East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel.
Look, Joe is good with any defensive position the Bucs want to draft at in the first round. Joe could make an argument for any position.
Defensive tackle, edge rusher/outside linebacker, inside linebacker, corner, safety. You pick, and Joe’s fine.
That’s the first round. What about the second round? Former NFL safety and current Chicago-area high school coach Matt Bowen of BSPN has what he believes is the perfect guy for the Bucs.
That would be East Carolina corner Shavon Revel.
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 194
College: East Carolina
Where Tampa Bay could get him: Pick No. 53
With his physical play style, Revel is a strong fit for the Bucs’ zone-heavy scheme under coach Todd Bowles. In 2024, Tampa played zone coverage on 71.7% of opponent dropbacks, the most in the NFL. Revel could use his great backfield vision to identify route concepts and break on the ball. Plus, he has the traits to disrupt and challenge wide receivers when the Bucs switch to more man coverage on third down. Revel missed time with a torn ACL in 2024, but he had two interceptions in three games.
Here again, like with Jihaad Campbell, you have to get heavy input from your medical staff. If the Bucs were to target this Revel in the second round, that obviously suggests the Bucs will o elsewhere in the first round. But where?
Also, Joe doesn’t think the Bucs would actually draft two dudes with medical question marks with their first two picks in the draft.
So maybe the Bucs would draft a defensive tackle at No. 19?
Shavon Revel is one of the most physically gifted CBs in the 2025 NFL Draft. His speed, run support, blitzing, and toughness stand out on tape, but his technique needs refinement. Could his future be at safety? Let’s break it down. 🧵⬇️
