The calendar has flipped to April, which can only mean one thing: The NFL Draft is this month. The Bucs have addressed some of their needs during free agency, but they still have plenty of areas to shore up before the season rolls around. And while there are likely to be a few more free agency moves, Jason Licht and his staff will need to have a big draft on the last weekend in April.

Now that the big rush of free agency moves is firmly in the rearview mirror (even though big moves surrounding Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson are still to come), there is a clearer picture of the needs that each of the league’s 32 teams has. That makes mock drafts a little more representative of what could happen come draft weekend, though there is always an element of unpredictability to it.

But now that we’re in April, what better time than now for another Bucs mock draft Roundup? Below are the Bucs’ picks in the latest mocks from analysts around the NFL world.

In Edwards’ latest three-round mock published on Friday, he had the Bucs going big on offense— literally and figuratively — with their first three picks.

Round 1, Pick 19: Florida IOL O’Cyrus Torrence

“Tampa Bay’s roster is fine with Baker Mayfield, but the offensive line needs to be more reliable. The selection of O’Cyrus Torrence is the first step toward achieving long-term health for that unit.”

Round 2, Pick 50: BYU OT Blake Freeland

Round 3, Pick 82: Michigan TE Luke Schoonmaker

Matthew Freedman — FantasyPros

In his mock draft 6.0, Freedman also sees the Bucs adding some help for their offensive line. This time, it’s at the tackle position.

Round 1, Pick 19: Tennessee OT Darnell Wright

Cynthia Frelund — NFL.com

Frelund’s mock 2.0 dropped Thursday, and it features yet another offensive tackle for the Bucs.

Round 1, Pick 19: Oklahoma OT Anton Harrison

“Offensive line has to be a priority after some key departures. Harrison played LT at Oklahoma and allowed only one knock down (sack/hit) on 425 pass pro snaps last season, per PFF.”

Tannenbaum’s mock draft from Tuesday has Tampa Bay adding some competition — and a complement — to 2022 third-round running back Rachaad White.

Round 1, Pick 19: Texas RB Bijan Robinson

“Tampa Bay has moved on from Leonard Fournette and could land the best running back in the draft with its first-rounder. Robinson is a top-five talent who can score any time he touches the ball. He averaged 6.3 yards per rush as a Longhorn and tallied 33 career rushing touchdowns. Having a dominant running back is a fantastic way to alleviate pressure on the team’s uncertain quarterback position, which is currently occupied by Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask.”

Keith Sanchez — The Draft Network

Sanchez released his mock draft 7.0 earlier this week, covering the first two rounds. The Bucs add to their defense first this time before picking up an offensive tackle.

Round 1, Pick 19: Penn State CB Joey Porter Jr.

“The Buccaneers can go multiple different ways with this pick, but I believe Todd Bowles opts to go with the defense. They draft Joey Porter Jr. to add to a cornerback room that needs improvement. This defense is aging quickly and pieces like Porter help them build for the future.”

Round 2, Pick 51: Maryland OT Jaelyn Duncan

“Due to age and injury, the Buccaneers’ offensive line unit went from a strength to a weakness. With this pick, they address this unit and draft OT Jaelyn Duncan.”

Kent Platte — Pro Football Network

Platte released a first-round mock on Thursday, with Tampa Bay selecting some pass rushing help.

Round 1, Pick 19: Iowa EDGE Lukas Van Ness

“When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Joe Tryon-Shoyinka it became clear they favored explosiveness and suddenness in their pass rush. Lukas Van Ness isn’t the most refined pass rusher, but he has some of the highest upside of the group, with some of the best agility in a fairly strong pass rusher class.”

Brooks’ mock draft 3.0 dropped on Tuesday, and it included an increasingly popular pick for the Bucs at No. 19.

Round 1, Pick 19: Tennessee OT Darnell Wright

“Fixing the offensive line is a top priority for the Buccaneers after the unit crumbled in 2022. Wright is a natural right tackle, so Tristan Wirfs would need to shift to the blindside spot vacated by Donovan Smith to make this move work.”

