With the Super Bowl over and done, all eyes are now on the 2022 season which means… draft content! I know you all have been eagerly anticipating our Buccaneers.com mock drafts and far be it from Senior Writer Scott Smith and I to keep you waiting. We will be alternating full first-round mock drafts each week until the draft itself and I have the pleasure of kicking us off. This first iteration comes with a lot of pressure for yours truly. After spending nearly two paragraphs last year talking about how picking at 32 would make it impossible to keep my streak of being correct on my initial try, I ended up being correct with my initial try. I had the Bucs picking Joe Tryon with the 32nd pick. Let me be clear – it was nothing more than a lucky guess – but after three years of being correct now, the pressure is on. However, given that the Bucs aren't picking much higher than 32 this year and have a ton of question marks in free agency, I fully expect the 'Buc' to stop here. See what I did there? And you'll see what I did later in this article. Spoiler alert: I took the best player at a potential position of need that was available. That's all you can do.
