The big day is almost here. We are officially two weeks away from kicking off the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh on April 23rd. Since January (and earlier), media members and draft experts alike have been taking their shot at predicting where the NCAA's best will call home. If we have learned anything from years past, mock drafts are fickle beings. It seems every year, we all stare dumbfounded at our screens when a team reaches for a player, drafting them earlier than their expected slot. Fans are always shocked when teams deviate from the online consensus, inducing second-guessing well into September.

Every April, general managers remind us that their draft boards look nothing like ours. No matter how much research you do ahead of time, the unpredictability of the draft is its calling card. Despite the meticulous work writers put into curating their mocks, the best only seem to average 35 to 40 percent in the first round. That is only 11 to 12 prospects tabbed correctly. If you are able to accurately pencil in one-third of teams' selections, that is an excellent clip. When it comes to draft night surprises, the regular season has a way of silencing every doubt and answering every question. At its core, a mock draft is a love letter from those who adore the draft and enjoy the process.

As I approached my final mock of the offseason, I decided I wanted to have some fun of my own. Just as Senior Writer/Editor Scott Smith and Staff Writer/Reporter Brianna Dix predicted all of the Bucs' picks in their latest mock drafts, I will follow suit, but with a new wrinkle. Not only will I be listing out all of Tampa Bay's selections, I will also be filling all the gaps in-between. All seven rounds, all 257 picks.

I relied on multiple reputable draft boards while balancing team need and overall talent. For this experiment, I decided to stay away from trades to streamline my decision-making. I will break down every first-round pick, the first selection of teams drafting outside of Round One and every player Tampa Bay brings aboard. Following Round Two, I will give the main takeaways from the previous section, providing more color to the alternate dimension I have built.

Got it? Good. Let's get started! I have seven rounds to go through.

Bucs Picks: No. 15, No. 46, No. 77, No. 116, No. 155, No. 195, No. 229

Jump To: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, Final Results

ROUND ONE

1. Las Vegas Raiders: QB Fernando Mendoza, Indiana

The Raiders recently signed Kirk Cousins, giving Fernando Mendoza a seasoned mentor to learn from in his rookie year. Whether Mendoza starts Day One or sits behind Cousins, the guidance of a veteran presence should accelerate his development.

2. New York Jets: EDGE Arvell Reese, Ohio State

Arvell Reese provides immense versatility as Aaron Glenn builds the defense in his own image. Reese will keep offenses on their toes every snap he is on the field.

3. Arizona Cardinals: T Francis Mauigoa, Miami

Every good rebuild starts in the trenches. Arizona finds their tackle duo of the future in Paris Johnson Jr. and Francis Mauigoa.

4. Tennessee Titans: RB Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame

This pick seems to be all too common in mock drafts nowadays, but you cannot argue the logic. Jeremiyah Love might be the best player in this draft and he offers immediate support for Cam Ward in his second year.

5. New York Giants: LB Sonny Styles, Ohio State

John Harbaugh begins his tenure in the Big Apple by plucking Sonny Styles away from any team praying that the Buckeye will fall. Since 2009, 29 inside linebackers have been drafted in the first round. Only four have signed a second contract with the team that originally drafted them (Brian Cushing, Luke Kuechly, Dont'a Hightower, Leighton Vander Esch). Styles is sure to be the fifth.

6. Cleveland Browns: T Monroe Freeling, Georgia

Cleveland invested heavily in the offensive line in free agency this offseason. That does not dissuade them from selecting Monroe Freeling sixth overall. Freeling was one of the top performers in Indianapolis, posting a 9.99u RAS (relative athletic score) at the NFL Scouting Combine. It was the highest among all offensive linemen.

7. Washington Commanders: EDGE David Bailey, Texas Tech

Dan Quinn is thrilled David Bailey is still on the board. The Commanders get what many believe to be the best edge rusher in the draft.

8. New Orleans Saints: WR Carnell Tate, Ohio State

Carnell Tate is paired with another former Buckeye in Chris Olave, giving Tyler Shough two excellent options at wideout.

9. Kansas City Chiefs: TE Kenyon Sadiq, Oregon

Kansas City looks ahead to life without Travis Kelce. Kenyon Sadiq is the complete package at tight end.

