The 2018 NFL Draft begins on the evening of Thursday, April 26, with the execution of the first round. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are slated to pick seventh overall, which means they can confidently narrow down their first-round wish list to a maximum of seven players. Given the anticipated early run on quarterbacks, they can realistically focus on three or four top candidates.
After that, obviously, things rapidly become less certain. The Buccaneers will definitely have a plan – and multiple contingency plans – for the 38th pick early in the second round on Friday night, but it's impossible to predict exactly which 30 players will come off the board after their first choice.
