There may be seven rounds and seven picks coming up in the 2018 NFL Draft for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but here are the four biggest position needs.

As for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2017 NFL season, it is all but over even with two games left. The Bucs showed a lack of coaching ability and a lack of talent on both sides of the ball which has brought them to a measly 4-10 record.

Now with a multitude of serious injuries across the team that has landed five important pieces on Injured Reserve, the team is expected to finish these last two games 0-2.

No fan wants to root against his/her team, but if the Bucs do lose out… with some luck from other franchises they could be able to pick as high as fourth.

Although this is unlikely, the team will be in prime draft position to be able to draft a player that will be make an immediate impact on the team.

Will the team draft high enough to grab a stud defensive end like Bradley Chubb from North Carolina State or will they settle for a trade down option for a quarterback needy club?

Here are the fourth biggest position needs that will be addressed at the end of April in the 2018 NFL Draft (with some players to keep an eye on)… in no particular order.
