With a 2026 NFL draft just three weeks away on April 23rd through 25th, the Buccaneers sit at 15th overall, prepping for a pivotal weekend. This draft class looks thin on elite top-end talent, but packs depth and solid prospects across key spots.

Day three heats up with Georgia TE, Oscar Delp in round four for Deft behind Cade Otten, Iowa. IOL boasts Stevens in round five to fix the guard. Kerasso, Texas Tech WR Reggie Virgil in round six as a big body Mike Evans replacement type, and Duke D.T. Aaron Hall in round seven for front seven. These picks build depth without trading down, nailing athletic traits. Bucks Nation, this mock shakes off the board with fresh names, staying true to Lycht's
