Tampa Bay BuccaneersÂ
It might be a bit unfair to use this as a battering ram, but here it goes anyway: Bucs general manager Jason Licht used a second round pick last year to draft a kicker.
A. SECOND. ROUND. PICK!
Roberto Aguayo didn’t exactly live up to expectations, either, making just 71 percent of his attempts last year. And he isn’t even guaranteed a roster spot in 2017 (more on that here).
In all fairness to Licht, he’s done a very nice job building up his team at other positions. Most notably, he didn’t overthink things in 2015 when he selected Jameis Winston No. 1 overall. He also drafted Mike Evans in the first round the year before, brought in starters Ali Marpet, Donovan Smith, Kwon Alexander, Vernon Hargreaves and rising star Noah Spence.
Now comes the time when Licht must start fine tuning the roster and drafting for future needs. It’s going to be fascinating to see what he does in the next year or two. But forgive us if we just can’t trust a man who did what he did last year.
