Six QBs selected in first round

There were five guys I really liked on the board at 26, and two of them made it here. The Bucs could certainly use a dynamic edge rusher to replace departing veteran Shaq Barrett, and UCLA’s Laiatu Latu is hard to pass up at this spot. That said, he’s an older prospect (will turn 24 late in his rookie season), and comes with medical concerns stemming from a neck injury that forced him to retire from football earlier in his college career. He was dominant after getting a clean bill of health and transferring from Washington to UCLA, but the injury history still looms as a risk. The Bucs are desperate for an upgrade at left guard, though, and with a talent like Latham still on the board, I just can’t pass up the chance to move such a massive, powerful blocker inside from his usual tackle spot. He just turned 21, and would immediately improve Tampa Bay’s struggling ground game, while also providing rare pass protection ability for an interior blocker. Especially after moving back and adding an extra third-round pick, this is a massive steal in terms of talent, and fills one of the Bucs’ biggest needs in the starting lineup.
