5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Greedy Williams, CB, LSU

After taking a year off from coaching, Bruce Arians got back into the game this season. He had gained traction as a potential head coaching option after saying he would consider returning — but only for the Cleveland Browns job. Then he made it clear more than once he wanted to coach the Browns, but the feeling apparently wasn’t mutual.

Cleveland went in another direction, but so too did Arians. He ended up landing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has a talented offense to work with. The question will be whether or not he gets Jameis Winston to perform at a higher level than he has the past couple of seasons.

In recent mocks, I’ve had the Bucs going for a quarterback and shutting the door on Winston all together. That’s not an easy call given the investment they’ve made in him, but it is a possibility. Still, in this mock we trust Arian’s background working with signal-callers and go in a different direction.

Knowing how bad they were in the secondary in 2018, the Bucs grab Greedy Williams from LSU. He’s a tall corner who can help out a lot in a division that has studs like Julio Jones and Michael Thomas — as well as young up and comers like Calvin Ridley and D.J. Moore.
