Another edge that can probably kick inside.  Ramirez and Watts experiments are officially over.

SR says he's actually a DT.

I am sure they will use him in a rotation on the inside but he has the versatility as a stand up rusher.  

Great value pick as the Bucs desperately needed to add a pass rushing player in the inside to rotate with Kancey.

I like his versatility - he mentioned in draft interview how SMU played him all across the line.

Elijah Roberts is coming on strong, but he got little attention after the draft. In fact, David Walker was sort of the unanimous impact rookie on the defense.

 

Injuries always rob teams, but what if Walker, Kancey . . 

 

this is in todays Fab 5

 

"But little was expected from fifth-round pick Elijah Roberts this season, as the SMU product was transitioning from being an edge rusher in college to playing defensive tackle in the NFL.

Yet Roberts has steadily improved from an impressive preseason to surpassing veterans Logan Hall and Greg Gaines in snaps along the defensive line. Roberts has quickly picked up Todd Bowles defense and worked extremely hard at his craft. He’s got eight tackles and has two games with half a sack so far, as well as two pass breakups at the line of scrimmage. But Roberts is really coming on and look for this promising young pass rusher to fill up the stats sheet more in the second half of the season."

Thee Logan Hall?!?!?! 

He's also "versatile".
