The Tampa Bay Buccaneers closed out Day 2 by drafting linebacker Kendall Beckwith of the LSU Tigers. Beckwith led the Tigers in tackles (91) along with six tackles for loss, but his health going into the NFL is questionable at best.

Beckwith is coming off an ACL tear late in the 2016 season and may not even be available until the 2018 season.

Truth be told, the Buccaneers were bound to make a risky pick eventually. They got quarterback Jameis Winston a lot of weapons in this year’s NFL Draft. Alabama Crimson Tide tight end O.J. Howard fell in their lap as did Penn State Nittany Lions wide receiver Chris Godwin.

However, Beckwith doesn’t really fill a huge need for Tampa Bay. He has the chance to develop on the Buccaneers defense but they still need some more secondary. Also running back Doug Martin is set to miss the first three games of 2017 for testing positive for Adderall.
