There is an obvious Buccaneers position of need I would like to address but I’m gonna go with another position of need. Cornerback.

Hargreaves looks to have regressed and may be better served in the nickel as he has been constantly beat and looks to be scared of contact.

My move would be to trade for Bradley Roby of the Denver Broncos. Roby is a lesser known corner from Denver, but as a third corner he has been very good in my opinion.

I think he is good enough to play on the outside and I’d think he would be an immediate upgrade over Hargreaves for the time being.

Also gives the Bucs a Grimes replacement. Since Roby is the third cornerback he may not come at as big of a price tag.

However, since he is a talented player he won’t come cheap. I feel like a 2018 4th and a 2019 5th as well as an additional 6th or 7th down the line may be enough to do it.

The Bucs should not give up any higher than a 3rd-round pick though. Roby would be a great addition to this secondary. I know it is very unlikely but he would help out in a big way.
