Two of this year’s top safety prospects are West Virginia’s Karl Joseph and Boise State’s Darian Thompson and could very well be targeted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both carry resumes strong enough to get them drafted on Day 2.
Safety will be a target for the Buccaneers this year as early as their first pick if Jalen Ramsey miraculously falls that far. However it’s more likely Jason Licht and company will find what they’re looking for in the draft’s mid-rounds.
Why Karl Joseph and Darian Thompson? Interceptions. The Buccaneers collected just 11 last season and 14 the year before.
