With the 2018 NFL Draft in a couple weeks, draft analysts have been honing in on mock drafts and predicted strategies for all 32 NFL clubs. Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks broke down what they think Tampa Bay should do at number seven overall on Wednesday.
The pair pegged Saquon Barkley out of Penn State as the Buccaneers’ ideal first round pick. A talent like Barkley could boost Tampa Bay’s running game and become an instant complement to running backs Jacquizz Rodgers and Peyton Barber.
Recognizing that Barkley may be well off the board before the Bucs have a chance to select the running back, they offered another option in guard Quenton Nelson out of Notre Dame.
