Round 6, Pick 4: Anthony Bryant

Anthony Bryant
DT | (6'3", 337, 5.12) | ALABAMA
Scouts Grade: 51
Flags: (B: BULK/SIZE) Lacks size/bulk for position
I'm not sure why ESPN flagged him as lacking size, because this guy looks like a beast at 6'3"/340. I like this pick because we certainly need help/depth at DT and we especially need bulk up the middle. Scouts call him a huge run-plugger who has good leverage and is tough to move off the line.

Unfortunately he doesn't look like a hard worker and he isn't much of an athlete. So we won't see him chasing down RBs or QBs any time soon. This also continues the pattern of drafting defenders who don't look like they quite fit into the "Buc defender" mold of speed and athleticism over bulk and strength.

Hopefully he'll make the team and break into the DL rotation as a run stopper in early downs, but I could also see him gone by fall.
