Bucs after Dark: Decoding Tampa Bay Buccaneers draft plans

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and general manager Jason Licht have always been hard to predict in terms of their draft plans. Last year, Licht shocked everybody by selecting Washington’s Vita Vea over Florida State’s Derwin James, and in 2016 he traded back into the second round to select kicker Roberto Aguayo.

Entering a make-or-break 2019 season, Licht and the Buccaneers cannot afford any cute maneuvers or sexy picks as he has attempted to make in the past. While Licht is a hard man to figure out, we attempt to crack the code to the Buccaneers draft plans this year based off of team needs and the players who have come into town.
