Alabama Crimson Tide

DL Quinnen Williams

A critical piece for the Crimson Tide, Quinnen Williams will be a top-five pick in the 2019 Draft.  He had eight sacks, 18 tackles for loss and 67 total tackles in a tremendous sophomore season.

If Tampa Bay wants to continue to add talent to their front seven, Williams would be a fantastic choice with the fifth overall pick, if he remains on the board. Keep a close on him as he tries to impose his will on the Clemson offensive line.

OT Jonah Williams

As good as Quinnen Williams is on the defensive line, Jonah Williams can match him on the offensive side.

The blindside protector for Tua Tagovailoa, Willams has been a monster. Shutting down some of the best edge rushers in the country for the past two seasons. Another player who will likely get picked in the top ten, Williams could be a long-term answer at tackle for Tampa Bay.

S Deionte Thompson

Deionte Thompson is another first-round talent for the Crimson Tide. He is a versatile safety who can play all over the field. He filled up the stat sheet in 2018. Thompson picked off two passes, made 75 total tackles and forced three fumbles.

Thompson could fit right into a young Tampa Bay secondary. Look for him to make a huge play on Monday night.

RB Damien Harris

The Bucs continued to struggle on the ground last season, and they could target a running back in April. Damien Harris has put up enormous numbers in his four years at Alabama. He rushed for 3013 yards, 23 touchdowns for a 6.5 yards per carry average.

Tampa may have whiffed on Ronald Jones last season; they could take another swing with Harris.
