Last week, my colleague Brianna Dix conducted an 'All Bucs' mock draft, in which she made predictions for each of the seven selections the Tampa Bay Buccaneers currently own in the 2024 NFL Draft, from pick number 26 in Round One through pick number 246 in Round Six. My reaction: Why does she get to have all the fun? So I'm going to be a copycat and do an All Bucs draft, too. Brianna and I will get back to full first-round mocks over the next two weeks but for now I want to try my hand at this seven-round effort. Plus, I have a streak I will make an effort to continue, as in each of the past two years I've made one prediction that hit. In 2022, I mocked Washington tight end Cade Otton to the Buccaneers in the fourth round; after a trade down in the first round, the Bucs ended up with an extra fourth-rounder, the very first pick of Day Three, and did indeed use it on Otton. Last year, I did a full second-round mock draft and gave the Bucs North Dakota State guard Cody Mauch at number 50; the Bucs did nab Mauch in the second round, but only after trading up two spots to number 48.
