Buccaneers’ 2022 NFL Draft Picks: Who Tampa Bay Took Each Round

The Bucs have a couple of question marks on both sides of the ball that could be addressed in this year’s draft.

The Buccaneers had quite the offseason in recent months, from Tom Brady having the shortest retirement in recorded history to coach Bruce Arians blindsiding the NFL world by calling it a career. It will be a welcome change of pace for Tampa to add some youth who will most likely not retire any time soon. 

New coach Todd Bowles, the team’s former defensive coordinator, may be inclined to bolster the team on the defensive side of the ball in the 2022 draft. Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh’s status for next season is up in the air at the moment, and the team struggled throughout the season with injures to its secondary. 

Some fresh meat on the defensive line along with some depth at both safety and cornerback could be areas that need to be addressed. Offensively, Chris Godwin’s season-ending ACL injury left a hole on Tampa’s offense, and tight end Rob Gronkowski hasn’t officially decided if he’s going to retire or not.

The Buccaneers are well poised to make yet another playoff run with Brady under center, but they could use some depth and youth on both sides of the ball. Here is how the Buccaneers’ draft has turned out thus far (to be updated during NFL draft):

• Round 2, Pick 33: Logan Hall, DT, Houston
• Round 2, Pick 57 (from Bills): Luke Goedeke, OT, Central Michigan
• Round 3, Pick 91: Rachaad White, RB, Arizona State
• Round 4, Pick 106 (from Jaguars): Cade Otton, TE, Washington
• Round 4, Pick 133: Jake Camarda, P, Georgia
• Round 5, Pick 157 (from Vikings via Jaguars): Zyon McCollum, CB, Sam Houston State
• Round 6, Pick 218 (from Rams): Ko Kieft, TE, Minnesota
• Round 7, Pick 248: Andre Anthony, DE, LSU
