2023 NFL draft: Potential Day 2 targets for the Bucs

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will need as many starting-caliber players as they can get from their 2023 NFL draft class, thanks to a long list of key free agents on both sides of the ball, and a challenging salary cap situation.

There should still be plenty of those kinds of prospects still on the board after the Bucs made their first-round pick, and it’s possible they could even trade down from that spot at No. 19 overall to try and add more picks in the second and third rounds.

Here are some of the prospects the Bucs could target on Day 2 of this year’s draft:
