The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a ton of options they could explore in the 2019 NFL Draft. Here are their top first round candidates.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers weren’t the most active team in the 2019 free agency period, but they made a huge splash in January by hiring previously retired NFL head coach Bruce Arians.

Arians is expected to come in and be the quarterback whisperer Jameis Winston needs so desperately, but what will the Buccaneers do in the 2019 NFL Draft?

The Bucs have picks in every round except the sixth. Things could drastically change for them in this draft if they decide to move on from Gerald McCoy via trade.

Even picking fifth overall, the Buccaneers have a lot of different avenues they can explore. They are in prime range to pick someone who might fall out of the top four picks because of the Cardinals possibly taking Kyler Murray first overall, or they could be a prime spot for someone to trade up ahead of the Giants and take a quarterback.

Let’s explore some of the Buccaneers’ top options in Arians’ first year at the helm.
