The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hold the No. 5 overall pick in this April’s NFL Draft, and they have a lot of work to do on both sides of the ball. This off-season, they have gone out and got themselves a new head coach, pulling Bruce Arians out of retirement after only a one year staying away from the sidelines.

In Arians, the Buccaneers have a head coach who has proven he can be a consistent winner in the NFL, and that is something this franchise has lacked for a very long time. Of course, Arians is going to have to try to find a way to turn around the career of Jameis Winston, who has shown he can be a winner on the field, but has been inconsistent in his life off of it.

With their first round pick this April, the Buccaneers have to do something to shore up their secondary, and they may want to pick the best cornerback available. When it comes to this draft class, Greedy Williams from LSU is the best cornerback available, and would be a perfect fit on this Buccaneers defense.

Tampa Bay needs help on all three levels of their defense, but if you’re going to be successful in the NFC South, you have to be excellent against the pass. Tampa Bay takes on quarterbacks like Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, and Cam Newton two times a season, so adding a stud cornerback in Williams at No. 5 makes a lot of sense in round one.
