Bucs Draft: Linebacker, Edge Rusher, Guard, Tight End Up for Grabs

0:00On April 3rd, Tampa Bay Buccaneers got major holes to fill in the 2026 NFL draft, even after grabbing some free agents. They need depth at linebacker, edge rusher, guard and tied in, and might bring in rookies to push current guys on the roster. Inside linebacker, Servo Sayedennis, faces stiff competition already. The team signed Betts Alex Anzalone and Christian Roseboom, with Anzalone locked as a starter. Check the Bucks to grab another inside backer early, squeezing Dennis out of real starting shots and cam. Over on the edge, second round pick, Chris Braswell bombed out with zero starts in 34 games, just 48 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Over two years, longtime vet Anthony Nelson, in year 8, with 21.5 career sacks, might see his role shrink too if they draft fresh blood. Guard Ben Bredeson just got a two-year extension, and coaches love his versatility, but a second round lineman type could still challenge him for a starting spot.

Head coach Todd Bowles and GM Jason Lyck keep eyeing upgrades, so these spots stay wide open as the draft nears. Bucks building smart, staying hungry.
