Tampa Bay Buccaneers: weekly 7-round mock draft after Combine

Cory: Chase Winovich, EDGE, Michigan

Make no mistake, the Bucs need another pass rusher to compliment Jason Pierre-Paul, and in the third round, Chase Winovich is a great value pick to add to the defensive front. Finishing his career with 18.5 sacks and 43 tackles for loss, Winovich displayed a potential to camp out in opponent’s backfields and wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks. With the cut of Vinny Curry and the uncertain future of McCoy, Tampa Bay will need to add as much depth as possible to keep a fresh and healthy defensive front.

Dylan: Taylor Rapp, S, Washington

While some draft experts seem to be higher on Rapp than the rest of the community he does lack play making ability like you want out of franchise safeties. Rapp makes his money as a sure fire tackler not only in space but in the box as well. Rapp loves to lay a big hit when he can and prides himself on being the last line of defense that doesn’t break often. Rapp needs to improve his flexibility and short area quickness at the next level to be an every down player but the potential is there.

Jason: Lonnie Johnson Jr., CB, Kentucky

Kentucky’s defense was great last year and the best corner on the Wildcat defense was Lonnie Johnson. He fits in the Buccaneers’ press-man defensive scheme and has the height needed to go up against the elite wide receivers in the NFC South such as Michael Thomas and Julio Jones. While drafting Carlton Davis just a year ago, Grimes is on his way out and Hargreaves has not lived up to his first round potential, creating another need in the secondary.

Jamil: Dru Samia, OG, Oklahoma

In front of Kyler Murray was arguably the best offensive lines in all of college football. Samia started his career as a Sooner at right tackle and transitioned to guard halfway through his college career. The Bucs desperately need to replace current right guard Caleb Benenoch, and Samia could be an instant upgrade.
