A new rumor opens the door for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to make a bold move up in Round 2 of the NFL Draft and get an intriguing prospect to replace franchise legend Mike Evans . At the NFL Combine, Miami star Rueben Bain Jr. became a divisive figure after it was revealed his arms were shorter than the norm for productive EDGE rushers in the NFL.

Nevertheless, he was still seen as a player who should go in the top 10 after playing a pivotal role in the Hurricanes’ reaching the National Championship game in January. However, 14 teams, including the Miami Dolphins , passed on the talented EDGE rusher. But Tampa did not, and may have landed a better player than they expected with their selection at 15 overall.

But it is hard to be that lucky twice, and the team still needs to find a player to fill the big void left by six-time Pro Bowler Mike Evans. Could the Tampa Bay Buccaneers move up to draft Denzel Boston on Friday night?

Washington receiver Denzel Boston is among the best players still available .
