Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Scouts Inc. on 2016 class

1 (11): Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida | Highlights

What he brings: Hargreaves is an undersized cornerback who is one of the most instinctive and natural man coverage cornerbacks in this class. He shows smooth and balanced movement skills to mirror receivers, and he displays excellent anticipation and ball awareness. On the flip side, he lacks ideal measurables and doesn't have elite top-end speed, which brings up some concerns about his downfield range against elite receivers at the next level. Overall, he has the football intelligence, the movement skills and the willingness in run support to develop into a quality starting cornerback outside the hashes or become one of the better nickelbacks in the NFL.

How he fits: First-year defensive coordinator Mike Smith's heavy zone scheme is a good fit for Hargreaves. This scheme will allow him to minimize the downfield range concerns and allow him to line up outside the hashes, while also letting him maximize his playmaking anticipation and ball skills to manufacture turnovers. Hargreaves provides the versatility to bump inside to the slot where he could ultimately end up and be most effective as a player. -- Kevin Weidl


2 (39): Noah Spence, OLB, Eastern Kentucky | Highlights

What he brings: Spence is arguably the most natural edge rusher of this class and an ideal fit as a 3-4 outside linebacker. He's not an elite athlete like Von Miller or Khalil Mack, but he has above-average initial quickness, quality bend and is an efficient hand fighter. Spence needs to continue to develop his instincts as a run defender but he shows the ability to stack the edge when playing with quality leverage. He is one of the bigger high-risk/high-reward prospects due to off-field red flags -- he was dismissed from Ohio State for Ecstasy use. -- Kevin Weidl

How he fits: Tampa Bay needs to bolster a pass defense that finished dead last in opponent completion percentage (70.0), 31st in opponent passer rating (102.0) and tied for 25th in touchdown passes allowed last year. Adding corner Vernon Hargreaves in Round 1 and now Spence in the second should help bolster that pass defense. Spence is capable of making an immediate impact rushing the passer. -- Steve Muench


2 (59): Roberto Aguayo, K, Florida State | Highlights

What he brings: Aguayo is a three-time All-American who is the most accurate place-kicker in NCAA history. In addition, he has the confidence and leg strength to handle kick-off duties. Aguayo has the potential to develop into one of the top kickers in the NFL. -- Kevin Weidl

How he fits: Aguayo joined Deion Sanders as the only two Florida State players to be named first-team All-Americans three times. He declared for the draft as a redshirt junior. Statistically, he's the most accurate kicker in NCAA history. He represents a potential upgrade over Connor Barth, but this is too early for a kicker even one as talented as Aguayo. -- Steve Muench


4 (108): Ryan Smith, CB, North Carolina Central | Highlights

What he brings: A four-year starter, Smith is a fluid corner with the quickness and balance to mirror in man coverage. He shows above-average instincts and a good feel for route concepts as well. The downside is he's undersized. He doesn't match up well with bigger receivers and he graded out as a below-average run-stopper. There are also concerns about the level of competition Smith faced in the FCS and to a lesser degree a nagging knee injury that hindered him last season. -- Steve Muench


5 (148): Caleb Benenoch, OL, UCLA | Highlights

What he brings: A versatile player with experience at tackle and guard, Benenoch gets good initial surge as a run blocker and he's tough to beat when his technique is sound in pass protection. He also flashes the nasty disposition that teams covet in their offensive linemen. That said, Benenoch hasn't realized his potential, as he needs to do a better job of sinking his hips and consistently shooting his hands inside. -- Steve Muench


6 (183): Devante Bond, OLB, Oklahoma | Highlights

What he brings: Bond is a smaller linebacker and junior college transfer who started just seven games at the FBS level and missed five games with an ankle injury last year. He is above-average range as a run defender and his test results were encouraging when it comes to his ability to develop his cover skills. However, he lacks ideal length for a 3-4 outside linebacker and instincts for a 4-3 weakside linebacker. -- Steve Muench


6 (197): Dan Vitale, FB, Northwestern | Highlights

What he brings: A four-year starter and the top fullback on our board, Vitale is a versatile player who has lined up in the backfield, in the slot and at tight end. He's a reliable receiver with enough quickness to separate from linebackers and the football acumen to locate pockets in zone looks. He does an above-average job of locating assignments and getting into position as a blocker. Vitale has the potential to develop into a core special-teams contributor. -- Steve Muench


Mel Kiper's Draft Grade: B-

Kiper: First, to the really important stuff. I keep hearing people taking digs at the Bucs for drafting a kicker in Round 2, but Roberto Aguayo really is the kind of guy you take in Round 2. With PATs moved back and the fact that so many games come down to that one big kick, at that point it just doesn't look that bad. OK ... so about those other guys. Vernon Hargreaves III has some questions on size -- can he stay on the outside? -- but the guy is going to be on the field early on, which is a plus at that position. Noah Spence is one of the top two or three pass-rushers in the entire draft and they got him at No. 39. You can live with that. Ryan Smith has potential in nickel packages and they were smart to add another tackle in Caleb Benenoch. Dan Vitale should stick.

So why isn't the grade higher? It's because those top two picks represent at least some risk. Can Hargreaves handle the bigger receivers that dot the NFL? Can Spence stay focused? It's a good draft but isn't without a question or two.


Todd McShay's favorite pick

1 (11): Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida

One of the worst-kept secrets in the draft was that the Bucs loved Hargreaves. And while I would've taken Leonard Floyd or Sheldon Rankins at No. 9, I liked the fact that they traded down to No. 11, recouping a fourth-rounder from Chicago in the process, and still got their guy. Hargreaves has outstanding instincts and ball skills, intercepting 10 passes over three seasons. The Bucs badly need help in the secondary after ranking 32st in opponent-completion percentage (70.0), 31st in passer rating (102.5) and tied for 25th in TD passes allowed (31).
