4. EDGE Julian Okwara (Notre Dame)

If the Buccaneers go with an offensive tackle in the first-round as we expect they will, a solid defensive line prospect would be edge-rusher Julian Okwara.

Okwara has great explosive ability and would be a great complement to Shaquil Barrett in that 3-4 defense.

Okwara has great ability to set a hard-edge and rush the passer, which is what is needed in the Bucs’ scheme and he’d be a solid get for the team, especially if Jason Pierre-Paul outprices what Tampa Bay is able to offer in free agency.
