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 week 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. The first week of free agency has caused some mock drafts to be adjusted as teams have filled the needs on their roster by signing veteran players.

NEW MOCKS THIS WEEK

PewterReport.com – Jon Ledyard
Bucs’ First Round Pick: Alabama OT Jedrick Wills
Bucs’ Second Round Pick: Georgia RB D’Andre Swift
Bucs’ Third Round Pick: LSU OG Damien Lewis
“Some days I think four offensive tackles are going to be off the board by the time Tampa Bay picks, and some days I could see a very believable scenario like this one where they fall down the board. Clearly this is the Bucs’ biggest need and I believe they should entertain trading up a few spots to grab Wills, as he would be an instant starter with the ceiling of one of the top offensive tackles in the NFL. In this scenario, the Bucs don’t have to.” – Jon Ledyard 

NFL.com – Lance Zerlein
Bucs’ First Round Pick: Georgia OT Andrew Thomas
“Thomas has experience at both left and right tackle. He plays with a gritty demeanor while offering gets-guys-blocked value in pass protection.” – Lance Zerlein

CBS Sports – Ryan Wilson
Bucs’ First Round Pick (Pick 7, From Panthers): Iowa OT Tristan Wirfs
“Wirfs was dominant during the 2019 and he can play either right or left tackle. The Bucs move up to get him because a. it’s imperative they protect Tom Brady, and b. they desperately need a right tackle.” – Ryan Wilson

CBS Sports – Chris Trapasso
Bucs’ First Round Pick: Houston OT Josh Jones
“This is probably the highest you’ll see Jones, but the Buccaneers have to take the offensive line seriously with Tom Brady in the mix.” – Chris Trapasso

Barstool Sports – Steven Cheah
Bucs’ First Round Pick (Pick 21, From Eagles): USC OT Austin Jackson
“Jackson is a talented Right Tackle but had some bad tape in 2019. However, it should be noted that he gave bone marrow to his sister just before the season. It caused a lot of issues this season as he wasn’t even able to squat until the 4th game of the season. But looking at his body of work as a whole and the obvious character plus, Jackson is the choice for the Bucs. He can plug in a Right Tackle with the potential to move to Left Tackle if needed down the line. ” – Steven Cheah 

Yahoo Sports – Eric Edholm
Bucs’ First Round Pick: Georgia OT Andrew Thomas 
“The team signed Joe Haeg, but they can still upgrade at right tackle. Thomas grew on me the more I watched him, and I now understand why some NFL teams like him even better than a few of the three tackles that already have gone off the board.

“Now all the rookie would have to do is protect Tom Brady’s front side. No big deal!” – Eric Edholm 

Sports Illustrated – Kevin Hanson
Bucs’ First Round Pick: Utah QB Jordan Love 
“There is “growing buzz” that Love could be a top-10 pick. While it may take a trade up to get him, the trio of teams in the 12-to-14 range could all be intrigued by the quarterback that one NFL head coach called a “poor man’s (Patrick) Mahomes.” Given Love’s live arm, plus mobility and improvisational skills, Bruce Arians may be willing to take a chance on his traits as a quarterback to develop behind the soon-to-be 43-year-old new Buccaneer Tom Brady.” – Kevin Hanson

Pro Football Focus – Michael Renner
Bucs’ First Round Pick: South Carolina DT Javon Kinlaw
“The signing of Joe Haeg means the Buccaneers don’t have to go offensive tackle. And at this point, the value looks like it will be elsewhere. Kinlaw’s 91.7 pass-rushing grade over the past two seasons is the highest of any interior player in the draft class.” – Michael Renner

USA Today – Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz
Bucs’ First Round Pick: Georgia OT Andre Smith
“There likely are still forthcoming changes to be made for Tampa Bay to meld its offense into an outfit comfortable for Brady. A good starting point is upgrading the line, and the steady Thomas is likely the most pro-ready of his peers.” – Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz

247 Sports – Lance Cartelli
Bucs’ First Round Pick: USC OT Austin Jackson
With Tom Brady heading to Tampa Bay — yes, that’s a weird sentence to write — the Buccaneers must protect their new prized possession. The Bucs fill their gaping hole at right tackle with the athletic USC lineman.” – Lance Cartelli

