Vernon Hargreaves will compete for a starting role, contribute singificantly

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers haven't talked much about the specific roles they're seeing each of their draft picks in, but general manager Jason Licht lifted the veil a little today while talking to Mike Florio on Pro Football Talk Live on NBC Sports Radio. Licht specifically talked about the expectations for first-round pick Vernon Hargreaves as a rookie.

"We expect him to make significant contributions. He's going to compete for a starting role, that's for sure. One way or another he's going to be on the field. We picked him at eleven, we would have taken him at number nine.
