Joey Bosa to Fall Come Draft Day?




As we all know the Bucs need to improve their pass rush for the upcoming season, and a great way to do that is through the NFL Draft. This group of defensive lineman in this 2016 draft class is quite deep and very impressive to say the least. The best of the group is defensive end Joey Bosa out of Ohio State who is very sound on his technique and brings a non-stop motor as he is relentless in finishing plays to the whistle. With less than three weeks away from the draft, this is the time where rumors began to fly around and an interesting one came up about Bosa per walterfootball.com
I asked a few teams if either Ohio State defensive end Joey Bosa or if Oregon defensive lineman DeForest Buckner could slide in the top 10. The answers were that Buckner shouldn't be available to the Buccaneers and Giants picking ninth and 10th, respectively. Bosa had that possibility. Part of the difference is teams love Buckner off the field, and Bosa is just OK on the character/intangible grades. 
What a gift that would be for the Bucs if Bosa fell to them at 9th overall, Jason Licht would be ecstatic to get a talent like Bosa who is the most complete defensive end in this draft. Bosa would be a instant impact starter for this team and would provide help for Gerald McCoy as both would cause havoc for opposing offenses. Bosa feels he is the best player in the draft, and has the work ethic and desire to be one of the greats. Bosa has the size at 6'5 269lbs 33 inch arms, and passed the athletic testing with 4.77 40 along with 6.89 three cone, and 4.21 short shuttle which are outstanding. Most likely Bosa will be a top 6 selection, but crazy things do happen in the draft so maybe there is a chance for the Bucs to land him at 9.
