The San Francisco 49ers drafted DE Nick Bosa with the 2nd pick followed by the New York Jets selecting OT Jawaan Taylor 3rd overall.

Beau Benzschawel is known as road grader. Exceptional strength and leverage at the point of attack. Could push for starting reps at RG but at the very least adds great depth with his flexibility to play all the interior line positions.
This mock draft features two potential starters and a solid backup. With the current state of the Buccaneers depth chart these players will provide an instant impact.
