Here are the latest Bucs mock drafts from draft analysts with their opinions on how Tampa Bay should approach their picks this year.
Bucs Mock Draft Roundup
Bucs’ 1st Round Pick: Oregon CB Christian Gonzalez
“The Brady-less, capped-out Bucs seem headed for an overhaul. But with DBs Jamel Dean, Mike Edwards, Logan Ryan and Sean Murphy-Bunting all headed for the open market, a talented corner like Gonzalez seems a like a logical choice.”
Bucs’ 1st Round Pick: Alabama CB Kool-Aid McKinstry
“The Buccaneers’ first order of business is to find Tom Brady’s replacement. However, there isn’t a remaining quarterback currently worthy of going off the board this early.
“Instead, the Buccaneers boost their secondary with Kool-Aid McKinstry, PFF’s top returning cornerback for 2023. The sophomore was a PFF first-team All-American this past season and tied for second in the country with 18 forced incompletions. With Jamel Dean potentially leaving in free agency, McKinstry will be a viable replacement.”
Bucs’ 1st Round Pick: Arkansas LB Drew Sanders
“Sanders is a former five-star recruit who transferred from Alabama after the 2021 season and all he did was show out for the Razorbacks. He was an edge rusher for the Crimson Tide, but he lined up all over the defense for Arkansas and he’s been a one-man wrecking crew when he’s on the field.”
