Buccaneers traded up with the Raiders to select Illinois WR Arrelious Benn with the No. 39 overall pick in the draft.
“Regis,” as he’s known in Champaign, likely would’ve been on the first-round radar most years. Though his production was down due to horrendous QB play in the Big Ten’s worst offense, Benn is a physical wideout with an NFL-ready game coming from a pro-style system. He immediately becomes a “No. 1" target option for Josh Freeman in the Bucs’ receiver-needy offense. It’s high time the Tampa admitted its Michael Clayton mistake and released the veteran.
