Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN is staying on board the offensive lineman train for the Buccaneers in his Mock Draft 2.0. He has the Bucs taking offensive guard Quenton Nelson out of Notre Dame with their first pick at seven.
Some experts introduced trade possibilities this week, including Pewter Report’s Scott Reynolds, who has the Bucs trading down with the Buffalo Bills to nab picks 21 and 22 in the first round. Reynolds has the Bucs nabbing a running back with the departure of Doug Martin earlier in the week, as well as a defensive tackle, which is interesting considering the presumable need for more pressure from the edge.
