Bucs fans seem extremely pleased with the new addition to the offensive line

It’s not often that the overwhelming majority of Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans agree on something. Maybe it’s the split among college allegiances, maybe it’s the generational gap where there are varying philosophies on what makes a winner - but outside of the signing of Tom Brady, it’s hard to remember the last time this many Bucs fans all had such similar reactions to a move.

That said, the addition of interior offensive lineman Graham Barton out of Duke has Bucs fans feeling pretty good on Friday morning....

Here’s my take on what will happen Thursday. I’m prepared for your hatred.

You didn’t come here for intros, you came here for a mock draft that you’ll either love or hate. Let’s get right into it as the real 2024 NFL Draft looms!

1. Chicago Bears: QB Caleb Williams, Southern California

We all know what’s happening yet we’ll still wait the entirety of the clock to move on with our lives. My biggest pet peeve of the entire draft process.

2. Washington Commanders: QB Jayden Daniels, Louisiana State

Now, this pick is much more interesting, as it’s...

Final Buccaneers 7-Round 2024 NFL Mock Draft

Let’s take a final stab at the 2024 Bucs draft class before the fireworks start.

The Buccaneers find their roster in good overall shape entering the 2024 NFL Draft, which opens at 8 p.m. in Detroit.

It will be GM Jason Licht’s 11th at the controls, and pushing the right buttons can help sustain the best stretch of Bucs football since the early aughts. The team does have some holes to fill, so let’s take our best guess at how they might approach it all.

Buccaneers NFL Draft Target: Edge Dallas Turner, Alabama

Buccaneers NFL Draft Target: Edge Dallas Turner, Alabama

How are the Buccaneers going to get to the quarterback in 2024?

When asked, the average Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ fan would tell you the Bucs need to leave the 2024 NFL Draft with an edge rusher. Most would say the Buccaneers should address the need early rather than late.
