Buccaneers trade up for franchise QB in latest CBS mock

Although the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed Baker Mayfield to compete with Kyle Trask for their starting quarterback job, CBS Sports NFL Draft analyst Chris Trapasso does not believe that will preclude them from taking a signal caller come late April’s festivities.

In his latest mock draft, Trapasso has the Bucs trading with the New England Patriots to jump up from No. 19 to No. 14 overall to take Kentucky quarterback Will Levis, who has recently been sliding down many draft boards.

“The Buccaneers don’t wait around for Levis as he gets this close to them,” Trapasso writes in the mock up. “Serious competition for Kyle Trask and Baker Mayfield. The Patriots get No. 19 overall and a 2024 second-round pick to slide back in this swap.”
