22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Arden Key, DE, LSU. The Buccaneers might have the best young linebacking corps in all of football with Lavonte David, Kendall Beckwith, and Kwon Alexander, and Gerald McCoy is a monster every season at defensive tackle. They need edge-rushing help in the worst way. Key hasn't appeared to be in the best of shape early this season. When conditioned and fully healthy, he's a devastating defensive end with 15-plus sack potential.
I don't see Key falling that low, but you never know. If he does, hell yes!

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Bradley Chubb, DE, N.C.State
Robert Ayers is just a temporary solution for the Buccaneers at defensive end. They'll need a long-term starter across from Noah Spence to help put pressure on Cam Newton, Matt Ryan and Drew Brees.
This would be another "hell yes!"

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame
Sources have told me that the Buccaneers have had preliminary contract-extension talks with left guard Kevin Pamphile, which is wise of Tampa Bay general manager Jason Licht because Pamphile is an underrated player and there will be an expensive guard market next year in free agency. I think Ari Marpet is going to be an excellent center for Tampa Bay, and J.R. Sweezy should lock down right guard. However, Donovan Smith has been somewhat inconsistent and Demar Dotson, who turns 32 this coming season, wasn't as good last year. If the Bucs' tackles don't play well this year, the team could take a left tackle in the 2018 NFL Draft and move Smith to the right side to upgrade two spots. Dotson has a cheap contract and could still be a valuable as a swing tackle backup. Getting a young tackle makes sense considering before too long Tampa Bay will be investing well over $100 million into an extension for Jameis Winston.
McGlinchey was very impressive at left tackle for the Fighting Irish in 2016. He looked natural in pass protection, and one wouldn't have thought that he wasn't playing the position before last season. McGlinchey has excellent feet to get depth in his kick slide and cut off speed rushers. As a run blocker, McGlinchey can get movement at the point of attack. He flashes heavy hands to push defenders out of their gaps and open holes for his back. McGlinchey also has a nice ability to bend at the knee, and that in combination with his feet, keeps him from having to reach after edge rushers. His performance in 2016 protecting DeShone Kizer is evidence that McGlinchey is a future starting left tackle in the NFL and a first-round pick.
McGlinchey (6-7, 310) is a tough run blocker and has been part of a good Notre Dame line for years. In 2015, he showed well as a right tackle and had a more physical style of play than former Notre Dame left tackle Ronnie Stanley. The one area that McGlinchey really needs to improve is his repeated problem with false starts.
