Buccaneers NFL Draft Target: Cornerback, Robert Rochell (Central Arkansas)

The Buccaneers saw substantial growth from their young cornerback room as 2020 went on, and that collective improvement played a pivotal role throughout the playoffs as players like Carlton Davis and Sean Murphy-Bunting routinely flashed.

Tampa will retain those young players for another year, and it received a strong boon to the depth when veteran Ross Cockrell re-signed. Cockrell started two games as an injury fill-in and contributed meaningful snaps on special teams through 12 regular season games and the playoffs.

While it is set for 2021, the secondary could see significant changes in following years with upcoming contracts, and it never hurts to invest in high-upside projects.