Eric Edholm — NFL.com

On Monday, Edholm released his mock draft 2.0 and had Tampa Bay trading back from No. 19. The Bucs sent their pick to the Cowboys, who selected Texas running back Bijan Robinson. With Dallas’ pick at No. 26, Tampa Bay went offensive tackle.

Round 1, Pick 26: Tennessee OT Darnell Wright

“If the Bucs move Tristan Wirfs to left tackle, Wright could be a Day 1 starter on the right side.”

Chad Reuter — NFL.com

Reuter published a four-round mock on March 24, including an interesting mix of selections for the Bucs. Of course, Tampa Bay does not have a fourth-round pick, so the team had three picks in this mock.

Round 1, Pick 19: Georgia OT Broderick Jones

“The Bucs figure to be in the tackle market after the release of Donovan Smith. They could take Jones to step into Smith’s left tackle spot or pick Tennessee’s Darnell Wright to play on the right side and shift Tristan Wirfs to the blindside.”

Round 2, Pick 50: Boise State S JL Skinner III

Round 3, Pick 82: Kansas State EDGE Felix Anudike-Uzomah

Feldman’s mock from Friday (subscription required) had a wild card pick for Tampa Bay, which needs offensive line, pass rushing and safety help above anything else. This one appears to be a “best player available” projection.

Round 1, Pick 19: Boston College WR Zay Flowers

“Whether Baker Mayfield or Kyle Trask can prove to be the answer at QB in the post-Tom Brady era, the Bucs need to upgrade at receiver. While the idea of picking an OT here might be tempting, Flowers is too good to pass up. I could see there being some consideration here for USC’s Jordan Addison, but the hunch is that Flowers is the most complete prospect, although both are undersized.

“The 5 feet 9, 182-pound Flowers, who only has 29 1/4-inch arms but does have 4.42 speed and a 10-7 broad jump, proved to be a one-man wrecking crew for BC despite not having many offensive pieces around him in 2022. He caught 56 passes for 892 yards and nine TDs despite being the main focus of rival defenses.”

Jordan Reid — ESPN.com

This was the big one of the week, as Reid released a full seven-round mock on Wednesday. In that one, the Bucs got a haul.

Round 1, Pick 19: Oklahoma OT Anton Harrison

“Harrison gets my vote for the prospect who’ll hear his name called much earlier than most expect. He just turned 21 years old, has been rock solid as a two-year starter at Oklahoma and has spent his entire career at left tackle. He is a polished pass protector, but his biggest hurdle will be sustaining at the point of attack for longer periods of time and continuing to improve his strength. After the release of Donovan Smith, the Bucs could move All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs over to the other side, but why mess with something that works? Drafting a natural left tackle to pair with Wirfs is the better solution.”

Round 2, Pick 50: Auburn EDGE Derick Hall

“With veteran Shaq Barrett coming off a torn Achilles and 2021 first-rounder Joe Tryon-Shoyinka searching to unlock the next stages of his development, edge rusher is a top need in Tampa Bay. Last season, Vita Vea (6.5) and Devin White (5.5) led the team in sacks. Hall is a base end who has powerful pass-rush moves — he had 6.5 sacks last season. He’s also capable of dropping into coverage.”

Round 3, Pick 82: Illinois S Jartavius “Quan” Martin 

“Antoine Winfield Jr. is entrenched as the Bucs’ starter at strong safety, but there are question marks at free safety. Martin has the versatility to take on multiple roles in the secondary and be a key component on special teams. He had 3 interceptions, 11 passes defended and 2 forced fumbles last season.”

Round 5, Pick 153: Mississippi State IDL Cameron Young

Round 5, Pick 175: Cincinnati WR Tre Tucker

Round 6, Pick 179: Purdue QB Aidan O’Connell

Round 6, Pick 181: Michigan K Jake Moody

Round 6, Pick 196: UAB RB DeWayne McBride

Round 7, Pick 252: Vanderbilt LB Anfernee Orji
