It’s a misconception that the Buccaneers don’t use TEs as often as the rest of the league. CarmieV on why the Bucs are fully stocked at TE now—even if Rob Gronkowski doesn't return—after the 2022 NFL Draft. FrontOffice33 | GoBucs
That’s some significant capital. Especially when you consider the kinds of players Buccaneers General Manager Jason Licht has been able to uncover on day three in the past.
The other thing we need to understand is that in the absence of a true blocking tight end, the Buccaneers utilized offensive linemen like tight ends. Tampa Bay utilized 12 personnel on the fifth-most snaps in the league. It means they added in an extra lineman to act as a blocker and further extension of the offensive line – it just so happened to be an actual offensive lineman.
That slots Otton in as a true ‘Y’, something Van Dam says is hard to find these days coming out of college, with most amateur systems utilizing tight ends as more big-bodied receivers. And should the Buccaneers for some reason not get Gronkowski back, the team is comfortable with Otton starting as soon as this season but the thought process in taking him with their first fourth-round pick is that he’s part of the future. He’s a player they can develop in an aging tight end room.
“He’s an aggressive, tenacious blocker,” said Van Dam. “He comes off the ball and he’s powerful and tries to block through you. He’s an old school tight end, if you want to call it that.”
