Buccaneers updated 2026 NFL Draft order: Current 1st-round pick after Week 18

The Buccaneers’ season is over, and it’s time to look toward the future — including the draft. Now that the regular season is over, the Bucs’ first-round selection has been finalized.

The Bucs finished with an 8-9 record, which slots them in with the 14th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Elsewhere in the NFC South, the last-place Saints will be picking at No. 8. The Falcons also finished 8-9 after beating the Saints to finish off the season, and they would be picking at No. 13, right before the Bucs, if they hadn’t traded that pick to the Rams to trade back up into the first round for pass rusher James Pearce Jr. in the 2025 draft. The Panthers’ pick won’t be finalized until their playoff exit.

Here’s the updated 2026 draft order following Week 18.