Touchdown Wire – Doug Farrar
Bucs’ First Round Pick: Houston OT Josh Jones
“A spread/zone blocker in college for the most part, Jones will need time and development to become a high-level run-blocker, but when you have the chance to select a guy who’s allowed just 18 pressures on 1,282 pass-blocking snaps over the past three years, and you now have the greatest quarterback in NFL history plying his trade for you, I’d say it’s a pretty good match.” – Doug Farrar

Jordan Reid – The Draft Network
Bucs’ First Round Pick: South Carolina DT Javon Kinlaw
Bucs’ Second Round Pick: Georgia RB D’Andre Swift
Bucs’ Third Round Pick: Washington QB Jacob Eason
“Tom Brady is a Buccaneer. It still feels awkward saying that, but it also shows Tampa Bay is in a win-now mode. Now, in a worst-case scenario will four of the top offensive tackles gone, the Buccaneers should opt for the best player available and that’s Javon Kinlaw. Pairing him alongside Vita Vea makes Todd Bowles’ ascending defense even better than it was a year ago.” – Jordan Reid

Walter Football – Charlie Campbell 
Bucs’ First Round Pick: Georgia RB D’Andre Swift
Bucs’ Second Round Pick: Texas A&M DT Justin Madubuike 
Bucs’ Third Round Pick: Penn State WR K.J. Hamler
Bucs’ Fourth Round Pick: Maryland S Antoine Brooks 
Bucs’ Fourth Round Pick: Auburn Ege Nick Coe

“Some team sources are high on Swift and feel he is a better prospect than Nick Chubb, Sony Michel or Josh Jacobs were. It can be hard to get carries at Georgia with the program’s stable of future NFL backs, but Swift (5-8, 212) was so talented, he forced his way onto the field. He flashed as a freshman even though Sony Michel and Nick Chubb got the majority of attempts. Swift averaged 7.6 yards per carry for 618 yards and three touchdowns that season. In 2018, it was Elijah Holyfield who split the touches with Swift. Swift took over as a starter that season and totaled 1,049 yards with an average of 6.4 yards per carry and 10 touchdowns on only 163 carries. The sophomore also contributed well as a receiver, collecting 32 receptions for 297 yards and three touchdowns.” – Charlie Campbell 

NFL.com – Chad Reuter
Bucs’ First Round Pick: Auburn DT Derrick Brown 
Bucs’ Second Round Pick: Georgia RB D’Andre Swift 
Bucs’ Third Round Pick: UConn OT Matt Peart 
Bucs’ Fourth Round Pick: Iowa S Geno Stone
Bucs’ Fourth Round Pick: Iowa QB Nate Stanley
“The Bucs can find a right tackle later in the draft — in fact, they might draft two outside linemen this year. Getting a stud like Brown with the 14th pick is too rich to pass up, even with Ndamukong Suh returning to the Bucs on a one-year deal.” – Chad Reuter

The Draft Wire – Luke Easterling
Bucs’ First Round Pick: Georgia OT Andrew Thomas
Bucs’ Second Round Pick: Ohio State RB J.K. Dobbins
Bucs’ Third Round Pick: USC WR Michael Pittman
Bucs’ Fourth Round Pick: Oklahoma QB Jalen Hurts
Bucs’ Fourth Round Pick: Georgia S J.R. Reed
“Tampa Bay desperately needs a starting-caliber tackle at this pick, which means they may get nervous and have to move up to make sure they land one of the top four. Thankfully in this scenario, that doesn’t prove necessary. Thomas is talented enough to not only start at right tackle immediately, but could even push longtime starter Donovan Smith at left tackle.” – Luke Easterling

CBS Sports – Josh Edwards
Bucs’ First Round Pick: Louisville OT Mekhi Becton
Bucs’ Second Round Pick: Florida State RB Cam Akers 
Bucs’ Third Round Pick: Florida Edge Jonathan Greenard
Bucs’ Fourth Round Pick: Georgia QB Jake Fromm 
Bucs’ Fourth Round Pick: SMU WR James Proche 
Bucs’ Fifth Round Pick: Mississippi State OL Darryl Williams 
Bucs’ Sixth Round Pick: Boston College RB AJ Dillon
“Tampa Bay runs the risk of missing out on one of the top offensive tackles by standing pat at No. 14 overall. However, it works out for Bruce Arians and Tom Brady here.” – Josh Edwards
