Dan Kadar (SBNation.com): CB Greedy Williams (LSU)

"Yes, the Buccaneers just took cornerbacks in the second round of the 2018 draft. But do they really have a cornerback capable of covering Mike Thomas of the Saints and Julio Jones of the Falcons twice each per season? Williams has the size at 6’3 and the playmaking ability to match up with the NFL’s best."

Kadar is right. Tampa Bay needs to get cornerbacks that can help slow down the elite passing attacks of the NFC South. Drew Brees and Matt Ryan have shredded the Bucs with ease over the past decade.

If Tampa wants to compete for the division crown, they need a secondary that can hold its own. Taking Greedy  Williams would be a smart move.

Caleb Pierson (NFLMocks.com): CB Deandre Baker (Georgia)

Cornerback will be a popular choice in many mocks throughout the offseason. Tampa Bay had one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL last season, and they need a valid number one corner. Lining up Deandre Baker and Carlton Davis on the outside in 2019 could be the beginning to a successful cornerback duo for the next decade.
