Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Top 10 Draft Mistakes in team history

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers find themselves entering the 2021 NFL Draft in arguably the most stress-free position a team has ever found themselves in when entering the Draft. With all 22 starters officially returning on an absolutely loaded Super Bowl championship roster, the Buccaneers are literally drafting for depth and filling out a glorified farm system for the future.
