*TRADE*
No. 21 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-11) via BUF
The Pick: Sony Michel, RB, Georgia
With the release of Doug Martin, though not surprising, the Buccaneers are left with an unknown for the their running back position.
Jacquizz Rodgers is under contract for one more year, but appears to be a depth player for the Buccaneers. Charles Sims is an unrestricted free agent and might not be back. Peyton Barber, who finished the years as the team’s starter, played well down the stretch, but well enough to warrant a feature role by himself? That’s unlikely.
The Bucs are likely going to be players in bringing in a free agent running back, but likely will spend one of their Top 100 picks (first three rounds) in the 2018 NFL Draft on running back, too.
If they make the deal with Buffalo to move back to the 21st and 22nd spots, expect one of them to be for a running back. Georgia’s Sony Michel should be a top option.
