The Buccaneers wanted Roberto Aguayo because he’s a “weapon.” Bucs GM Jason Licht talked about the decision to trade UP in the second round to draft the Florida State kicker, and it kind of makes some sense.

So, that’s why they traded up in the second round to get FSU’s Robert Aguayo.
Licht compared Noah Spence to Tyrann Mathieu. Both players got kicked off their college teams for drug issues. Mathieu has worked hard to put his past behind him and become a star. Spence has the talent to be special, as well.
