After selecting Devin White with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft on Thursday night, the Buccaneers continued to address the defensive side of the ball early on Friday night.
With the No. 39 overall pick in the draft, Tampa Bay selected cornerback Sean Bunting out of Central Michigan. The 6-foot, 195-pound Bunting is a strong fit for new defensive coordinator Todd Bowles. His size, ball skills and ability in press man coverage should translate well to Bowles’ system.
The Bucs went with Bunting over some more well-known prospects, such as fellow cornerback Greedy Williams and guard Dalton Risner.
