Bucs Need a Back? Try Round Two

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers own the seventh pick in the first round of the upcoming NFL Draft and, according to many analysts, they also have a significant need in the offensive backfield. There is one available running back, Penn State's Saquon Barkley, who is considered an immediate fortune-changer in the mold of Ezekiel Elliott or Leonard Fournette. Unfortunately for the Buccaneers – if in fact those inside One Buccaneer Place agree with the outside assessment of their needs – most draft analysts also expect Barkley to be off the board by pick number seven, and there are no other running back prospects regarded nearly as highly as him.
