The fourth-round pick in this mock was one of the easier ones to make. Thaddeus Moss fell to the fourth round in this simulation and was too good an opportunity to pass on. Most educated guesses point to him going before this but stranger things have happened before.

If Moss was to fall this far the Buccaneers would likely not pass on him. This would allow the team to trade away Cameron Brate for some cap relief while also bringing in a good pass-catching tight end to pair with O.J. Howard.

This would put Tampa Bay in a great position as Moss would certainly get a hefty amount of use and the team could also use the new cap space to sign other important free agents.

It is also worth considering that there is a minute chance that Tom Brady comes to the Buccaneers and the idea of him throwing passes to Randy Moss‘ son is both surreal and heart-warming simultaneously.

Thaddeus Moss was a beast during his single season at LSU with 47 receptions for 570 yards and four touchdowns. It should also be noted that Moss is improving as a blocker as well. This would translate well to any offense in the NFL, but especially an offense that utilizes 22 personnel sets as much as the Buccaneers do.
