Notre Dame guard Quenton Nelson goes to Bucs in Mel Kiper’s mock draft

The NFL scouting combine begins this week in Indianapolis, which means draft boards will change based on the results of a player's performance. Also, expect nearly every player mentioned in the top 10 of the draft, minus quarterbacks, to be linked at some point with the Bucs.

Frankly, despite their obvious need for a pass rusher, general manager Jason Licht has to keep an open mind, because you never know which player will get pushed down to them at No. 7 — especially with as many as four quarterbacks and Penn State running back Saquon Barkley likely to be off the big board before the Bucs make their first selection.
