It is never too early to begin watching prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft. General manager Jason Licht has made the draft the key cog in the machine for the Bucs in terms of roster building and transforming the team itself. 

We are going to be covering every position in the draft, but not all of them will be the Bucs’ needs necessarily. But of course, anything is possible for a team, and if not, they will be drafted by a division rival that the Bucs see twice a year. 

For this report, we will be discussing a cornerback. The Bucs invested in this position heavily in 2025, specifically in the draft, but roster decisions have this group up for grabs. The 2026 NFL Draft cornerback group is loaded, so they make sense to be targeted once again in some fashion.

With that in mind, here is our report on Arizona’s Treydan Stukes.

Hezekiah Masses is a fun cornerback prospect due to his size and playstyle with receivers. He does well in both man and zone coverage assignments, and that versatility is going to make him appealing to NFL teams during the draft process. I am not sure that Masses will test well, but his speed and movement skills should be enough on film to have teams want to buy in on the traits he flashes on film. The Senior Bowl will be massive for his evaluation and could boost him to the top of day three or the end of day two.
