Here is a 2023 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
Round 1 (No. 19 total) — Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh: When you believe undersized Pitt interior D-linemen who live behind the line of skirmish … OKAY, let’s not saddle Kancey with the Aaron Donald contrast. But let’s commemorate the 6-1, 281-pounder who dropped a 4.67-second 40 at the integrate after publishing 14½ sacks and 27½ TFLs for the Panthers over the past 2 years integrated. Now picture including the ruling ACC Defensive Player of the Year to the interior of a defense where DT Vita Vea draws up obstructs. Should be a frightening combo, and one that might keep the Brady-less Bucs pertinent in the NFC South. Draft tracker
Round 2 (48, from Lions through Packers) — Cody Mauch, OT, North Dakota State: A 6-5, 302-pounder – and simple to differentiate giventhat he doesn’t have his front teeth (personal option following a basketball mishap) – he might plug in as the replacement for Donovan Smith at left dealwith or flip to the right side if the Bucs relocation Tristan Wirfs. Tough gamer who might truly play anywhere along the front safeguarding brand-new QB Baker Mayfield. Draft tracker
