The Tampa Bay Buccaneers need a pass rusher. They've needed one ever since they cut Simeon Rice, nearly a decade ago. They haven't been able to find one, but not for a lack of trying. Among the free agency and draft busts since then: Gaines Adams, Adrian Clayborn, Da'Quan Bowers and Michael Johnson. Every year the team tries to find someone, and every year they fail.
This time, things may be the same. It is difficult to find explosive, consistent edge rushers in this draft. You end up looking at players like DeForest Buckner, who's more of a 3-4 end than an explosive edge rusher, or players like Emmanuel Ogbah and Shaq Lawson, who look more methodical and solid than difference-making.
