Bucs Predicted to Double Down on Defense in 2027 Draft

0:00It's April 28th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered NFL coverage. The 2027 NFL Draft heads to Washington, D.C. next year, and early buzz has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sticking with their first round. Pick to grab Oklahoma defensive lineman David Stone. Athlon Sports' Luke Easterling dropped his way too early mocked draft, projecting the Bucks doubling down on defense after their recent moves. Seeing C-stone as a beast against the run, with upside as a pass rusher, perfect for keeping Tampa's front loaded. The team just reloaded that line this off-season, so stacking talent here makes sense in his view. Fans and analysts are hyped about the Bucks' history with Oklahoma picks, like when they snag Gerald McCoy years back, turning him into a star. It sparks talk of building a dominant D-line that could dominate for years. That said, things could shift big time before Draft A next April, especially if young guy collides a can see stays healthy and balls out. Plenty of variables in the next 12 months to shake up the board.
