27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Devonte Wyatt, IDL, Georgia

As of the time this mock draft is being made, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have not brought back veteran defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh.

Although they have plenty of other areas to address especially with the departure of two starting guards in free agency, a starting safety in free agency, and the tight end position is a question mark right now as well.

Despite the hype Jordan Davis has received, Devonte Wyatt is actually the top interior defensive lineman on some boards this year and understandably so. He’s got outstanding get-off and burst at the snap, and could be an absolute monster at the 3T in Todd Bowles’ defense.

28. Green Bay Packers: Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah

The Packers could “reach” for a receiver here or they could snag themselves a steal in one of the best overall defenders in this year’s class, Devin Lloyd.

Some feel like Lloyd is a top-10 pick, some may have him dropping out of round one completely.

I think teams at the bottom of round one will have an easy time talking themselves into Lloyd, especially a team like the Packers with multiple selections here.

Lloyd would pair up with breakout player De’Vondre Campbell to give the Packers a fearsome, versatile duo at the position for the foreseeable future.
