Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Grade: A-
Best Pick: CB Jacob Parrish, No. 84 Overall
What We Liked: The Buccaneers are really ready to fix what didn’t work for them last year, investing heavily in a barren cornerback room and new edge rotational players. Cornerback Benjamin Morrison (No. 53) and Parrish could be a scary duo on the outside and slot, respectively. Emeka Egbuka (No. 19) brings a young face to an aging wide receiver room and could easily become the next Chris Godwin.
Not Sure About: Edge David Walker (No. 121) does not have extensive FBS experience and did not shine at the all-star games, so it feels like a major projection to picture him sticking around as a continuous edge rusher. Could an earlier edge pick and a later wideout selection have set the 49ers up more for immediate success? It’s something to think about for sure. They need only so much from Egbuka considering the capital they spent.
