OT. Alabama. Cam Robinson. 13. player. 48. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers can obviously have that explosive offense with QB Jameis Winston coming along. He has a long time to play with WR Mike Evans and they will make history together. RB Doug Martin running the ball for them brings the balance that offense needs too. <p>That big offensive line offensive line can come off the ball and and grade the road for Martin. But they need to improve a whole lot in pass protection if Winston is going to make that history with Evans. There isn’t a QB on planet Earth that can make things happen from his back.</p> <p>So at No. 13 overall in the 2017 NFL draft, the Buccaneers’ selection is OT Cam Robinson. Robinson is a road-grader himself so the run blocking will be there along with the improved pass protection. Donovan Smith can move to OG and the Buccaneers would have a solid left side of the line.</p> <p>And Winston would have the protection he needs to be the kind of QB he is capable of being. The defensive side of the ball, will all come together next year around DT Gerald McCoy and the recent draft picks. The Buccaneers would then have a shot at winning the NFC South and more in 2017.</p>
