Not exact matches
I'd like to get someone, and there's good value in this

The Buccaneers also
spent relatively
high draft picks on Craig Erickson (No 86 overall, 1992), Shaun King (No. 50 overall, 1999) and Chris Simms (No. 97 overall, 2003), but none of the three ever started more than 29 games in Tampa.
If a team

draft pick on you, you're more likely to get more opportunities to figure things out.
