The Bucs' biggest 2016 NFL draft needs

Over at Sports Illustrated, Chris Burke listed the 2016 NFL draft needs for every team. For the Tampa Bay Buccaneers: defensive end -- with cornerback, safety and wide receiver listed behind that.

It's tough to win in the NFL without a consistent pass rush, and outside of Gerald McCoy and newcomer Robert Ayers (who notched a career high in sacks just in time to his free agency) the Buccaneers haven't been able to bring much heat. The cornerbacks could be solid if Brent Grimes makes a smooth transition onto the team and at least one of Alterraun Verner or Johnthan Banks bounces back.
