The 2026 NFL Draft will take place in Pittsburgh next April, a city where the Bucs found success this preseason with a last-second field goal to defeat the Steelers. Before next April, though, there will be plenty of speculation and buildup for the team and who they may add to the roster through the draft.
CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson recently released the latest 2026 NFL mock draft of the cycle. Within it, the Bucs were attached to South Carolina cornerback Brandon Cisse. The athletic cornerback from South Carolina has risen up draft boards quickly this season despite the totality of the Gamecock defense underperforming.

Wilson explains the pick, writing, “Cisse is a versatile corner who can consistently lock down receivers in press-man coverage and showcases elite athleticism, with explosive downhill speed and next-level change-of-direction ability. Whether he’s driving on quick routes from off coverage or playing in press, he’s consistently in position for pass breakup opportunities. He’s also one of the best run-defending CBs in this entire class.”
The Bucs adding one more dynamic cornerback to their young duo of Jacob Parrish and Benjamin Morrison would set the unit up for years to come.
