#7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Sammy Watkins, WR Clem
Rory’s Take: With Lovie Smith having this job and Tedford being the offensive coordinator, I see the Bucanneers sticking with Glennon and instead surrounding him in talent as opposed to drafting a quarterback.
Chase’s Take: This all depends on how the Buccaneers see former HC Greg Schiano’s guy in Glennon. If they keep out their biases and rate him like the best rookie QB of the 2013 season that he was, then they should give him a true playmaker to stretch the field. Sammy Watkins performance against Ohio State showed his class, and he absolutely demoralized the Buckeyes defense by doing a bit of everything. Screen passes, designed runs, and even going up for the ball. I see Watkins as a more physical Percy Harvin which will intrigue at least a handful of teams inside of the Top Ten.
