Bucs Had Multiple Coaches And Scouts At UF Pro Day




The Buccaneers coaches and scouts have been busy this offseason as it seems they have been at every pro day so far. Today was no different as according to Jenna Laine, the Bucs had at least four of their staff in attendance for Florida's pro day.
In addition to Hudspeth, the Bucs had secondary coach Jon Hoke, assistant defensive line coach Paul Spicer, and national scout Bryon Kiefer to get a closer look at guys like Vernon Hargreaves, Keanu Neal, and Jonathan Bullard. Secondary coach Jon Hoke was seen working out Hargreaves and Neal and could be potential targets for the team. Jonathan Bullard had a big day and was talking with coach Spicer after the workouts, and realbucstalk is a fan of his and have said he could be a potential second round target if he is available.

Its good to see the Bucs scouts and coaches getting in front of these prospects which is probably why Jason Licht has had two great drafts since he has been the Gm. I can see the Bucs taking any of these top guys out of Florida as Hargreaves is a real possibility at 9th overall. The Bucs staff will have their homework done, that's for sure.

Hargreaves Impresses At Pro Day




Vernon Hargreaves was considered a top ten pick before today, and will no doubt be a top ten pick after his excellent pro day performance he had today. Gil Brandt of NFL.com said he was very impressive in his positional drills.
Cornerback Vernon Hargreaves -- 5-foot-10 1/2, 207 pounds -- was outstanding in his positional drills. He has everything you look for in a corner, quickness and cover skills. I think he just cemented his top-10 status in the 2016NFL Draft.
Hargreaves is a very solid corner, and has great athletic ability which allows him to make a lot of plays on the ball. Scouts question his size and think he will struggle with the bigger receivers but with a 40 inch vertical in his back pocket, I don't see teams seeing that as a major weakness. Hargreaves could go as high as number 5 to Jacksonville, and should be a solid pro for whoever takes him.
