Buccaneers Mock Draft Monday envisions a defense-heavy haul across seven rounds: A.J. Harris, Whit Weeks, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Zachariah Branch, Luke Altmeyer, Marlin Klein and Jeremiah Wright. The plan targets LB, edge, TE, DL and interior OL, betting that a playmaking defense can anchor TB’s ceiling.

Week 1 vs. Atlanta underscores TB's needs in the secondary and pass rush, making corner upgrades and a deeper front seven ideal for fantasy-friendly exposure and a stronger overall roster outlook for 2026.
