7. DB - Mark Barron, Alabama
31. RB - Doug Martin, Boise State
58. LB - Lavonte David, Nebraska
140. LB - Najee Goode, West Virginia
174. DB - Keith Tandy, West Virginia
212. RB - Michael Smith, Utah State
233. TE - Drake Dunsmore, Northwestern

Offense: Doug Martin is going to get every shot to be the workhorse for this team as LeGarrette Blount is not favored by the new regime. He's not as talented as Trent Richardson, but he could be almost as productive and he's a solid RB2 pick in the 4th or 5th this year, not to mention as top 5 pick in dynasty rookie drafts. Michael Smith is a speed back who will probably just be a role player and Drake Dunsmore is a deep sleeper Owen Daniels type.

Defense: Mark Barron and Lavonte David should both be full time players immediately. Both are great fits in the new Bucs' 4-3 front. Barron could quickly jump into the near-elite DB tier behind a suspect tackling linebacking unit. David is arguably already the best linebacker on the roster and should win an every-down job right away. Expect him to be a high floor fantasy option with LB2 upside.
