Bucs Target Secondary, Linebacker in Day 2 Draft

0:00On April 24, Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicked off the draft strong, grabbing edge-resher Ruben Bane Jr. 15th overall to beef up that pass rush. Now heading into day 2, they're pivoting to other roster holes with picks at number 46 and number 77. Cornerback jumps out as a glaring need. They haven't locked in a solid replacement for Jamel Dean yet, and depthed outside corners thin heading into next season. Snagging someone who can step in and compete right away would lock down that secondary. Linebacker is right up there too on the priority list. Guys like Alex Anzalone and Servichia didn't hold it down now, but there's no long-term anchor in the middle. They need a volume tackler who covers well and calls plays to solidify the defense. Don't sleep on interior defensive line-depth either, even with their core of front. A rotational piece would keep the pressure consistent, and on offense, wide receiver bears watching after losing Mike Evans were adding some size next to their speed guys gives Baker Mayfield more options.
