45. player. 48. Pick Analysis. RB. Wisconsin. Jonathan Taylor. Scouting Report

Tom Brady has the Tampa Buccaneers on a collision course with Super Bowl 55. The team is clearly all in for 2020, as they have added Rob Gronkowski to the mix as well. Their first-round pick was used to take tackle Tristan Wirfs.

The offensive focus could continue as Jonathan Taylor is a great fit for a Brady offense. At Wisconsin, won the Doak Walker Award twice, and was a finalist an additional time. He had a heavy workload, which worries some, but he can step in immediately and make an impact. If the Bucs are all in, truly, they won’t be as concerned with that workload and would be willing to take the risk that other teams may not.

Taylor proved he get things done both on the ground and through the air, as he rushed for over 2,000 yards and had over 250 receiving yards in 2019. He had 24 total touchdowns on the season as well. Brady loves a versatile back, and Taylor would provide that in a better capacity than Ronals Jones III does right now. Tampa Bay’s offense is already off the charts, but Taylor could help them become on of the best in NFL history if all goes right.
