Ranking the positions the Bucs will most mostlikely take with the No. 19 choice

O-line is definitely the Bucs’ mostsignificant requirement as it stands. The group requires both guards and takeson, however takeon is far more pushing — with the departure of Donovan Smith, Tampa Bay is looking for its left dealwith of the future and will most mostlikely shot to discover it with their veryfirst choice. Guard is still a bit of an concern, however the veteran finalizing of OG Matt Feiler makes it substantially less so.

Potential chooses: Darnell Wright, Anton Harrison, Paris Johnson

Shaq Barrett is coming back from an Achilles injury that might leave him a shadow of his previous self and DE Joe Tryon-Shoyinka isn’t precisely a world-beater in his veryfirst coupleof years. An EDGE is constantly important to a group and the Bucs might be looking to get moreyouthful at the position while they still can.

Potential chooses: Lukas Van Ness, Nolan Smith, Will McDonald IV

S Ryan Neal offers the Bucs a bit more freedom in the secondary, however the group is still in severe requirement of a CB3 after the departure of Sean Murphy-Bunting. Tampa Bay might appearance for one with the No. 19 select, and Alabama DB Brian Branch hasactually been the most typical gamer tabbed for such a choice.

Potential selects: Brian Branch, Julius Brents

The Bucs will likewise requirement some depth on the protective line, too, and the draft would be a excellent location to address that. With the finalizing of Greg Gaines in the offseason, though, it endsupbeing considerably less of a require, and this position is the veryfirst on the list that might be thoughtabout a surprise if the Bucs end up going in this instructions.

Potential selects: Calijah Kancey

The introduction of RB Rachaad White oughtto avoid Tampa Bay from picking a running back in the veryfirst round, however neverever state neverever. The Bucs haveactually made their love for RB Bijan Robinson understood, and while it isn’t especially likely at all, there’s a little possibility GM Jason Licht desires to get a weapon right away.

Potential chooses: Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs

The Bucs needto be delighted with TE Cade Otton’s efficiency in 2022 (as far as tight ends go), so going TE in Round 1 would be rather a shock. The just TE thoughtabout a worthwhile first-round choice is Utah’s Dalton Kincaid — he’ll be there, simply wear’t anticipate him to be a Buccaneer. Perhaps Day 2 will be more mostlikely for a Bucs TE choice.

Potential chooses: Dalton Kincaid

It appears as if the Bucs are settled on either Kyle Trask or Baker Mayfield, so regardlessof what numerous mock drafts appear to believe, going QB here would be rather a surprise. It’s likewise worth discussing that QB Will Levis’ draft stock has skyrocketed in current days, leaving coupleof quarterbacks the Bucs would truly danger the choice to take.

Potential selects: Will Levis, Hendon Hooker

Sure, the Devin White circumstance is continuous, however an off-ball linebacker with No. 19 would still be a stunning choice. The group still has Lavonte David and (likely) White for one more year, and the skill in this specific swimmingpool isn’t almost as admired as others.

Potential chooses: Drew Sanders, Jack Campbell, Trenton Simpson

Receiver is definitely the least mostlikely position the Bucs will go in the veryfirst round of the 2023 draft. Tampa Bay currently has 3 strong choices from the dive, so including a 4th when other positions might be looked at would be an extraordinary oversight at this phase in the group’s advancement.

Potential selects: Zay Flowers, Jordan Addison
