A little bit surprised but not surprised that the team would use a first round pick on a WR given the current state of the roster.  It seems to me that the team felt they could have won several contests last year if they had another competent WR in the line up when Godwin and Evans were out with their respective injuries.

Doesn't mean that the Bucs do not shore up the defense with some of their picks but I do not see the Bucs ignoring offense on day 2 or day 3.  

Licht was serious when he said they were going BAP and Bowles hinted as much that they wanted to really shore up the offense to score more points.

Yeah, I was pulling for a WR as a disruptor pick - but like the few who felt the same - I was thinking it would be Golden, due to his speed.

Really like Emeka Egbuka for the reasons you point out. Mike & Chris have reached the point in their careers where injuries are causing them to miss some games. Having two competent receivers in JMac & Egbuka to sub for either rotate in or sub for injuries - without a lot of drop off, or having the OC change our playcalling - seems like an absolute cheat code. Also lengthens Mike & Chris careers.

I took Licht at his word - and while he surprised us - he was true to his word!
