#7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Khalil Mack, OLB Buff
Rory’s Take: Mack can be a nice 43 defensive end if he adds some meat to him and continues to develop some moves. He bends the edge well and converts speed to power, but he needs to refine his game a little more. The Bucs need to assist McCoy with an outside pass rush especially with a primarily zone system coming in.
Chase’s Take: Mack is extremely talented, but lacks experience against elite competition playing in the MAC with Buffalo. Here we have him going in the Top 10 to a Bucs team that could load up on defense with Lovie Smith coming in to take the reigns of a Tampa Bay team that has some promise.
