2021 NFL Draft: Justin Fields tops Trevor Lawrence in QB-rich mock draft
27. Aidan Hutchinson, DL, Michigan
Although not a traditional “EDGE” player, Hutchinson is a versatile player who could really help a defensive front like Tampa Bay’s.
The Bucs have Ndamukong Suh back for this season along with 2018 first-round pick Vita Vea, and while William Gholston has been serviceable, upgrades could be explored.
Hutchinson is a rising prospect already heading into the 2020 college season after a sophomore campaign where he racked up 69 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, six passes batted down, and three forced fumbles.
The low sack numbers shouldn’t scare anyone off — this guy is a high-impact player on the defensive line, and at 6-foot-6, nearly 280 pounds, he’s a big, long lineman who can move all over the front and make an impact.
