Bucs Add Defensive Power with Capeheart

0:00On April 25th, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just beefed up their defensive line by drafting Clemson's Demonte Cape Heart with the 155th pick in the 5th round. This big man stands 6 with 5 and weighs 313 pounds, making him a monster on the interior. He's the 4th defensive player they've grabbed so far, building out that front after already adding some key pieces this draft. Clemson Cape Heart wrapped his senior year with 21 tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, and two pass breakups. His length and quick first step let him dominate one on one battles, using that massive frame to push the pocket. The Buccaneers see him rotating behind starters, Kalizia Canzi, and Videvaea, alongside new addition, Ashawn Robinson. That said, he's not perfect, sometimes leans too much on raw power instead of finesse, and his hand usage needs polishing. At 24 years old when the season started, he's a bit older for a prospect, plus there were off field issues last year, including an arrest for, unlawful firearm possession

Meanwhile, Ed Drusher Rubenbane from Miami joins the mix from their 15th overall pick, rounding out a revamped front 7. With two picks left at 195 in the 6th, and 209 in the 7th, the Bucks are clearly locked in on depth, and, grid to push for another strong run.
