Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht believes that that 2014 NFL Draft class is the best he has ever seen.

Licht will be entering the selection process for the first time as a GM after replacing Mark Dominik, who was fired at the end of last season.

The 43-year-old has admitted that he has been blown away by the quality of the class of players, and he believes that it is the best class he has seen since his arrival in the league 19 years ago.

Licht told reporters: "The whole draft is really strong. Best draft I've seen. It's probably tilted a little more toward offense, but it's a strong draft."

The Buccaneers hold the seventh overall pick in the 2014 Draft.
