As the 2024 NFL Draft approaches, teams are gearing up to make their selections and build on their 2023 seasons. The first round of the draft begins in Detroit, Michigan on Thursday night. The Buccaneers, who made the playoffs last year, will be selecting 26th overall.
The team is considering a number of options with their pick, including a premier player along the offensive line, a pass rusher or help solidify their defensive backs. With a strong defensive backfield being a priority for the team, elite cornerback Terion Arnold from the University of Alabama is projected to be selected by CBS Sports’ Will Brinson in a recent first-round mock draft.
Arnold had an impressive college career at Tuscaloosa and earned recognition as FWAA Freshman All-American and Freshman All-SEC early on. He continued to excel in his redshirt sophomore season, earning recognition as a first-team Associated Press All-American and All-SEC first-team member.
With the Bucs trading away Carlton Davis III and adding players like Zyon McCollum and Tavierre Thomas, they are still in need of bolstering their defensive backfield. Arnold would be a valuable addition to the team and provide much needed depth in that area.
