Tampa Bay Buccaneers: One EDGE for each day of the draft
By Cory Kinnan
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter the 2019 in desperate need of some added help getting to the quarterback; here are three EDGE targets in the draft.
With one more day until the 2019 NFL Draft, draft boards, team needs, and priorities are being finalized as the mayhem is set to begin on Thursday night. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have team needs throughout their defense, but one are in particular which needs addressed is their pass rush.
Only one player in 2018 had double-digit sacks in Jason Pierre-Paul, and while the Buccaneers signed Shaquil Barrett to a one-year deal during free agency, another edge rusher will be selected during the draft. While Carl Nassib was a nice pick up off of the waivers a year ago after he was cut by the Cleveland Browns, 2016 second rounder Noah Spence may be on his last leg in Tampa Bay, giving the Buccaneers virtually no depth behind Barrett off the edge.
Great news Tampa Bay fans, this year’s edge rusher class is the deepest it has been in years, with high upside talent available in every round of the draft. Do not be surprised if the Buccaneers leave the draft with more than one additional pass rusher to add to their roster. Here are three edge rushers, one for each day of the draft, Tampa Bay could pursue when they get on the clock and are set to make their selection.
