The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have addressed some major needs in free agency, but there are some things that will need to wait until the NFL Draft.
Pro Football Focus writer John Kosko conducted a recent mock draft where the Bucs are selecting Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell.
Campbell to the Bucs?
“Lavonte David is 35 years old, and the Buccaneers have yet to solidify the linebacker position next to him since Devin White’s departure a year ago. Campbell has the size and is an elite athlete for the position. He needs to develop his read-and-react ability, but there is no better team to go to for that with the veteran David back in the fold,” Kosko writes.
Campbell won’t have to play too much in his rookie season if he were to join the Bucs, but he can be mentored by David to eventually take over when he decides to move on from Tampa Bay in a year or two.
