Offensive tackle was a need that the Buccanneers needed to address in the 2012 draft but did not. Donal Penn is solid but may be better suited at right tackle so adding a left tackle is a need in Tampa. Fluker plays right tackle at Alabama but has the ability to eventually transition to the left side. He is a huge man at 6'6, 335 pounds but he also possesses rare movement skills and has been a protector for A.J. McCarron at Alabama. With Josh Freeman and Doug Martin set up in Tampa, it would be a good idea to add Fluker as a blocker to open up holes and protect the quarterback. Tampa could also look at adding a cornerback with this pick, but there isn't a top prospect available after Amerson who would be worthy of a top ten selection.
