Buccaneers Eye Elite Cornerback Terion Arnold in 2024 NFL Draft: Building on 2023 Seasons

The 2024 NFL Draft is just a week away, and teams are finalizing their preparations to build on their 2023 seasons. The Buccaneers, who made the playoffs last year, will be making their pick in the latter third with the 26th overall pick.

As the first round kicks off from Detroit, Michigan, the Bucs are considering selecting a premier player along the offensive line, a pass rusher or help solidify their defensive backs. In a recent mock draft by CBS Sports’ Will Brinson, elite cornerback Terion Arnold from the University of Alabama is projected to be the team’s choice.

Arnold, a Tallahassee, Florida native had an impressive college career earning honors like FWAA Freshman All-American and Freshman All-SEC in his early years at Tuscaloosa. In his redshirt sophomore season, he earned 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. Therefore, selecting Arnold would be valuable addition for them.
