Could Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl Champion LT Sign With New Orleans Saints?
When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted left tackle Donovan Smith from Penn State in 2015, he was supposed to pair with quarterback Jameis Winston and help lead the organization to their second Super Bowl title. Unfortunately, it didn't work out for the Buccaneers, but Smith was a Super Bowl Champion six years later when the organization brought in quarterback Tom Brady who turned out to be the missing piece.

OL
Position
- Draft Grade: A
- Pre-Draft Rank: 12
- School: Duke
- Height: 6' 5"

Expert Commentary
Barton is a stud offensive lineman who can play all five positions up front. He was announced as a center, so he may wind up on the interior after playing left tackle at Duke, but he’s well-equipped for the move. He’s the most versatile lineman in the draft and the Buccaneers may have just gotten a steal.

Expert Commentary
Braswell is a solid, if unspectacular edge rusher. He’s got some burst up the field, but projects more as a tertiary rushing option rather than a lead dog. Still, a nice player to have on your roster even if he’s not a star.

Expert Commentary
Safety depth here is a solid pull for the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay has a solid third safety or depth safety to pair with Antoine Winfield Jr. for the long term.

Expert Commentary
The third Washington wide receiver is off the board, giving the Huskies six offensive players drafted from their national runner-up team. McMillan is a strong get for the Buccaneers and should compete for starting 11 personnel reps off the bat.
