Day two of the 2019 NFL Draft was all about the secondary for the Buccaneers. After selecting Sean Bunting in the second round and Jamel Dean with their first pick in the third, the Bucs went to the defensive back pool once again at No. 99 overall. With its second third-round selection, Tampa Bay took Kentucky safety Mike Edwards.
Edwards, a 5-foot-10, 205-pound playmaker, is a third sign in one day that the new Bucs coaching staff wasn’t all that impressed with the team’s existing secondary. Of course, that existing secondary has been one of the worst in the league for the last couple of years, so it’s not all that surprising to see the new coaching regime make some changes.
