Bucs draft analysis: Running back

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers have eight selections, including the No. 1 overall pick, in the 2015 NFL draft to be held Thursday-May 2 in Chicago. Tampa Bay has one pick in each of the seven rounds, plus an additional pick in the seventh. In the week leading up to the draft, The Tampa Tribune will examine the team’s needs at one position per day.

RUNNING BACK

There is no pressing need for the Buccaneers to draft a running back. Though he struggled the past two years to regain the Pro Bowl form he displayed as a rookie in 2012, the Bucs have a legitimate starting-caliber back in Doug Martin.
