2021 NFL Draft: Two-round mock draft with latest prospect predictions
28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Christian Barmore, DL, Alabama
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers spent a lot of money in the 2020 offseason and perhaps no team in the NFL will look as drastically different in 2020 compared to 2019.
The Bucs obviously brought in Tom Brady and let go of former top overall pick Jameis Winston. They made a trade for Rob Gronkowski and added some big pieces through the 2020 NFL Draft in Tristan Wirfs and Antoine Winfield Jr.
This Bucs team is ready to do some damage in 2020 and Pro Football Focus is acknowledging the drastic roster changes by pegging them as a top-five roster in the entire league right now.
That might be a bit over the top, but time will tell.
If the Bucs are picking this low and they have a shot at a player like Christian Barmore, he could be a nice fit in their current defensive line group.
He’s only got one year of experience with the Tide, but Barmore is built NFL ready at 6-foot-5, 310 pounds, and he showed some playmaking skills last season with 26 total tackles, six tackles for loss, and a pair of sacks.
The Bucs have such a talented defensive front and getting a player like Barmore with positional versatility up front could give the edge players an even easier job on Sundays.
