It is not a secret to anybody who paid close attention to the NFL last year that the secondary of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was awful. One free agency period and NFL draft later, and new head coach Bruce Arians now thinks the secondary is “totally fixed” (via NFL.com).
Last year, the Buccaneers added M.J. Stewart and Carlton Davis to a defensive back room already consisting of safety Justin Evans, cornerback Vernon Hargreaves, and Ryan Smith. Last month, general manager Jason Licht doubled down and added three more defensive backs on day-two of the draft in Sean Murphy-Bunting, Jamel Dean, and Mike Edwards.
