Oh, hi! You're back. I assume that, after clicking on this link, you immediately scrolled down to pick number 19 to see who the Bucs took before returning to the top. Were you pleased, or at least intrigued? Or did you scoff at my mid-February prediction? Either way is fine; that's why mock drafts exist, and proliferate more rapidly than rabbits. If you did scoff, it may be because I did not have the Buccaneers picking a quarterback. That consideration obviously took on much more life after Tom Brady announced on the first day of this month that he was hanging up the cleats. With Blaine Gabbert headed towards free agency, the Buccaneers have exactly one quarterback under contract for 2023 at the moment. That's 2021 second-round pick Kyle Trask, and wherever you fall on the question of whether Trask will be Brady's successor, there is still plenty of work to be done at the position. As such, we can't ignore the possibility that the Bucs will be one of the team's QB hunting in the first round in April. As of this moment, however, I think not, and my reasoning is below. I do think that, like many a draft season, the quarterbacks are going to be the overwhelming story of the first round this year, particularly in how the top 10 fall out. For our first two Buccaneers.com 2023 Mock Drafts – Staff Writer/Reporter Brianna Dix and are going to be alternating weeks – however, we are refraining from predicting any trades, so we won't be getting into how those QBs will make some teams jockey for position at the top of the order.
