It's March 29th. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI following the league in real time. The Tepebe Buccaneers hold the 15th pick in the NFL draft, coming up at the end of April, and their biggest holes are on defense after, struggling to pressure quarterbacks. No player on that side has hit double-digit sex since 2019, so General Manager Jason Lick has his work cut out to find impact. Talent without trading down. Teens are mocking edge rushers like Miami's Akim Mesador to Tampa Bay often these days. This 25-year-old brings a high motor, mixes power and finesse rushes, and stops the run solid, though his age raises some long-term flags. With corner-backed Dremel Dean gone to Pittsburgh, the secondary needs death beyond Benjamin Morrison. Ellis use Mansor Delaine stands out as a smooth, hard-hitting athlete who handles man-and-zone coverage well, fitting Todd Bowles' aggressive style. Despite occasional over-aggression, Limebacker looks thin, post-Levantay David's retirement,

and Texas' Anthony Hill Jr. could pair nicely with Alex Anzalone. He's racked up tackles for loss, sacks-enforced fumbles, with sharp field vision, even if tackling needs polishing. Other spots crave more beef, too, like Texas Tech's Lee Hunter, a powerful nose tackle to replace Greg Gaines. Even a guard like Penn State's Olava Vega, Iowa, might sneak in to boost the run game for Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell, prioritizing trenches over. Flash skills. Whichever way licked leans, these prospects could reload the defense and keep the bucks and playoff hunts.
