N.C. State DE Bradley Chubb, an answer to Bucs’ sack woes?

Position: Defensive end

College: North Carolina State

Height/weight: 6-4, 269

Draft projection: Round 1

Why he would make sense for the Bucs: The Bucs had an NFL-worst 22 sacks last season and no player has recorded 10 sacks in one season in Tampa Bay since Simeon Rice in 2005. Chubb is the best edge rusher in the draft. Even though the Bucs traded for DE Vinny Curry and Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul, they need to develop an elite rusher. Paul is 29 and DE Noah Spence is coming off his second shoulder surgery in as many years.
