In 27 Days, 27 Picks, Bucs Wire will analyze the last 27 Tampa Bay Buccaneers first-round draft picks, one for each day leading up to the 2023 NFL draft. We’ll take a look at the player’s college stats, their pre-draft numbers (either via the NFL Combine or their Pro Day), their NFL stats, some player footage and analysis at the end on whether the pick itself was a good one.
The first pick from Tampa Bay in the 2012 NFL draft was safety Mark Barron, but the Bucs got to take another player at the end of the first round. That player would go on to get a first-team All-Pro with the Bucs and is still the team’s last 1000-yard rusher, but his tenure in Tampa Bay was marred with inconsistencies.
