5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Out goes Kwon Alexander, in comes Devin White. That's the plan as far as folks across the NFL know it.
Alexander, who was coming off a torn ACL and entered free agency, signed a huge deal with the San Francisco 49ers that the Buccaneers were never going to match. Better to get younger, healthier and cheaper through the NFL draft. And they will based on current intel from a number of NFL scouts and decision-makers.
Devin White is the type of prospect who is desperately needed in Tampa Bay.

The Bucs might get connected to a quarterback or pass-rusher in the next three weeks, but everyone agrees that if Quinnen Williams is off the board, general manager Jason Licht will go with a can't-miss prospect in White. The risky pick of Vita Vea last year didn't produce immediate dividends in Year 1.
My two cents: i like white a lot, but not at 5. DL generally just has a bigger impact on the game unless you have a Derrick brooks ray lewis or brian urlacher. There will likely be an elite DL available whether its q Williams allen bosa or Oliver. I almost prefer devin bush over white but white has the slight edge imo.
If they trade down a few slots id be more ok with white.
Thoughts?
