Bucs’ Draft Dream: Ohio State Linebacker Sonny Styles

The Buccaneers’ 15th‑overall pick could land them Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, a player ready to step into Lavonte David’s role.

The Bucs’ ideal scenario for the 2026 NFL Draft centers on picking Sonny Styles, the Ohio State linebacker who could immediately fill the gap left by Lavonte David’s retirement. A sideline‑to‑sideline defender, Styles would provide instant depth and help the team retool its defense for the future.
