The Tampa Bay Buccaneers entered Day 2 of the 2021 NFL draft in the most enviable of positions as a team with no glaring needs coming off a blowout win in the Super Bowl. Even Tampa's first-round pick (Washington edge-rusher Joe Tryon) was more about adding depth at a premium position than addressing a hole that needed to be filled ahead of their title defense.
Even so, a few eyebrows went up when Tampa general manager Jason Licht used the team's second-round pick to draft the sixth quarterback off the board in Florida's Kyle Trask. Critics argued that a Buccaneers team led by a 43-year-old quarterback and 68-year-old head coach should be all about living in the now.