10. Cincinnati Bengals: EDGE Rueben Bain Jr., Miami

After moving on from Trey Hendrickson, Cincinnati reloads with Rueben Bain Jr. He is a powerful rusher that is poised to make an impact early in his career.

11. Miami Dolphins: CB Mansoor Delane, LSU

Mansoor Delane absolutely showed out during his Pro Day. Miami benefits from offensive linemen going early, allowing them to land Delane at No. 11.

12. Dallas Cowboys: S Caleb Downs, Ohio State

Surprisingly enough, Caleb Downs has become one of the more polarizing prospects in this year's class. The national media loves Downs. Many have him as the best player in the entire draft. However, he has continuously trickled down mock drafts due to perceived positional value or caution regarding his knee. Regardless of the reason, the slide stops now. Safety is not necessarily a need for the Cowboys in 2026, but the choice is clear in Jerry's World.

13. Los Angeles Rams (via Atlanta): WR Omar Cooper Jr., Indiana

Omar Cooper Jr. is a big, strong option downfield and is just what Sean McVay needs to capitalize on the Rams' championship window with MVP Matthew Stafford.

14. Baltimore Ravens: T Spencer Fano, Utah

Near the end of the combine, Spencer Fano decided to take reps at center, showcasing his versatility on the offensive line. Baltimore turns to the Utah native to fill the void left by Tyler Linderbaum, who became the highest-paid interior offensive lineman in the NFL after signing with Las Vegas.

15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: EDGE Keldric Faulk, Auburn

Highland Home, Alabama | Junior | 6'6 | 276 lbs

The Buccaneers have been hunting for more firepower off the edge and they find it at No. 15 with Keldric Faulk. At 6-foot-6, the man is built like a problem and his ceiling is as high as anyone's in this draft.

The narrative around Faulk seems to revolve around his dip in production from 2024 to 2025. His sophomore year, he was able to amass seven sacks and 11 tackles for loss, cementing himself as one of nation's most promising pass rushers at just 19 years old. Last season, the team captain played a more unselfish role within Auburn's scheme, leading to a reduction in his output. Despite this, he still earned third-team All-SEC honors and led the team with four pass breakups. Faulk is way more than the box score suggests.

Faulk is one of the youngest prospects in this year's draft class. At just 20 years old, he is already NFL-ready in terms of size and technique. His reach lets him disrupt blockers before they can ever get set, tilting the play in his favor from the jump. He also was one of the nation's best rush defenders, swiping off offensive linemen like they were ragdolls. Faulk is not just a pick for 2026, he's an investment for the next decade and one that will surely pay off for the Buccaneers.

16. New York Jets (via Indianapolis): WR Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State

The Jets love the way Jordyn Tyson approaches the game and is happy to add him to their wide receiver room.

17. Detroit Lions: G Olaivavega Ioane, Penn State

The Lions needed help on the line of scrimmage and the best pure guard in the draft fell right into their lap. I hope he likes kneecaps.

18. Minnesota Vikings: S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Toledo

Emmanuel McNeil-Warren is what Brian Flores looks for in his safeties: rangy, instinctive and not afraid to get their hands dirty. McNeil-Warren is just that.

19. Carolina Panthers: WR Makai Lemon, USC

This is almost a no-brainer for Carolina. The Panthers invested heavily in their defense, giving sizable contracts to Jaelan Phillips and Devin Lloyd. They now turn their attention to the offense during the draft, nabbing one the class's top pass-catchers at No. 19.

20. Dallas Cowboys (via Green Bay): CB Jermod McCoy, Tennessee

Dallas adds to their secondary again with the selection of Jermod McCoy. Sure, the Cowboys brought in defensive backs Jalen Thompson and Cobie Durant in free agency, but giving up the most passing yards in the league last season has a way of changing your priorities.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers: QB Ty Simpson, Alabama

Ty Simpson's combine performance was good enough to lock him in as a late first-round pick and Pittsburgh is not going to let him slip away. The Aaron Rodgers situation adds an interesting layer. If Aaron Rodgers reunites with Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh, Simpson gets the luxury of learning behind a veteran. If not, he has the intangibles and makeup to find success in his rookie season. Either way, the Steelers believe they got their guy.

