Not a great amount of detail, but the part about Bond is good. Maybe he could develop into a future starting SAM and special teams ace. https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2016/04/30/draft-2016-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/ Tampa Bay Buccaneers, B-1 (11) (from Chicago) Vernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida2 (39) Noah Spence, DE, Eastern Kentucky2 (59) (from Kansas City) Roberto Aguayo, K, Florida State4 (108) Ryan Smith, CB, North Carolina Central5 (148) Caleb Benenoch, OT, UCLA6 (183) Devante Bond, OLB, Oklahoma6 (197) (from Washington) Dan Vitale, FB, NorthwesternDay 1: We had Hargreaves going to the Bucs in our mock drafts quite a few times, and on Thursday the Bucs were able to trade back and still get their guy. Hargreave’s movement skills are exceptional, as he can close on the ball as quickly as any corner in the draft, and he’s excellent when playing the ball in the air. He took a step back in 2015, but Hargreaves posted the No. 2 coverage grade in the nation in 2014.Day 2: Spence may be the best pure pass-rusher in the draft after he dominated Senior Bowl practice and notched seven pressures in the game. He’s not great against the run, but it may not matter if he’s productive off the edge. It is an incredibly risky move to take a kicker in the second round, no matter how good they think Aguayo is, with so much talent still on the board. That they traded up to do it makes the move even worse.Day 3: Smith had two passes defensed on six targets in his two games against FBS competition in 2015. Benenoch has good straightline speed but he has to block better to stick in the NFL (-1.3, 61st in the class). Bond showed well on his 439 snaps last season, grading at +8.0 against the run and +3.8 in coverage.
