Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Round 1
Joe Tryon-Shoyinka
EDGE WashingtonTryon signed with the Huskies after landing on the Seattle Times’ All-State list as a senior at Hazen High School. As a redshirt freshman in 2018, he started two of 12 games played (20 tackles, two for loss, with one sack). Tryon became a leader on defense as a sophomore, garnering second-team All-Pac-12 accolades by posting 41 tackles, 12.5 for loss, with eight sacks in 13 games (12 starts). He opted out of the 2020 season. -- by Chad Reuter
Round 2
Kyle Trask
QB FloridaTrask was the backup quarterback behind D'Eriq King (who starred at Houston before transferring to Miami for 2020) at Manvel High School, but Florida coaches offered him a scholarship, anyway. He did not see much action his first three years with the Gators, redshirting in 2016, sitting out the 2017 season due to a foot injury and playing in four games as a reserve (14 of 22 for 162 yards, one TD) behind Feleipe Franks in 2018. In 2019, Franks was injured in the SEC opener against Kentucky, which opened the door for Trask to lead UF to a comeback win. He helped the team win eight of his 10 starts, completing 66.9 percent of his passes (237 of 354) for 2,941 yards and 25 touchdowns against seven interceptions (also scored four times with his legs). That success bred even more success in 2020, as he garnered Heisman Trophy and Davey O'Brien Award finalist honors as well as second-team All-SEC honors. He led the FBS with a school-record 43 passing touchdowns and ranked second with 356.9 passing yards per game (school-record 4,283 total) in 12 starts (301 of 437, 68.9% completion rate, eight INTs). Trask also ran for three touchdowns on the year. -- by Chad Reuter

Round 3
Robert Hainsey
OT Notre DameHainsey started the first eight games at right tackle for the Irish in 2019 before a fractured ankle cut his season short. He had earned that spot the previous two years as well, starting one of 13 games played as a true freshman after enrolling a semester early, and then all 13 contests in 2018. The 2020 second-team All-ACC selection was able to stay healthy throughout his senior season, starting all 12 games for the College Football Playoff participants. The Pittsburgh native was a four-star prospect and top-100 overall recruit for his play as a senior at IMG Academy prior to moving to South Bend. He accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl. -- by Chad Reuter

Round 4
Jaelon Darden
WR North TexasDarden was an all-district quarterback in the Houston area at Eisenhower High School, but from Day 1 at North Texas, his future at receiver was clear. He played in all 14 games as a backup during his true freshman campaign (32-281-8.8, three TD) while also contributing as a returner (16-295-18.4 on kickoffs; 10-119-11.9, one TD on punts). Darden mostly focused on offense in 2018 (48-575-12.0, four TDs receiving; 5-62-12.4 punt returns). He became the team's leading receiver as a junior (76-736-9.7, 12 TD; 16-108-6.8 punt returns), attaining first-team All-Conference USA accolades as a 12-game starter. Darden's game took a leap forward in 2020. He ranked second in the FBS with 19 receiving touchdowns, third with 132.2 receiving yards a game (1,190 total in nine starts), and seventh with 8.2 receptions per game (74, 16.1 per). The Associated Press voted him a second-team All-American and league coaches named him the C-USA Most Valuable Player and a first-team all-conference receiver. Darden is now North Texas' career leader in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. -- by Chad Reuter
Round 5
K.J. Britt
LB AuburnKenney "K.J." Britt was a four-star prospect and first-team all-state pick from Oxford, Alabama, before signing with the Tigers. He suited up for all 13 games of his true freshman season in 2017 (four tackles) and repeated that feat as a sophomore, though he received more playing time on defense (23 tackles, two for loss). Britt earned a starting job in 2019 and played well enough to garner second-team All-SEC honors (69 tackles, 10 for loss, 2.5 sacks, 12 starts in 13 games played). His senior season was cut short (23 tackles, one for loss, in two starts) due to a thumb injury, however. He accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl. -- by Chad Reuter
Round 7
Chris Wilcox
CB BYUWilcox started two games as a true freshman in 2016 (nine tackles in 10 appearances) and then five more the following year (32 tackles, five pass breakups in 12 games). Wilcox started the first nine games of the 2018 season (28 tackles, two for loss, two pass breakups) before suffering a season-ending ankle injury against Boise State. Another injury kept him out of all but one start in 2019 (one tackle), so he was eligible for a medical redshirt. Wilcox started nine games in 2020 for the Cougars (18 tackles, one pass breakup) before opting out of the Boca Raton Bowl to prepare for the NFL draft. -- by Chad Reuter
Grant Stuard
LB HoustonStuard was a two-time first-team All-District selection at Oak Ridge High School in Conroe, Texas. He saw action in seven games as a true freshman, missing time due to a torn meniscus. Stuard led the Cougars with 11 special teams tackles in 2018, making 30 stops overall (2.5 for loss) in 13 games (one start). He also stepped in at running back late in the year due to injuries at that position (five carries, 35 yards, 7.0 yards per carry). He garnered second-team All-AAC honors as a junior, his first year as a full-time starter. He led the team with 97 tackles, 9.5 for loss, and broke up four passes in 12 starts. Stuard was voted a first-team All-American Athletic Conference selection in 2020 with a team-high 61 tackles (five for loss) in just seven starts (he decided to sit out of the team's bowl game). He accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl. -- by Chad Reuter