22. Los Angeles Chargers: T Kadyn Proctor, Alabama

Jim Harbaugh sees Kadyn Proctor's build and envisions a future Pro-Bowl guard. Proctor will bolster the offensive line alongside Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt.

23. Philadelphia Eagles: S Dillon Thieneman, Oregon

In three seasons, Dillon Thieneman racked up 306 tackles, 10.0 tackles for loss and eight interceptions. He will bring the same instinct and athleticism to the City of Brotherly Love.

24. Cleveland Browns (via Jacksonville): WR Denzel Boston, Washington

The Browns passed on a wide receiver earlier in the first round. Now, they capitalize with the selection of Denzel Boston. At 6-foot-4, Boston is a mismatch nightmare in the red zone and exactly the kind of target the Dawg Pound can rally behind.

25. Chicago Bears: EDGE Akheem Mesidor, Miami

The Bears add an experienced pass rusher to their line with a track record of production. Despite being one of the older prospects in the draft, Akheem Mesidor will be able to step in and contribute right away.

26. Buffalo Bills: LB C.J. Allen, Georgia

C.J. Allen is the type of player who makes everyone around him better. He is a natural leader whose presence will be felt as much in the locker room as on the field.

27. San Francisco 49ers: EDGE T.J. Parker, Clemson

T.J. Parker's versatility along the defensive line makes him a headache for offensive coordinators. Whether he is lined up inside or kicking out to the edge, his ability to disrupt is impossible to ignore.

28. Houston Texans: G Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon

Emmanuel Pregnon is an automatic plug-and-play guard that will significantly help Houston's ability to run the ball.

29. Kansas City Chiefs (via LA Rams): CB Avieon Terrell, Clemson

With Trent McDuffie heading to Los Angeles, the Chiefs look to Avieon Terrell to make plays as early as Day One.

30. Miami Dolphins (via Denver): T Caleb Lomu, Utah

The Dolphins use their second selection to help protect new signal-caller Malik Willis. Caleb Lomu is a poised, athletic tackle who controls rushers at the point of contact, breaking defenders' spirits to win reps.

31. New England Patriots: T Max Iheanachor, Arizona St.

Max Iheanachor has all the traits to blossom into a great offensive tackle. Mike Vrabel and Co. will help him reach his potential.

32. Seattle Seahawks: EDGE Cashius Howell, Texas A&M

If Cashius Howell knows how to do one thing, it is how to get in the quarterback's face. Seattle rolls the dice on the promising edge rusher late in the first round, betting his relentless motor translates to the next level.

ROUND TWO

33. New York Jets: CB Chris Johnson, San Diego State

34: Arizona Cardinals: DL Kayden McDonald, Ohio State

35. Tennessee Titans: EDGE Zion Young, Missouri

36. Las Vegas Raiders: T Blake Miller, Clemson

37. New York Giants: WR KC Concepcion, Texas A&M

38. Houston Texans (via Washington): DL Peter Woods, Clemson

39. Cleveland Browns: CB Colton Hood, Tennessee

40. Kansas City Chiefs: DL Lee Hunter, Texas Tech

41. Cincinnati Bengals: LB Jacob Rodriguez, Texas Tech

42. New Orleans Saints: DL Caleb Banks, Florida

43. Miami Dolphins: TE Eli Stowers, Vanderbilt

44. New York Jets (via Dallas): CB D'Angelo Ponds, Indiana

45. Baltimore Ravens: WR Germie Bernard, Alabama

46. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: LB Jake Golday, Cincinnati

Arlington, Tennessee | R-Senior | 6'4 ^1/2 | 239 lbs

Jake Golday brings rare size and athleticism to the linebacker position, giving Tampa Bay a versatile weapon in the middle of their defense. Cincinnati deployed Golday all over the field, lining him up everywhere from the slot to the defensive line. He does his best work lurking near the line of scrimmage and should be utilized beautifully in Todd Bowles' system.

In 2025, Golday capped off his best collegiate season by leading the Bearcats with 105 tackles and earning first-team All-Big 12 honors. Before arriving in Cincinnati, he spent three seasons at Central Arkansas alongside the Buccaneers' 2025 fourth-round pick David Walker. Golday's discipline is defined by his character. He has not committed a penalty since the 2021 season and served as a weight room captain for the Bearcats. Golday would be an excellent addition to the front seven in 2026.

