A breakdown of the 2016 Tampa Bay Buccaneers draft class and its progress after two weeks of training camp.
Vernon Hargreaves, CB, first round: Hargreaves started camp getting reps with the second-team defense at both nickelback and cornerback, with an emphasis on learning the nickel position. Because he played only outside at Florida, it's been an adjustment defending slot receivers. On Aug. 3, he started rotating in with the first team at both positions, but his best shot to get on the field right away is nickel, even if that's not the most natural position for him.
Noah Spence, DE, second round: As a pass rusher, Spence has looked very explosive, and his natural bend around the corner is just jaw-dropping. The Bucs will capitalize on this right away, lining him up on third down at right defensive end with Robert Ayers moving inside. As a run stopper, he needs to be more stout and use his leverage.
Roberto Aguayo, K, second round: If he's kicking from 40 yards out or less, Aguayo's money. Once he's beyond 45 yards, he has some misses. In practice, he sailed wide left on a 59-yard attempt before nailing one from the same distance just moments later.
Ryan Smith, DB, fourth round: The Bucs converted the N.C. Central cornerback to safety and he missed some time during OTAs due to injury, but he's looked promising at a position that isn't particularly deep. Defensive coordinator Mike Smith said, "You see his athleticism flash every day." They also love his speed, which really shows up on special teams. He had a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in college.
Caleb Benenoch, OL, fifth round: Benenoch missed all of OTAs due to NFL rules preventing rookie players from participating in the offseason program until their school's term is complete. At the beginning of August, he suffered a leg injury that's kept him in a cast. The Bucs have lined him up at both tackle and guard.
Devonte Bond, LB, sixth round: Bond's been getting some first-team reps, which has been impressive. Weakside linebacker Lavonte David is most impressed with his work in the classroom. He's capable of lining up at any linebacker position, but strongside is his best fit. Considering Daryl Smith is 34, he's an option for the near future.
Danny Vitale, TE, sixth round: Vitale is getting second-team reps behind Luke Stocker as a hybrid fullback/tight end and he's even gotten some reps with the first team. He's unique in that he's not only a run-blocker but he's got great hands. He's a powerful guy, but he's looked very smooth and polished as a pass-catcher.
