Buccaneers: 3 players Tampa Bay will regret not drafting
1. J.K. Dobbins, RB
It was the right decision to select Antoine Winfield Jr. over J.K. Dobbins. That still won’t stop the Bucs from regretting the decision later down the road.
Jason Licht showed great discipline and poise not pulling the plug and drafting Dobbins in the second-round. Instead, he helped shore-up that defensive backfield with an elite safety selection.
Even though it was the right decision, I have a feeling we will see many regret not seeing Dobbins in Tampa before it’s all said and done.
In my opinion, he was the most explosive running back in the draft. He’s a guy that would’ve fit into the system perfectly and would’ve eventually overtaken Ronald Jones II for the starting job. He’s just that good.

Again, it was the right decision to not take a running back that early, but that won’t help when we see Dobbins busting out for 1,000-yard seasons and Pro Bowl honors in the next couple of years.
