No. 27 – Buccaneers – Texas A&M G Kenyon Green
The surprise retirement of Ali Marpet created another hole for the Buccaneers to fill this offseason. Although he offers multi-position versatility, Green is best at guard where he can step in and be a starter from day one.

No. 60 – Buccaneers – Penn State S Jaquan Brisker

No. 27 – Buccaneers – Cincinnati QB Desmond Ridder
Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians and general manager Jason Licht have not been shy in discussing the quarterback position following Tom Brady’s retirement, expressing trust in journeyman Blaine Gabbert while making it pretty clear the next leader of the franchise may not be on the roster. Ridder earned an elite 90.7 grade in 2021 and is arguably the most pro-ready quarterback in the class. His 4.52-second 40-yard dash opened some eyes around the league with respect to his top-end athletic ability.

No. 27 – Buccaneers – Boston College G Zion Johnson
The sudden retirement of Ali Marpet – as well as potential free-agent losses along the interior – could make Johnson a perfect match for the Bucs.

The Draft Network’s Kyle Crabbs

No. 27 – Buccaneers – Purdue OLB George Karlaftis
With the return of Chris Godwin on the franchise tag (again), Tampa is suddenly in the market for a new pick. In the front seven, the Bucs are prepping to see Ndamukong Suh, Vernon Gholston, and Jason Pierre-Paul all hit free agency. So with Tennessee now picking Drake London, we’re going to lock in a very good scheme/system fit for the Bucs here at No. 27 overall.

CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso

No. 27 – Buccaneers – Boston College G Zion Johnson
Johnson is a high floor, Week 1 starter at guard to fill the void created by Ali Marpet’s retirement.

No. 27 – Buccaneers – Oklahoma DT Perrion Winfrey
The Georgia guys get all the hype, but I think Perrion Winfrey is right with them — or at least Wyatt. It’s difficult to compare anyone to Davis, but Winfrey should be comfortably in the first-round conversation with them. The Oklahoma defender was dominant at the Senior Bowl, and he features an elite physical skill set. Winfrey didn’t participate in every Combine drill, but he showed enough to strengthen his appeal. In the 40-yard dash, Winfrey ran a 4.86 with a brisk 1.68 10-yard split. All this comes as Winfrey weighed in at 6’4″, 290 pounds, with outrageously long 35 1/4″ arms. Seeing Winfrey’s length and compact, powerful frame in person, he looks like he was made in a lab. He’s tailor-made for the 3-technique role in Tampa Bay’s defense, and he could be an absolute menace next to Vita Vea.

No. 60 – Buccaneers – Nevada QB Carson Strong
It seems like one quarterback is bound to fall in the 2022 NFL Draft. In this 7-Round 2022 NFL Mock Draft, that quarterback is Carson Strong. With lacking mobility, a knee injury in his history, and questions surrounding his interviewing, Strong has the least security of the top QBs. There’s no denying his arm, however. It may be the best in the class, and that’s why he shouldn’t fall out of Round 2. He has the arm to maximize Bruce Arians’ downfield attack.

No. 91 – Buccaneers – Mississippi State CB Martin Emerson
Long, physical cornerback with impressive closing speed and decent fluidity.

No. 132 – Buccaneers – Georgia G Justin Shaffer

No. 170  – Buccaneers – Penn State OLB Jesse Luketa

No. 246 – Buccaneers – USC RB Keaontay Ingram
