Latest Bucs Headlines

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won their fourth game of the year by beating San Francisco, 27-9, on Sunday, snapping a four-game losing streak in the process. The Bucs improved to 4-7 on the year, but lost ground on having a higher draft pick in the 2019 NFL Draft with the victory over the 49ers, who are now 2-9 and would pick first overall if the draft were held today.

Tampa Bay is one of four teams that have a 4-7 record, and would pick last among that group – and 10th overall – due to its strength of schedule. Here is a look at the current 2019 NFL Draft order with five games left in the season:

2019 NFL Draft Order – Top 10
1. San Francisco (2-9)
2. Arizona (2-9)
3. Oakland (2-9)
4. NY Jets (3-8)
5. NY Giants (3-8)
6. Jacksonville (3-8)
7. Atlanta (4-7)
8. Detroit (4-7)
9. Buffalo (4-7)
10. Tampa Bay (4-7)

Here is a look at the remaining schedules for the teams that currently have Top 10 picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. Games that pit teams with 4-7 records or worse against each other are in bold.

San Francisco’s Remaining Schedule
At Seattle (6-5)
Vs. Denver (5-6)
Vs. Seattle (6-5)
Vs. Chicago (8-3)
At LA Rams (10-1)
Notes: Based upon this schedule, the 49ers will likely hang on to the top overall pick or at least stay in the Top 3.

Arizona’s Remaining Schedule
At Green Bay (4-6-1)
Vs. Detroit (4-7)
At Atlanta (4-7)
Vs. LA Rams (10-1)
At Seattle (6-5)
Notes: The Cardinals might have a chance to move out of the top 10 as their next three opponents have losing records.

Oakland’s Remaining Schedule
Vs. Kansas City (9-2)
Vs. Pittsburgh (7-3-1)
At Cincinnati (5-6)
Vs. Denver (5-6)
At Kansas City (9-2)
Notes: The Raiders have a difficult finish with two games against the Chiefs, the Steelers and the improving Broncos, and will likely hang on to a Top 3 pick.

New York Jets’ Remaining Schedule
At Tennessee (5-5)
At Buffalo (4-7)
Vs. Houston (8-3)
Vs. Green Bay (6-5)
At New England (8-3)
Notes: It’s not inconceivable that the Jets lose their remaining games and finish with a Top 3 selection.

New York Giants’ Remaining Schedule
Vs. Chicago (8-3)
At Washington (6-5)
Vs. Tennessee (5-5)
At Indianapolis (6-5)
Vs. Dallas (6-5)
Notes: The Giants have shown some signs of life and are one of the few teams that could claw their way out of a Top 10 draft pick and finish 6-10 or 7-9.

Jacksonville’s Remaining Schedule
Vs. Indianapolis (6-5)
At Tennessee (5-5)
Vs. Washington (6-5)
At Miami (5-6)
At Houston (7-3)
Notes: The Jaguars are imploding and although there are some winnable games ahead, they could also go 0-5 down the stretch and finish with a top 5 pick.

Atlanta’s Remaining Schedule
Vs. Baltimore (6-5)
At Green Bay (4-6-1)
Vs. Arizona (2-9)
At Carolina (6-5)
At Tampa Bay (4-7)
Notes: The Falcons have the schedule to make a move outside of the Top 10 and finish 7-9 or perhaps even 8-8 with a strong finish.

Detroit’s Remaining Schedule
Vs. LA Rams (10-1)
At Arizona (2-9)
At Buffalo (4-7)
Vs. Minnesota (6-4-1)
At Green Bay (4-6-1)
Notes: The Lions have a couple winnable games ahead and seem poised to finish 6-10.

Buffalo’s Remaining Schedule
At Miami (5-6)
Vs. NY Jets (3-8)
Vs. Detroit (4-7)
At New England (8-3)
Vs. Miami (5-6)
Notes: The Bills have been an enigma all season, yet they could go on a run at the end of the season depending on how their series with Miami fares.

Tampa Bay’s Remaining Schedule
Vs. Carolina (6-5)
Vs. New Orleans (10-1)
At Baltimore (6-5)
At Dallas (6-5)
Vs. Atlanta (4-7)
Notes: The Bucs seem destined to win maybe one or two more games and finish 5-11 or 6-10 this year, likely winding up with another Top 10 draft pick.
