TAMPA, Fla. — The 2021 NFL Draft kicked off Thursday night and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the final pick of the first round, pick 32. Tampa Bay general manager Jason Licht could trade the pick and move up or down in the draft.

The Bucs return all 22 starters from last season's Super Bowl championship team, but ESPN NFL analyst Booger McFarland said the team still has needs they will address.

"I think for the Bucs it’s going to be offensive line or a front seven player on defense," McFarland said via video chat. "Whoever they have rated higher on the offensive line, maybe a guard. If you’re gonna have Brady for two more years you gotta protect him. If there’s an edge guy, maybe [Georgia linebacker Azeez Ojulari] slides to them at 32. You can never have enough pass rushers. I think ultimately that’s where they go."

Below is the updated list of Tampa Bay Buccaneers' picks. You can catch all seven rounds of the NFL Draft on ABC Action News.