47. Indianapolis Colts: EDGE Malachi Lawrence, UCF

Laiatu Latu has lived up to the hype in his first two seasons and the Colts are itching to add another exciting pass rusher. Malachi Lawrence is explosive off the edge, always ready to put the quarterback on the turf.

48. Atlanta Falcons: CB Brandon Cisse, South Carolina

The value is too good to pass up here. Brandon Cisse is a promising young corner who loves man-to-man. This is an absolute steal for Atlanta at No. 48.

49. Minnesota Vikings: DL Christen Miller, Georgia

50. Detroit Lions: G Keylan Rutledge, Georgia Tech

51. Carolina Panthers: TE Max Klare, Ohio State

52. Green Bay Packers: G Gennings Dunker, Iowa

With Elgton Jenkins and Rasheed Walker departing in free agency, the Packers see great potential in selecting the icon who is Gennings Dunker. Dunker is a no-nonsense blocker with a great frame who excels in the run game.

53. Pittsburgh Steelers: G Chase Bisontis, Texas A&M

54. Philadelphia Eagles: EDGE R Mason Thomas, Oklahoma

55. Los Angeles Chargers: WR Chris Bell, Louisville

56. Jacksonville Jaguars: LB Anthony Hill Jr., Texas

The Jaguars reload their front seven with Anthony Hill Jr. The linebacker is a violent thumper, flying to ball carriers with bad intentions. If he can hold up in coverage, Hill has every-down potential and could become the cornerstone of this defense for years to come.

57. Chicago Bears: S A.J. Haulcy, LSU

58. San Francisco 49ers: CB Keith Abney II, Arizona State

59. Houston Texans: RB Jadarian Price, Notre Dame

60. Chicago Bears (via Buffalo): C Jake Slaughter, Florida

61. Los Angeles Rams: S Keionte Scott, Miami

62. Denver Broncos: EDGE Gabe Jacas, Illinois

Denver keeps building one of the AFC's most feared defenses with the addition of Gabe Jacas. The Illinois product is an aggressive, technically sound pass rusher who can win with power or finesse.

63. New England Patriots: LB Josiah Trotter, Missouri

64. Seattle Seahawks: CB Treydan Stukes, Arizona

SECOND-ROUND TAKEAWAYS

• The Jets double-dipped at cornerback, taking San Diego State's Johnson and Indiana's Ponds. Glenn's defense recorded zero interceptions last season, a number that figures to change with these new additions.

• Interior defensive linemen were nowhere to be found through the first 33 picks. Arizona finally broke the seal with McDonald, then three more came off the board in the next 15.

• The Panthers add another weapon to their offense in Ohio State's Klare. Bryce Young is somewhere out there smiling.

• Detroit is not messing around, drafting back-to-back guards to start off the 2026 NFL Draft. With David Montgomery now in H-Town, they want to open as many lanes for Jahmyr Gibbs as possible.

• The second running back has come off the board at No. 59 to the Texans, five picks before the Seahawks second selection. Seattle has been rumored to be interested in finding a replacement for Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker. Looks like they will have to wait another round.

• The Bears have found their replacement for Drew Dalman. Slaughter is expected to be a third-to-fourth round pick but Chicago nabs near at the end of the second round.

ROUND THREE

65. Arizona Cardinals: EDGE Derrick Moore, Michigan

66. Tennessee Titans: WR Antonio Williams, Clemson

67. Las Vegas Raiders: WR Elijah Sarratt, Indiana

68. Philadelphia Eagles (via NY Jets): T Caleb Tiernan, Northwestern

69. Houston Texans (via NY Giants): C Connor Lew, Auburn

70. Cleveland Browns: QB Garrett Nussmeier, LSU

71. Washington Commanders: WR Skyler Bell, UConn

72. Cincinnati Bengals: DL Gracen Halton, Oklahoma

73. New Orleans Saints: EDGE Dani Dennis-Sutton, Penn State

74. Kansas City Chiefs: EDGE Max Llewellyn, Iowa

75. Miami Dolphins: EDGE Romello Height, Texas Tech

76. Pittsburgh Steelers (via Dallas): RB Mike Washington Jr., Arkansas

77. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: TE Sam Roush, Stanford

Nashville, Tennessee | Senior | 6'6 | 267 lbs

You do not often see tight ends as athletic as Sam Roush revel in the art of blocking. Roush is your prototypical Y tight end, a technically sound, physical presence who lines up attached to the offensive line and takes pride in winning at the point of attack. Although he has immense value at the line of scrimmage, the upside to him as a pass-catcher is tantalizing.

