The 2022 draft is finally here and the Buccaneers will be picking at no. 27 in the first round this year. Here's how to watch all of the action this weekend.

The Buccaneers have four of their seven 2021 draft picks under contract after fourth-round wide receiver Jaelon Darden signed his first NFL deal on Thursday

As they prepare to conduct rookie mini-camp, the Buccaneers have signed three of those rookies to their first NFL contracts, with 2021 Draft picks K.J. Britt, Chris Wilcox and Grant Stuard all inking deals

Now that the real thing has come and gone, how do analysts think the Bucs fared with their 2021 draft class?

New league rules allowed Joe Tryon to make a groundbreaking jersey number choice, and several other 2021 draftees could quickly become the most prominent Bucs in their respective jerseys

The Bucs had the luxury of targeting "wants" rather than "needs" in this year's draft and ended up with a seven-man class boasting a lot of speed, a chance to help immediately on special teams and a group of men with passion for the game

Tampa Bay has the luxury of taking its time with first-round pick Joe Tryon, but the 2021 first-round pick has speed, fluid movements and a high motor and could make his mark on the Bucs' defense early

The Buccaneers appreciated the journey Florida QB Kyle Trask took to the 2021 NFL Draft and thought he was a perfect fit for their system and their culture, making him the final pick of the second round

Tampa Bay bestowed the "Mr. Irrelevant" title on the linebacker out of Houston.

Tampa Bay drafted the BYU corner with their first pick of the seventh round.

The Bucs addressed a clear depth need at inside linebacker in the fifth round Saturday by selecting Auburn's K.J. Britt, a tough, physical and smart defender who can support Lavonte David, Devin White and Kevin Minter

Tampa Bay used its fifth-round pick to go back to defense and select linebacker K.J. Britt out of Auburn.

When and where have the Buccaneers found the most success with their seventh-round picks throughout franchise history?

QB Baker Mayfield, WR Mike Evans, LB Lavonte David, S Antoine Winfield Jr. & more need contracts to keep the core of the team intact. Watch as GM Jason Licht sets up "one of the best free agency hauls ever." In the Current is back for a historic 2024 season.

William Gholston, who has played in more games than any other defensive lineman in franchise history, signed a third straight one-year deal with the Buccaneers on Monday
