Flashback to 2016 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have just traded back into the second round to make another selection. Kevin Byard? Yannick Ngakoue? Neither; the Buccaneers selected Florida State kicker Roberto Aguayo with a second round pick.
Byard and Ngakoue are now Pro Bowlers, Byard the richest safety in NFL history, Ngakoue set to see a healthy payday while the Buccaneers have struggled off the edge and at safety. While the analytics and data are well against utilizing any draft pick on special teamers, a second round pick is certainly too steep of a price.
