48. The Buccaneers defense improved over the course of the season but they could use more pass rushing. However, they signed Robert Ayers in free agency so the Bucs should be OK at defensive end for the time being.  Cornerback is an even bigger need now for the Buccaneers and Vernon Hargreaves III is arguably the top cornerback in the draft.  He could step in and help the Buccaneers pass defense.  <b> </b>. Cornerback. Florida. Vernon Hargreaves III. 9. player

Ezekiel Elliot. 10. player. 31. The Giants haven’t had a 1,000 yard rusher since the 2012 season and even then it was just 1,015.  They could use an legitimate threat on the ground to take some pressure off of Eli Manning and the Giants passing game.  Ezekiel Elliot has the complete package at running back and could add an explosive element to the Giants offense.  <b> </b>. Running Back. Ohio State
