The Tampa Bay Buccaneers currently have the No. 14 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Here’s a look at 10 possible prospects to take in the first round.

There’s a common consensus that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will stay put at No. 14 in the 2020 NFL Draft and select an offensive tackle.

However, there are plenty of options that the Buccaneers will explore as we head into draft season.

Here’s a look at 11 prospects the Buccaneers will consider and what they’d have to do to come away with them in the first-round (ie trade-up, stay at No. 14, or trade back).

For this post, we decided to look at prospects who seem fairly realistic, so guys like Joe Burrow and Jedrick Wills Jr. (because the Bucs won’t likely be willing to trade up to No. 1 to get Burrow or to trade up decently high to select an offensive lineman) were left off the board.

11. DT Javon Kinlaw, South Carolina

Starting off our list is an interior defensive lineman who has been linked to the Buccaneers on several occasions.

Javon Kinlaw, a product out of South Carolina, is likely to be the second interior defensive lineman taken in the 2020 NFL Draft and could prove to be a dominant force for whatever team ends up selecting him.

Currently, Kinlaw would likely be available at No. 14 and Tampa Bay could draft him should offensive tackle prospects not work out or if they’re more focused on filling a hole potentially left by Ndamukong Suh in free-agency.
