The Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked Vernon Hargreaves III in the first round of the 2016 NFL draft. The Florida cornerback didn't quite fill a need: the Bucs could definitely use a cornerback, but they'd signed Brent Grimes earlier this offseason, and are hopeful that Johnthan Banks and Alterraun Verner return to form under a new head coach.
So while Hargreaves is a useful and good pick, he still leaves the Bucs with several key needs unaddressed, most notably pass rusher. The good news there is that the Bucs will have their pick of pass rushers at the top of the second round: Noah Spence, Kevin Dodd and Emmanuel Ogbah all fell out of the first round and would fit the Bucs' needs -- especially Spence.
But the Bucs could look elsewhere as well. They could use an upgrade at safety, where Chris Conte and Bradley McDougald are little more than adequate starters. Ohio State's Vonn Bell is the top available player there. The team could also use an extra wide receiver, especially one who's capable of being a punt returner, and some depth at defensive tackle wouldn't be out of place either.
Buccaneers top remaining needs
Defensive end: The Bucs haven't had a quality edge rusher since Simeon Rice, and desperately need to change that. Most likely target: Noah Spence, Eastern Kentucky.
Safety: Chris Conte and Bradley McDougald are little more than adequate. Adding a playmaker would do wonders for the team's defense. Most likely target: Vonn Bell, Ohio State.
Wide receiver: Not a need per se, but with Vincent Jackson in the final year of his contract and Louis Murphy recovering from an ACL injury, they could use a playmaker. Bonus points if he's also a punt returner. Most likely target: Sterling Shepard, Oklahoma.
Offensive tackle: Gosder Cherilus and Demar Dotson have one year left on their contracts, so a long-term replacement would help. Most likely target: Jason Spriggs, Indiana.
Defensive tackle: Again not a true need, but the team could use some depth with Akeem Spence entering the final year of his contract and Clinton McDonald's and Gerald McCoy's recent injury struggles. Most likely target: Chris Jones, Mississippi State.
