The Buccaneers Have Their Eye On The Postseason With 20th Pick

With Akeem Ayers, Ryan Kerrigan and Adrian Clayborn off the Board, Aldon Smith becomes the target of the Buccaneers.

The Bucs had no pass rush against the Falcons at the end of the season, and they’re not going to go far in the NFC South against the Falcons and Saints if they can’t get to the quarterback. The Bucs saw all their flaws exposed down the stretch, so this is their best opportunity to plug those holes.

With Matt Ryan and Drew Brees in the division, it’s the same problem the Jags and the Texans face. If you have dominant quarterbacks in your division, you have to build a defense that can put pressure on the quarterbacks and take them out of their game.
