Upgrade At DT?




This year's strongest position group in the upcoming draft is easily the defensive tackles in which many of them could be first round picks. With Henry Melton and Tony Mcdaniel both being free agents, I think Bucs will be in position to get a upgrade at defensive tackle to pair with Gerald McCoy in the second or third round. I think Jon Bullard out of Florida would be a nice addition as he can play both inside and outside providing good versatility. At 6'3 290, Bullard has the size and speed you look for in DT/DE type. Bullard was outstanding in 2015 with 17.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks improving from his previous year of 8.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks.

Bullard would be a great complementary player next to McCoy where he could push the pocket and take on double teams allowing McCoy to be more effective. If Bullard is there in the second round, I think it would be very good value for the Bucs and would add a young talented lineman in the process.
