2022 NFL Draft: Tampa Bay Buccaneers selection tracker
This weekend is an opportunity for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to continue moving towards contending for a championship in 2022. Through two days, the Buccaneers have addressed needs on both sides of the ball. The franchise selected defensive end Logan Hall and offensive lineman Luke Goedeke in the second round before adding running back Rachaad White in the third round.

Heading into Saturday, the Buccaneers have four picks (No. 106, No. 133, No. 248, No. 261) remaining after giving up a sixth-round selection they had previously acquired from Jacksonville in the move to trade up for Goedeke. Like Friday, Tampa Bay will lead off to begin rounds four through seven.
There are still holes to fill in the defensive backfield and at tight end. It also wouldn't be surprising for the franchise to target a linebacker or wide receiver depending on the best available players at the time of their selections.

BucsGameday will be tracking each of Tampa Bay's draft picks through the weekend as well as providing background information, stats, measurables, comparisons, and more.
- Logan Hall, Defensive End
Round/Overall Pick: Round 2/No. 33 overall
College: Houston
Measurables: 6-foot-6, 283-pounds, 32 3/4-inch arms, 9 5/8-inch hands
Career Stats: 97 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, 1 forced fumble
Combine Numbers: 4.88 40-yard dash, 4.44-second shuttle, 7.25-second three-cone, 30-inch vertical jump
Scout's Outlook: "Hard-working, two-year starter with projectable frame and developmental traits whose best positional fit could be in the eye of the beholder. Hall played defensive tackle in college, but his playing style and physical profile are better suited for defensive end in a 3-4 alignment. He's segmented and a little gradual in his attack, but flashes violent hands and forward charge as an interior rusher. Improvement lies ahead for Hall, but he needs a scheme fit and extended runway as a rotational lineman." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
NFL Comparison: Jalyn Holmes
- Luke Goedeke, Offensive Tackle
Round/Overall Pick: Round 2/No. 57 overall
College: Central Michigan
Measurables: 6-foot-5, 312-pounds, 32 1/4-inch arms, 9 3/4-inch hands
Career Stats: 24 starts
Combine Numbers: 26 bench-press reps
Scout's Outlook: "Tight end turned tackle whose final landing spot could be at guard due to a lack of necessary length. Goedeke is a rancorous run blocker with a talent for rooting opponents off the spot. He balances a surly field demeanor with above-average technique and frequently sustains and finishes the block like an NFL veteran. He has put the time in to build out his frame but shorter arms will offer matchup challenges from time to time. Goedeke had a strong 2021 season against modest competition, but his strengths profile well as a good starter with the ability to make an impact sooner rather than later." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
NFL Comparison: Connor McGovern
- Rachaad White, Running Back
Round/Overall Pick: Round 3/No. 91 overall
College: Arizona State
Measurables: 6-foot-0, 214-pounds, 31 1/4-inch arms, 9 3/4-inch hands
Career Stats: 224 rushes, 1420 yards, 20 touchdowns, 51 catches, 607 yards, 2 touchdowns
Combine Numbers: 4.48 40-yard dash, 38-inch vertical jump, 12-foot-5-inch broad-jump
Scout's Outlook: "Running back with size and senior year production, but the tape is more average than exciting. White is a tight-hipped runner lacking desired lateral agility and burst after changing direction. He has a tendency to be slowed or stopped by first-level tacklers but is a more natural runner once he gets up to the second level. He fails to show enough creativity to escape the "gets what is blocked" tag, but he does run with adequate vision. His lack of breakaway speed and limited special teams background won't help his chances, so he needs to shine early in camp to give himself an opportunity to make a team as a RB3." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
Cade Otton, Tight End
Round/Overall Pick: Round 4/No. 106 overall
College: Washington
Measurables: 6-foot-5, 247-pounds, 32 3/4-inch arms, 9 1/2-inch hands
Career Stats: 91 catches, 1026 yards, 9 touchdowns
Combine Numbers: N/A
Scout's Outlook: "Four-year starter who will be next up from a program with a history of turning out NFL talent at tight end. Otton is an instinctive route-runner with agile feet in tight quarters and a great feel for changing speeds inside the route. He has sudden, reliable hands, and is skilled and athletic enough to shine against man or zone coverages. As with all UW tight ends, Otton was expected to block for the run game and did so with adequate technique. He will need to bolster his play strength and aggression levels to better execute his blocking itinerary at the next level. He's an ascending combination tight end with starting talent. He should become a more productive pro than college player as a likely Day 2 selection." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
Jake Camarda, Punter
Round/Overall Pick: Round 4/No. 135 overall
College: Georgia
Measurables: 6-foot-1, 193-pounds, 30 1/2-inch arms, 9 1/2-inch hands
Career Stats: 45.8 average yards per punt
Combine Numbers: 4.56 40-yard dash
Scout's Outlook: "Highly decorated four-year punter with kickoff ability to boot. Camarda has NFL operation time and leg strength but was a little inconsistent hitting the football in 2021. He's an accurate directional punter with touch but hasn't learned to control nose-down punts, which has led to touchbacks after the bounce. He's no lock for a spot but should be in contention to earn a job within the first two years." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
Zyon McCollum, Cornerback
Round/Overall Pick: Round 5/No. 157 overall
College: Sam Houston State
Measurables: 6-foot-2, 199-pounds, 30 3/4-inch arms, 9-inch hands
Career Stats: 205 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 13 interceptions, 54 pass deflections, 6 forced fumbles
Combine Numbers: 4.33 40-yard dash, 3.94-second shuttle, 6.48-second three-cone (fastest time ever at combine), 39.5-inch vertical, 13-foot-2-inch broad-jump
Scout's Outlook: "Ball-hawking FCS cornerback with outstanding combination of size and athletic traits for the next level. McCollum is big and plays with good physicality in coverage but his footwork to match the release and phase the route tend to stand out. He is instinctive and has great ball skills at the catch-point but there is room for improvement playing downfield throws. His play speed is good but he might not have the instant juice to prevent being stacked on vertical routes from press. He can press or play all forms of zone and has early special-teams value as he transitions into the pros." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
Ko Kieft, Tight End
Round/Overall Pick: Round 6/No. 218 overall
College: Minnesota
Measurables: 6-foot-5, 265-pounds, 33-inch arms, 9 1/2-inch hands
Career Stats: 49 games played, 12 catches, 166 yards, 2 touchdowns
Pro-Day Numbers: 21 bench-press reps, 32-inch vertical
Andre Anthony, Defensive End
Round/Overall Pick: Round 7/No. 248 overall
College: LSU
Measurables: 6-foot-3, 245-pounds, 33 5/8-inch arms, 9 3/4-inch hands
Career Stats: 55 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 10.5 sacks
Pro-Day Numbers: 4.63 40-yard dash, 21 bench-press reps
