The Buccaneers, here in this mock draft leading up to the 2020 NFL Draft, finally move on from quarterback Jameis Winston after five years.

Well it is officially time to look forward to the 2020 NFL Draft after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have dropped to 3-7 and have crushed any hopes of a second half comeback beneath their boot. Quarterback Jameis Winston again had a multiple interception game, throwing four in the loss to the New Orleans Saints.

While one interception was at the fault of tight end O.J. Howard, who bobbled a pass that hit him in the hands around his back and popped it up right to Saints’ linebacker Demario Davis, the other three fall squarely on the shoulders of Jameis Winston. He has now thrown 18 interceptions on the season in just ten games as he continues to try to prove he deserves a second contract with the Buccaneers.

Not a ton of franchise quarterbacks go into their final six games of their contract without a new contract in hand, Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys being the exception, so if Winston does not have a long term deal now, he probably never will. The Buccaneers need to blow whatever they have built right now up and start from scratch; unfortunately that starts with the quarterback position.

Here is a mock draft Monday as the Buccaneers start again from scratch.
