Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Pewter Plank mock draft compilation
By Rob Leeds
Seth Hibel
Round 1: Jedrick Wills, OT, Alabama
Wills was the last available OT with the Elite status, and he is everything the Buccaneers could want. a 6’5″ 320 pound OT with a tremendous display of strength should make an immediate impact in the pass protection for the Buccaneers.
Round 2: Jeremy Chinn, S Southern Illinois
Chinn is a prototypical pick for the Buccaneers, a player in the secondary from a small school that is less known. Chinn would make a big impact becoming the largest safety in size on the roster.
Round 3: Jacob Eason, QB, Washington
This pick makes sense Eason is a talented QB with a cannon for an arm. He isn’t being picked to start immediately but to learn from Tom Brady and prepare for the future.
Round 4: Bradlee Anae, Edge, Utah
Anae is a quick edge rusher with an explosive first step. He is known for his effort plays, a great work ethic, hustles every play, and best of all, he is a ballhawk. Anae could be a playmaker that gets the ball back in the offense’s hands.
Round 4: Lamical Perine, RB, Florida
Perine is a very diverse back, the offense for the Gators practically was run through him. He was used heavily in the passing game and was able to power through the opposing teams’ defensive lines. He is a back that could pair nicely with Ronald Jones and be a favorite for Tom Brady
Round 5: Tyler Johnson, WR, Minnesota
This pick adds the 3rd WR the Buccaneers have been looking for and is a steal in the fifth round. Johnson is equivalent in size to Chris Godwin, lacking a bit on speed, but that didn’t stop him from being among one of the best receivers in the nation, earning first-team all-conference honors.
Round 6: Broderick Washington JR, DT, Texas Tech
Late in the draft is where you bolster certain positions. Well, here we find Broderick Washington, a powerful tackle that, if used effectively, can be a formidable backup to Vita Vea. He would fit in nicely in Todd Bowles’ 3-4 scheme.