Roush totaled the second-most receiving yards (545) and caught two touchdowns for Stanford in 2025. His worth was on full display at the combine, opening eyes to his potential at the next level. With a background in rugby, Roush loves to prove he is the most physical player on the field. Pair Roush with Cade Otton in two tight-end sets and Zac Robinson suddenly has one of the most versatile personnel groupings in the NFC, capable of overwhelming defenses both in the run game and down the field. That sounds like music to Baker Mayfield's ears.

78. Indianapolis Colts: WR Bryce Lance, North Dakota State

79. Atlanta Falcons: DL Domonique Orange, Iowa State

80. Baltimore Ravens: DL Darrell Jackson Jr., Florida State

81. Jacksonville Jaguars (via Detroit): TE Oscar Delp, Georgia

82. Minnesota Vikings: WR Zachariah Branch, Georgia

83. Carolina Panthers: C Sam Hecht, Kansas State

84. Green Bay Packers: CB Malik Muhammad, Texas

85. Pittsburgh Steelers: T Markel Bell, Miami

86. Los Angeles Chargers: DL Rayshaun Benny, Michigan

87. Miami Dolphins (via Philadelphia): S Kamari Ramsey, USC

88. Jacksonville Jaguars: EDGE LT Overton, Alabama

89. Chicago Bears: WR Malachi Fields, Notre Dame

90. Miami Dolphins (via Houston): C Logan Jones, Iowa

91. Buffalo Bills: WR Deion Burks, Oklahoma

92. Dallas Cowboys (via San Francisco): EDGE Jaishawn Barham, Michigan

93. Los Angeles Rams: T Dametrious Crownover, Texas A&M

94. Miami Dolphins (via Denver): G Jalen Farmer, Kentucky

95. New England Patriots: WR Ted Hurst, Georgia State

96. Seattle Seahawks: RB Emmett Johnson, Nebraska

97. Minnesota Vikings: RB Jonah Coleman, Washington

98. Philadelphia Eagles: LB Kyle Louis, Pittsburgh

99. Pittsburgh Steelers: S Genesis Smith, Arizona

100. Jacksonville Jaguars (via Detroit): CB Devin Moore, Florida

THIRD-ROUND TAKEAWAYS

• Arizona continues loading up the trenches, adding an offensive lineman, a defensive lineman and an edge rusher. Moore, a standout at Michigan and at the Senior Bowl, looks primed for an immediate impact at the next level.

• The Raiders reunite the Heisman Trophy winner with one of his favorite targets, selecting Sarratt with the 67th pick.

• Cleveland signals a new era by selecting a quarterback in the third round. Nussmeier impressed throughout the draft process and will compete with the Browns' other young quarterbacks for the starting job.

• The Dolphins made the most of their four third-round selections, all of whom should contribute in 2026. The most intriguing of the bunch is Texas Tech's Height at No. 75, who brings six years of college experience to the defensive line.

• One cannot simply replace DJ Moore, but the Bears believe Fields can give secondaries fits in the endzone.

• The Seahawks and Vikings each found a running back on consecutive picks late in the third round. Johnson and Coleman are among the draft's best at the position and represent tremendous value at this stage of Day Two.

114. Philadelphia Eagles (via Atlanta): WR Brenen Thompson, Mississippi State

115. Baltimore Ravens: CB Daylen Everette, Georgia

116. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: LB Jimmy Rolder, Michigan

Orchard Park, Illinois | R-Junior | 6'2 ^1/2 | 238 lbs

Jimmy Rolder has been steadily rising up draft boards and the Buccaneers call his name at No. 116. Rolder was just a one-year starter at Michigan, but plays with the instinct and poise of a seasoned vet.

Rolder plays fast, getting to the ball carrier in a hurry and rarely never misses when he arrives. He finished 2025 as the Wolverines' leading tackler (73) and earned second-team All-Big Ten honors for his efforts. Scouts have raved about his character, and his full-throttle effort on special teams only adds to his value as an early roster contributor.

