Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 7-round mock draft before the Combine
By Cory Kinnan
Two weeks before the NFL Combine, what would full 7-round mock draft look like as the board lies today?

In what is these players’ first opportunities to wow NFL teams, we have seen names like Shaquem Griffin and Saquon Barkley take steal the show, while Orlando Brown Jr. dropped out of the first round due to his Combine performance just a year ago.

The Bucs have picks in every round except the sixth, and due to the purging of aging veterans, they will have a lot of holes to fill. Bruce Arians, Jason Licht, and his team of scouts will have a close eye on a number of player in Indianapolis, particularly those who play in the secondary and on the offensive line.
Tampa Bay’s biggest team needs lie at the safety position, cornerback, offensive tackle, defensive line, and linebacker. The team hopes to re-sign Kwon Alexander, which would take away one need for the Bucs and allow them to focus their attention elsewhere. Before the Combine takes place, and as the big boards lie today, here is a 7-round mock draft for Tampa Bay.
