Why
The team needs a quality offensive tackle to bolster the depth behind Tristan Wirfs, as current options are a risk. The safety position is another area of concern, with multiple recent signings and cuts showing instability. More talent could be added to the defensive line rotation, which recently lost a player, and to the cornerback group.

Track record read
Jason Licht's Buccaneers prioritize trench play in early rounds, particularly on the defensive line. Despite the Kyle Trask pick, the recent trend leans toward solidifying QB protection and pressuring opponents, sometimes taking calculated risks on interior guards like Cody Mauch. We also note a preference for Southeast and ACC/SEC prospects, but without dismissing lesser-known talents if the floor is high.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Three names per every pick.
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Trevor Goosby
Texas
OTHis size and feet are true LT material; the anchor's the big question, but that All-Pro ceiling... if the staff polishes him, it's wild.
Jackson Bennee
Utah
SLocks up that back-end with vision and impact. If they clean up tackling angles, he's a secondary anchor for years.
Colin Simmons
Texas
DLBrings that edge pop the DL needs; if he develops against the run, he's a difference-maker, if not, a third-down menace.
Second round
3 names
Zach Lutmer
Iowa
SSecondary general Tampa needs, Lutmer's high football IQ gives a high floor, but long speed remains a concern.
Teitum Tuioti
Oregon
DLWe need that relentless motor in the pass rush; Tuioti brings constant effort. Solid rotational floor, but ceiling demands more move variety.
Ashton Hampton
Clemson
CBGets them the physical press-man CB they needed. If he cleans up the hands, he's a perimeter ceiling-changer starter
Third round
3 names
Blake Frazier
Michigan
OTLocks down the right side of the line, reliable anchor. If he fixes oversetting, you've got a very high-floor starter for the future.
Caleb Weaver
Sam Houston
SPatches that secondary hole with an instant anchor; tape's what matters, his floor as a box S is high.
Sabastian Harsh
Wyoming
DLRelentless motor, brings that disciplined EDGE play the DL needs. High floor, medium ceiling, but the effort's always there.
