5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Leonard Moore, CB, Notre Dame

Leonard Moore is, unquestionably, the best cornerback prospect in this year's class. The one area of his game that still seems to be a work in progress is his physicality related to run defense and tackling. That does seem to be something that can be worked on, but it's also not nearly as important as Moore being a shutdown player and possessing elite ball skills.

Frankly, he seems to have a future in the NFL as one of the true shutdown corners in the sport. He has the size and length to matchup with the biggest "X" receivers at the next level, and his ball skills are also evident.

A lot of what Moore excels at can't be taught, and it'd be hard for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to pass on him, especially if they make a coaching change. The team does have enough talent on offense for that unit to get figured out, but the defense is really where the front office should look to target in April.

6. Los Angeles Chargers (via NYJ) - Cam Coleman, WR, Texas

The Los Angeles Chargers are likely not moving on from QB Justin Herbert, in my opinion. Yes, he's been flat-out bad this year, but he does have more raw talent than most other QBs in the NFL. While there are some valid concerns about his ceiling in terms of getting to the playoffs and making a deep run, he is every bit of a franchise QB.

And while the Chargers aren't able to land the generational Smith from OSU, they're still able to get some legitimate talent in the wide receiver room by snagging Cam Coleman from Texas. The Chargers need more playmaking talent across the board and could realistically address the offensive line in free agency.
