This week's edition of our Mock Draft series will look different from the ones that came before, as it is a seven-round mock draft of only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' picks. The Buccaneers currently have nine selections in April's draft and will begin to refine the roster in a post-Tom Brady world. Despite serious salary-cap limitations, the Bucs made more significant moves in the offseason then many predicted. Tampa Bay agreed to terms with Baker Mayfield on a one-year deal, adding a veteran presence to the quarterback room. He will compete with 2021 second-round pick Kyle Trask for the starting role and the Bucs added other salary-compliant options in defensive lineman Greg Gaines, running back Chase Edmonds and kicker Chase McLaughlin. Most notably, Tampa Bay was able to retain several of their top free agents including inside linebacker Lavonte David, cornerback Jamel Dean and outside linebacker Anthony Nelson. That sets up a competitive roster with few glaring deficiencies, but a squad that could bolster its depth at a variety of spots during the Draft. For the purposes of this mock draft, I will not be incorporating trades. However, I will make note that with nine total picks, General Manager Jason Licht could opt to package some of the third-day picks to be used in a trade up in the early rounds. With that in mind, let's get started. Here are the picks, all of whom conducted interviews with the Bucs at the Combine whether formal or informal:
