It is NFL Draft season and the mock drafts from the NFL experts and pundits are being published nearly every day and making their picks for the Bucs. Each seek until the 2020 NFL Draft in April, PewterReport.com will scour the Internet to find the list of players that are projected to Tampa Bay and put out the list with the links.

PewterReport.com – Scott Reynolds
South Carolina DL Javon Kinlaw
“The Bucs have a big need at right tackle, but with top talent like Georgia’s Andrew Thomas, Alabama’s Jedrick Wills, Iowa’s Tristian Wirfs – and possibly Louisville’s Mekhi Becton – likely to be gone by the time Tampa Bay picks at No. 14, Licht and Arians can’t resist getting Bowles a big, physical presence inside like Kinlaw to keep the Bucs dominant in the trenches.”

NFL.com – Daniel Jeremiah
Oregon QB Justin Herbert
“Teams are all over the map on Herbert. However, he does fit the profile for Bruce Arians — he’s big, strong and smart.”

SI.com – Kevin Hanson
LSU Edge Rusher K’Lavon Chaisson
“Chaisson tore his ACL in the 2018 season opener, but the 20-year-old has elite speed off the edge and came on late in ’19—4.5 sacks in final four games—to lead LSU in sacks, tackles for loss and QB hurries.”

CBSSports.com – Ryan Wilson
LSU Edge Rusher K’Lavon Chaisson
“Chaisson will need to add 10 pounds to his frame but he’s already an explosive, disruptive presence off the edge.”

Bleacherreport.com – Matt Miller
LSU S Grant Delpit
“Without a quarterback selected, look for the Buccaneers to fall head-over-heels in love with LSU safety Grant Delpit. Defensive coordinator Todd Bowles is the NFL’s best with safeties and will undoubtedly see plenty of Jamal Adams when evaluating him.”

WalterFootball.com
LSU S Grant Delpit
“Grant Delpit is an exceptional talent who was once considered a top-10 lock, but has struggled a bit in 2019.”

NBCSports.com
LSU S Grant Delpit
“Tampa Bay has had safety problems for years now. By selecting All-American Grant Delpit they finally put those issues to bed.”

Sportingnews.com – Vinnie Iyer
South Carolina DL Javon Kinlaw
“For reinforcement, they can look to Will Muschamp’s defense, where the 6-6, 310-pound Kinlaw posted 6 sacks in 12 games for the Gamecocks. Offensive tackle and cornerback also will get consideration with this pick.”

TheDraftNetwork.com – Trevor Sikkema
Utah State QB Jordan Love
“Drafting a quarterback in the first round after franchise tagging Winston would be aggressive, but it might be what is best. Tampa could use an offensive tackle, but with so many of the top ones already off the board, the next best value and payoff might just be to draft QB like Jordan Love, who has the big arm, the mobility and and high ceiling, but is far from that right now, and allow him to sit for a full year under Arians.”

PFF.com – Mike Renner
Auburn DL Derrick Brown
“Brown feels like a pretty safe projection with how much he dominated week in and week out in the SEC. He had only one start this season (LSU) where he earned a below-average grade. That will pair nicely next to Vita Vea on Tampa Bay’s interior.”
