NFL Mock Draft 2018: Complete first round after Week 4
Arden Key. 8. player. 48. . Defensive End. LSU
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could use some help on the defensive line. LSU’s Arden Key is a top-five type prospect that could fall out if quarterbacks start being taken earlier than expected. Nearly every team in the top 10 also has a use for Key.
At 6-foot-6, 265 pounds, Key has the size needed to immediately succeed at the NFL level. Yet, he has missed three games this year and the LSU pass-rush is suffering because of it. Key could come in and take over for William Gholston on the left side of the line.
The Bucs did take a chance on Noah Spence already at defensive end. They do have some options available at defensive end. However, they do not have a game-changer like Key to plug and play to give the defense a boost.
