Chris Godwin Gave Bucs Third-Round Value

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers did something in last year's draft that they hadn't done in over a decade: They selected a wide receiver in the third round.

When it comes to the draft, the Buccaneers of recent vintage have tended to get their wideouts in the first two rounds or much later. In 2014, for instance, Tampa Bay used the seventh overall pick on Mike Evans then spent a sixth-rounder on Robert Herron. The biggest exception in the past decade was Mike Williams, a fourth-round pick in 2010 that paid off, more so than the second-rounder the team used on Arrelious Benn that same year.
