The Buccaneers go to the 2021 NFL Draft with no pressing Super Bowl 55 runs needed. After Tampa Bay’s big move put the team together in free agency for Tom Brady, it could go into “best available player” mode and prevent the most lucrative prospects for the future.
There is no surprise as to how the Bookers pick up from April 29-May 1. They start with the last pick in the first round and follow it up with one each in round six. Here’s how Sporting News presents the Bucs’ selections through Round 7 through Round 1:

Buccaneers Mock Draft 2021
32 total, first round
- Levi Onwuzuraik, DT, Washington (6-3, 290 pounds)
Ndamukong Suh was brought back for another season, but he is 34 years old. Onwuzurike can deliver in the same way as a replacement with its quick disintegration.
Total 64, second round
- Chris Rumph II, EDGE, Duke (6-3, 235 pounds)
A positional pass very productive for the Blue Devils would be in the market for Rushker and Rumph, ideal for the ability behind Shaquille Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul.
No. 95 overall, third round
- Shaetrius “Tutu” Atwell, WR, Louisville (5-9, 165 pounds)
The team has been reluctant to bring back Antonio Brown because of how many prospects for Brad with great speed and quickness to boost their big-game run. Atwell is a very fast play who can do a lot of damage in the open field.
No. 137 overall, fourth round
- Milton Williams, DT, Louisiana Tech (6-3, 284 pounds)
Onwuzurike can help replace Suh, but here is a strong and powerful backup to VA in their rotation.
Number 176, fifth round overall
- Trey Norwood, CB, Oklahoma (6-0, 192 lb)
The Buccaneers have produced a very good front-line secondary, but they can give some size and depth to the subpackage. Norwood also has the ability to slide for safety and help.
No. 217 overall, sixth round
- Davis Mills, QB, Stanford (6-5, 217)
Mills has a wide range of draft results with his Late Rate, but he still seems like a Late Day 2 option versus a Day 3 developmental prospect. He makes a lot of sense as a cerebral pocket passer with a prototype Brady-like shape to bring Gory behind.
No. 251 overall, seventh round
- Michal Manet, G / C, Penn State (6-4, 301 lb)
The Buccaneers may choose to go first for their versatile internal offensive line depth, Menet is an experienced, skilled power blocker who can further develop his athleticism and technique.
