The NFL Combine is days away from going live on NFL Network and the Buccaneers are in attendance like every other franchise as they hunt for their 2017 draft targets.

Before we know it it’ll be time for the NFL Draft and the Buccaneers’ 19th pick will be history for all of us to gather around the proverbial water coolers in America and speculate until our heart’s content. After all, we are football fans, it’s what we do.

Until then, we’ll just have to settle for arguing back-and-forth about who’s getting picked where and what the Bucs should do if this or that other guy is still available when they go on the clock. What is Licht going to do? We know he can be unpredictable, see Roberto Aguayo. Time will tell us what holes he will fill and when.

The combine will clear some of this picture up, and free agency looms large as this real-life drama unfolds, but in the meantime let’s make some early assumptions and predict some landing spots for the most talented young football names in the country.

It’s mock draft time, and we’re doing the entire first round!