117. Las Vegas Raiders (via Minnesota): DL Kaleb Proctor, Southeastern Louisiana

118. Detroit Lions: T Travis Burke, Memphis

119. Carolina Panthers: EDGE Wesley Williams, Duke

120. Green Bay Packers: LB Deontae Lawson, Alabama

137. Philadelphia Eagles: T Diego Pounds, Ole Miss

138. San Francisco 49ers: WR Josh Cameron, Baylor

139. San Francisco 49ers: DL DeMonte Capehart, Clemson

140. New York Jets: TE Will Kacmarek, Ohio State

FOURTH-ROUND TAKEAWAYS

• More quarterbacks came off the board early on Day Three. The Jets took Allar, betting on his size and arm strength to translate to the pro game, while the Cardinals went with Cole Payton, whose dual-threat potential caught the eye of Mike LaFleur. Both will have the opportunity to learn under veterans to start their careers.

• Kansas City and Philadelphia both add high-ceiling pass-catchers to their roster. Stribling, who is known as one of the best route-runners of the class, is headed to Arrowhead while the speedy-Thompson books his ticket to Philly.

• Every draft has its FCS darling, and this year it's Southeastern Louisiana's Proctor. His relentless motor and passion for the game made him a fan favorite throughout the process and Las Vegas believes those traits carry over on Sundays.

• The Lions take yet another offensive lineman in Round Four. I doubt think anyone in Detroit will complain after losing Frank Ragnow, Taylor Decker and Graham Glasgow in the span of one year.

154. Baltimore Ravens: EDGE Caden Curry, Ohio State

155. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: CB Hezekiah Masses, California

Deerfield Beach, Florida | Senior | 6'1 | 179 lbs

Hezekiah Masses is play-making incarnate. He led the Golden Bears with 13 passes defensed and five interceptions in 2025. His coverage awareness and footwork lead to him getting the ball back to the offense. Despite not having the biggest frame, he uses his height and vertical to bully receivers at the catch point to ruin their routes. If Masses can clean up his penalties, the tools are there for him to develop into a solid contributor in the NFL.

179. New York Jets: TE Nate Boerkircher, Texas A&M

180. Dallas Cowboys: RB Le'Veon Moss, Texas A&M

181. Detroit Lions: QB Taylen Green, Arkansas

FIFTH-ROUND TAKEAWAYS

• The Colts select Fisher with pick No. 156. The National Champion stays home after winning it all with the Hoosiers back in January.

• Caldwell absolutely balled out at the combine. He links up with Liam Coen and Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville.

• Two more quarterbacks go off the board. Beck slots in as Jalen Hurts's backup in Philadelphia, while Green's athleticism heads to the Motor City.

194. Tennessee Titans (via Baltimore): C Matt Gulbin, Michigan State

195. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: S Jalen Huskey, Maryland

Frederick, Maryland | Senior | 6'1 | 196 lbs

The Buccaneers decide to go out and add another ballhawk to their secondary, this time calling upon Maryland's Jalen Huskey. Speed was never Huskey's calling card, but his ability to read the play before it develops has led to multiple turnovers. The team captain has brought in 11 interceptions within the past three years and was a second-team All-Big Ten selection in 2025. He could develop his ability to keep his balance and keep his pursuit in the run game.

SIXTH-ROUND TAKEAWAYS

• The first kicker comes off the board to the Saints at No. 190. Smack's field goal percentage stood at 81.8 percent, going five-for-six from 50-plus yards in 2025. His career long stands at 56 yards.

• The Ravens land a steal at tight end, selecting Bentley late in the sixth round. He began his college career at Snow College in Utah before transferring to the Utes, where he developed into a reliable target in Kyle Whittingham's offense. The Ravens also picked up Endries in the previous round. Two very talented tight ends are on their way to Baltimore.

Dallas, Texas | Sixth-Year Senior | 6'6 | 314 lbs

Ar'maj Reed-Adams is a passionate competitor who specializes in blocking the run. With his mass and wingspan, Reed-Adams has the measurements you would want in an NFL guard. The team captain also has significant starting experience, seeing snaps at both guard and tackle positions. His range and leverage consistency will limit his ceiling as a starter, but his versatility across the offensive line makes him the kind of depth piece Tampa Bay will need heading into next season.
