7. Deone Bucannon, safety, Arizona Cardinals

Bucannon is another former first round pick even though he was selected much later with the 27th pick in the 2014 draft. Bucannon has proven a penchant for being around the ball, racking up at least 82 tackles in every season he’s played.

The reason he’s around the ball so often is that he plays a hybrid safety/linebacker position for the Cardinals. Green Bay already has someone like him in Oren Burks, but Bucannon could provide defensive coordinator Mike Petting with some more flexibility.

Bucannon is reportedly on the trade block as the 1-6 Cardinals are likely in full rebuild mode. Don’t be surprised if Arizona begins to sell all of their players, beginning with Bucannon.
