2018 NFL Mock Draft: Giants land Sam Darnold

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers came into the 2017 NFL season with plenty of expectations on them, as they looked to be a team heading towards the playoffs. Coming off another solid season by young quarterback Jameis Winston, the team added a huge offensive weapon in DeSean Jackson. Well, the Buccaneers ended up being one of the more disappointing teams in the NFL this past season, and their head coach nearly lost his job in the process.

Starting over is not an option, as this team has enough talent to make a playoff run next season. The NFC South sent three teams to the playoffs this past season, so they have a lot of work to do in their own division. One area where they need to upgrade is along the defensive line, and that includes bringing in a legitimate pass rusher on the edge.

Arden Key is an incredibly talented edge rusher from LSU, who many believe is the second-best pass rusher in this draft class. During his time at LSU, he showed the kind of speed and size that will land him in the top-10, and the Bucs need someone with his skill set on this roster. In their division alone, they play Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, and Cam Newton twice a year, so Key will have plenty of opportunity to chase quarterbacks if he lands with the Bucs in April.
