The Tampa Bay Buccaneers own the 32nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft after Tom Brady led them to their first Super Bowl win since February 2003. The NFL Draft is coming up, and the Bucs could go a few different ways with their pick. So what do you get the team that has everything?

Could Buccaneers look for Antonio Brown replacement?

Antonio Brown is more than likely out at slot receiver, and while Scotty Miller exploded last season, the Bucs could look to replenish their receiving corps with Elijah Moore.

Moore is undersized at 5-foot-9 and 184 pounds, but he more than makes up for it with elite route-running ability and body control. He can do anything an NFL team asks of him in space, and his hands are great in traffic. Despite his size, he can still go up and get the ball with ease.

Tom Brady would be lucky to get someone like Moore as a weapon in Tampa Bay’s high-powered offense.

Getting young along the defensive line a priority

The Buccaneers recently brought back Steve McClendon on a one-year deal to back up Vita Vea, but this shouldn’t stop them from taking a look at Christian Barmore if he’s available at pick 32.

Barmore boosted his stock with good play in the College Football Playoff, and his technique is underrated. Besides that, he’s versatile for his size (6-foot-5 and 310 pounds). The Buccaneers could move him to left or right end in their 3-4 defense if needed, even though I think he could be best used in relief of Vea in the middle.

Barmore wasn’t yet a full-time starter for Alabama before leaving, but he could play a similar role for the Buccaneers to solidify their stout defense if he falls to them.

Are the Buccaneers sold on Alex Cappa?

This is a wild card pick for the Buccaneers because Alex Cappa is returning and has been a serviceable right guard as of late. However, Cappa’s increased playtime will lead to a larger contract next time around – which will be the end of the 2021 season, when he becomes an unrestricted free agent. Wyatt Davis doesn’t fill an immediate need because of that.

However, if Davis falls to 32, the Bucs could get a great value by picking him up. Davis is a mauler who also gets to the second level in the running game with ease. He creates great leverage at the point of attack, and he ate up defensive lineman in the Big 10. He is an intense force in the running game, and the Buccaneers could use that to counter Tom Brady’s air attack.
