27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Daxton Hill, CB/S, Michigan
As of Week 13, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are first in the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns. However, they’re on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to defending the pass. Tampa is currently 20th in the league in yards surrendered and 29th in touchdown passes.
While they did well in the postseason last year, this was also an issue in 2020. In an effort to fix this, they take Michigan defensive back Daxton Hill with the 27th pick. Hill is a versatile defender who can play cornerback or safety, allowing him to really improve the Bucs’ secondary.

28. Baltimore Ravens: Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia
Year after year, the Baltimore Ravens trot out a strong defense. They can lose star players even and still find a way to be one of the more formidable units in the game. One reason is their stellar drafting when it comes to that side of the ball.
Here, that trend continues as they take the best defensive tackle in this class, Jordan Davis. Of course, many will say Davis is a nose at 6-6 and 345-pounds, but he’s actually more versatile than that.
His ability to stuff the run and also generate a push up the middle will make him an instant favorite amongst the Baltimore faithful.
