TAMPA, Fla. -- Here's a look at the first half impact of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' draft class:

O.J. Howard, TE, first round: Howard's been an asset to the ground game. He's not afraid to stick his face in there against some pretty good pass-rushers like Mario Addison, and when he's gotten the ball in his hands -- like the touchdown against the New York Giants or the two he had against the Buffalo Bills -- he's been solid. The only complaint? They have to find ways to get him the ball more.
