NFL Mock Draft: Week 16

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been one of the hottest teams in football as of late, as 2015 No.1 overall pick Jameis Winston has become a leader of the young group. Despite a tough loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, this organization is definitely trending upward, and they should be a contender in the NFC for years to come. While they have some nice pieces on the offensive side of the ball, they need help in the defensive secondary, specifically at the safety position.

While a lot of the talk in this draft has been around guys like Jabrill Peppers and Jamal Adams when it comes to the safety position, there is one guy who plays in the Pac-12 that should get some consideration. Marcus Williams of Utah is an incredible player at the position, and was recently named first-team All Pac-12. He has the speed and size to play at the next level, and his ability to come up and make hits is what sets him apart from the competition.

Utah had one of the better defenses in college football for most of the season, as Williams and nose guard Lowell Lotulelei really led the way. The Pac-12 was a pretty tough conference this season, and Williams had to face some tough quarterbacks each week. He is going to be a good pro, and while most do not grade him in the first round, I feel he would be a great pick for the Bucs this late in round one.
