Buccaneers make bold play by taking kicker Roberto Aguayo in the second round

TAMPA, Fla. -- In a surprise move, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded up in the second round to take Florida State kicker Roberto Aguayo at No. 59 overall. It cost them their third-round pick (No. 74) and one of their fourth-round selections (No. 106). But in the process, the Bucs might have gained a special-teams staple that will make them forget their recent problems in the area.

My take: At first glance, this is an eyebrow-raiser. Really, taking a kicker this high when the Bucs have other needs? Really, using the fourth-round pick gained in the trade with the Chicago Bears on Thursday to move up 15 spots here?
