2017 NFL Mock Draft: Week 16 Update
By Jon Dove
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
1st Round, No. 20 overall- Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan
2nd Round, No. 52 overall- Adoree’ Jackson, CB, USC
3rd Round, No. 84 overall- Bubba Baker, S, Washington
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the size part of their receiving corps covered with Mike Evans, but they could use more speed. Adding someone capable of putting pressure on the safety and stretching the field would open things up for Evans.
Western Michigan’s Corey Davis is a twitched up athlete who can routinely outpace the defense. He has had an amazing college career and should be able to make a quick transition to the NFL. Davis is not just a deep threat as he also runs clean routes.

The combination of Davis and Evans would give Jameis Winston more than enough weapons.
Tampa Bay’s defense has had a huge turnaround this season, but they still have some holes to fill. The secondary needs help and a high upside cornerback like Adoree’ Jackson would be a good fit. Jackson is an exceptional athlete who is just now starting to learn the ins and outs of the position.
He brings added value with his ability as a kick and punt returner.
Bubba Baker is someone who could also step in and make an immediate impact. He’d help bring some stability to the safety position.
