The NFL Draft is closing in as we move past the all-star games in Texas and Alabama and onto the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. After the Shrine and Senior Bowl practices and games, some new players have emerged.
One of the players who emerged from the Senior Bowl practices is now seen as a perfect fit for the Bucs in the NFL Draft.
The Draft Network looked at potential fits for Marshall’s Mike Green. The edge rusher has been rising up draft boards all year long, and after the Senior Bowl, his stock is attached to a rocketship.
Justin Melo writes, “The Tampa Bay Buccaneers recorded a sixth-best 46.0 sacks this past campaign. General manager Jason Licht believes in fielding a fierce pass rush, as does his head coach Todd Bowles. Together, Licht and Bowles also believe in keeping the cupboard full, reserving the right to rotate several defensive linemen up front.”
Melo kept things simple when describing how Green fits with head coach Todd Bowles’ defense, and it wasn’t a hard sell.
“Green would be an outstanding fit for Bowles’ scheme, one that would offer him an opportunity to attack opposing backfields with speed and relentlessness.”
The only problem with Green is whether he will be available at pick 19 or whether the team will have to trade up for him. Time will tell, but he is certainly a dream fit for the team.
