Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Grading the first round

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers is as divided Friday as they were Thursday night, if not more so. Many were not thrilled with the pick of Washington defensive tackle Vita Vea with their first round selection. Some feel it was the final piece of a completely revamped defensive line that is looking to improve from their worst in the NFL ranking in 2017.

I’m sort of in between.

I was taken by surprise with Vea being their guy, as most everyone was. Yes, there were more pressing needs. Yes, Derwin James is a great talent that would have filled one of those needs.
