“Jahdae Barron is better than will Johnson,” Ash began. “He’s more versatile, he’s a bigger hitter, he’s a more prolific ballhawk. And he doesn’t have the same kind of injury concerns.
“After Travis Hunter, Barron should be the first corner taken.
I like him, but he really seems best suited as slot corner - and we just drafted, and were pretty happy with, Tykee… I guess you could drift Tykee Smith as a strong safety, you could make that pick.“Jahdae Barron is better than will Johnson,” Ash began. “He’s more versatile, he’s a bigger hitter, he’s a more prolific ballhawk.

Just don’t know if he’s a good fit for this scheme?
The Bucs need to draft a legit boundary CB and stop playing around with nickel and dime CBs. Last off season the team brought in only one boundary CB in Hall and when Hall went down the team dragged their feet finding another boundary CB. And they also cut their lone boundary CB that looked competent (Keenan Isaac) knowing that Dean has an injury history.
Hopefully the team doesn't make that mistake again so Hall and Vidal are insurance and stick on the roster. But you need to draft a boundary CB to team with McCollum and Dean. If Funderburk becomes your 6th compared to your 3rd/4th option that is massive progress. Hayes can kick back to safety to backup Izien or Merriweather.
