Draft in April.

Here’s a look at a few Ohio State prospects that have been projected to the Buccaneers in several mock drafts.

RB J.K. Dobbins (Round 2)

The Buccaneers are going to be looking to address the running back position and perhaps the most talented running back in the draft is J.K. Dobbins.

Dobbins is explosive, solid in pass-protection and can catch the ball out of the backfield. If Tampa Bay wants him, they’ll have to use the second-round pick on him, but that explosiveness and pure athleticism may be too much to pass on as the Bucs look to improve a rushing attack that has been near the bottom of the league for the last half-decade.

DT Davon Hamilton (Round 3)

Davon Hamilton is the most underrated defensive prospect in the entire draft, in my opinion. Hamilton won’t likely go off the board until the third-round, but could be the most promising interior defensive lineman in the draft.

If Tampa Bay looks to move away from Ndamukong Suh, Hamilton would be the perfect mid-round prospect to fill that position and provide depth in that front-seven.

S Jordan Fuller (Round 3-5)

Jordan Fuller will also most likely go in the third round, but we could see him drop depending on the need of safety from other organizations.

If the Buccaneers could get Fuller with a fourth-round pick, it’d be an absolute steal.

If Tampa Bay chose to address the position earlier, Fuller still might be a great option. He showed great athleticism and physicality and would be a solid addition to the back-end of that Tampa secondary.
