Is Jason Licht Thinking 2012 Draft?

The 2012 draft for the Buccaneers was a pretty memorable one as it landed three players that are top talents in the game today. That being former Buc Mark Barron, and current Bucs Doug Martin, and Lavonte David, all of whom have been impact players in the league. Former Bucs Gm Mark Dominik did some smart trades in that draft which allowed him to get three players in the top 60. With the 2016 draft coming up soon perhaps current Bucs Gm Jason Licht is thinking of recreating the 2012 draft haul.

If the Bucs could move down a few spots allowing them to pick up an extra third or fourth round pick, it would allow Licht to be more aggressive to move back into the first round or late second round. If able to move out of the top ten, could see the Bucs taking guys like Shaq Lawson, Noah Spence, or a playmaker like Corey Coleman. Then with extra picks in hand, Bucs could then target an safety like Vonn Bell, or perhaps corner William Jackson by trading back into the late first round.

I have mention before the Bucs should consider trading down because there is a lot of quality players that will fall in the 2nd and 3rd round range where having extra picks would be beneficial. Jason Licht will stay true to his board, but this could be the year Licht makes multiple trades to get more impact players for the Bucs like Dominik did in 2012. Either way, Licht has proved he knows what he is doing when it comes to the NFL Draft.
