48. <p>The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took a strong step forward on offense this year after drafting Jameis Winston No. 1 overall. The rookie threw for over 3,700 yards and completed 22 touchdowns for the Bucs and helped jump-start a franchise struggling to find its identity. Winson certainly has done that on the field, while staying reliable off the field.</p> <p>Defensively, the Buccaneers need a new face. They finished the season with a mediocre 34 sacks, definitely not enough to make a strong impact in a division dominated by only one team. To beat teams like the Panthers, the Bucs will have to be able to better rush the quarterback and disrupt offenses.</p> <p>Enter Emanuel Ogbah from Oklahoma State. The Cowboys defensive end had a breakout season last year, leading the conference with 11 sacks and a strong 17 tackles for loss. He’s incredibly, no, freakishly athletic for the position. While talented as a pass rusher, he can also drop into coverage from the linebacker position and make strong open field tackles. A defensive minded coach like Lovie Smith will love to get his hands on Ogbah and mold him into a great NFL sack master. Great value pick at nine overall for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.</p> <p><strong>Previous Pick:</strong> Emanuel Ogbah, DE </p>. Defensive End. Oklahoma State. Emanuel Ogbah. 9. player
