Jason Licht loves drafting lineman, as he has drafted three in his first two drafts all being offensive but now its time to get some on defense. The good news is this draft has good value in defensive lineman that will be available on day 2 and 3.
One guy I like is defensive tackle Javon Hargrave out of South Carolina State. Hargrave,22 measuring in at 6'2, 295lbs, he brings good leverage and quickness which allows him to get to the quarterback often putting up 13.5 sacks this past season. Not only did he get to the quarterback, but he made plays in the backfield with 22.5 tackles for loss which displays his quickness off the ball and is a pretty good penetrator. After drafting a small school guy like Ali Marpet last year, who was an absolute home run, you gotta think Licht could go back to that again with a guy like Hargrave who could be the next Geno Atkins.
The Bucs need help on defense, and by adding Hargrave it would be a great start to fixing it. Hargrave is playing today in the East-West Shrine game for the East team, tune in at 4pm on the NFL Network. Watch the interview below courtesy of Football Gameplan, Hargrave describes himself as a big 300lb point guard.
