The NFL has seen five weeks of the season, minus one game, come and go. In the process, teams have emerged as contenders, others have sank, and through it all team needs have started to unfold as their front offices get ready for the NFL Draft that will be here before we know it.
As we go through the season, we will be posting monthly updates of the draft order so you can see where the Bucs are, as well as others in the NFC South.
