19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

David Njoku . 19. player. 48. Ask the honest question. What weapon on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense should opponents fear outside of Mike Evans? The answer is pretty simple. There is none. That’s one of the big reasons the team was so inconsistent last season. Jameis Winston couldn’t put up the kind of production and points often required in order to win games from week to week. The Bucs would be good for a stretch and then fall off. <p>Put simply they need another presence on the field. Somebody who can take heat away from Evans. A playmaking tight end would sure be nice, presenting Winston with another big target. Something he prefers. David Njoku fits that bill. In addition to being a sizable 6’4″, he’s also quite the athlete. There is no tight end in this class better at making things happen after the catch. Add in some sneaky good blocking ability? This is a solid pickup.</p>. TE. Miami Fl.
