Tampa Bay Buccaneer general manager Jason Licht has a specter looming over his head this off-season: the cornerback position. Brent Grimes and Vernon Hargreaves are both locked in as starters this season, but the future beyond this coming season is very much a question mark, due to the age of Grimes and the uncertain abilities of Hargreaves.
Despite the corner position not being as urgently dire as, say, guard or running back, it’s still something that Jason Licht needs to clean up in this months’ draft. I expect UCF’s Mike Hughes to be one player that Licht hones in on, thanks to his versatility and untapped potential, among other reasons.
