Buccaneers Draft Profile: Derek Barnett Defensive End, Tennessee

The 2017 NFL Draft is less than one week away and there is plenty of talent to be had. While the Buccaneers are on the rise, they still have holes on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. While many people are anticipating the Bucs to continue to give Winston all the weapons he needs, the defense is far from perfect.

They are now all another year older with their leader Gerald McCoy, 29, soon to be entering the twilight of his career they need depth. Noah Spence has elite pass rush potential but is not a very good run stopper.
