BUCS’ BEST BET AT G (EARLY 1-3)
G Forrest Lamp – Western Kentucky – Senior – 6-4, 309 – 5.00
Lamp played left tackle at Western Kentucky, but like Bucs offensive lineman Ali Marpet, will be moved inside to guard at the next level due to his 6-foot-4, 309-pound frame and short arms (32 and 1/4 inches). Lamp did a phenomenal job against future NFL pass rushers like Alabama’s Tim Williams, Florida State’s Trey Hendrickson and LSU’s Arden Key in college has amazingly quick feet (5.0 in the 40-yard dash) and strength (34 reps of 225 pounds). Lamp, a four-year starter, is so athletic that he scored a touchdown in the Hilltoppers’ bowl game on a tackle eligible screen pass. So why would the Bucs need another guard, especially one in the first round with J.R. Sweezy’s return from injury? Lamp may truly be the best player available at No. 19 and with Marpet’s move to center and left guard Kevin Pamphile and reserve Evan Smith in a contract year, the Bucs could actually be thin at the position after the 2017 season.

BUCS’ BEST BET AT G (LATE 4-7)
G Isaac Asiata – Utah – Senior – 6-3, 323 – 5.34
Asiata, the cousin of former Utah and current Minnesota Vikings runner Matt Asiata, is one of this year’s strongest draft prospects after benching 225 pounds 34 times at the NFL Scouting Combine. He began his Utah career at right tackle, but then was moved to left guard where he was a three-year starter, earning All-Pac 12 honors as a junior and senior. Asiata is a very physical, aggressive, tough football player in the mold of Tampa Bay’s Sweezy and Marpet. While he isn’t great getting to the second level and on pulls, Asiata does his best work in a phone booth where he manhandles opponents at the line of scrimmage in run blocking and pass protection. Asiata is a hard worker that would fit in well in George Warhop’s offensive line room, and Warhop even went to Utah to work out Asiata and highly touted left tackle Garett Bolles this offseason. If the Bucs indeed want to shore up the depth at guard, Asiata may be the team’s third- or fourth-round pick.
