Report: Linebacker Khalil Mack visits Buccaneers

Top defensive prospect Khalil Mack is in Tampa to meet with the Buccaneers on Tuesday, JoeBucsFan.com reports.

The Buccaneers own the No. 7 overall selection in May's draft and most analysts expect Mack to be long gone by that point, so perhaps the Buccaneers are considering a trade up. 

Should the Buccaneers acquire Mack, he would likely play strong-side linebacker alongside middle linebacker Mason Foster and All-Pro weak side linebacker Lavonte David. The potential trio would be among the NFL's best linebacking units without question.

Or perhaps the Buccaneers see Mack as a defensive end. He's a versatile player who could make an impact as a pure edge-rusher.
