After a disappointing season where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers missed the playoffs for the first time since 2019, the team is looking to make significant additions in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft. ESPN's Jordan Reid suggests a strong possibility that the Buccaneers will select Kenyon Sadiq, a 6-foot-3 tight end from the Oregon Ducks, with the 15th overall pick. Sadiq, who received second-team All-American honors and was named the Big Ten Tight End of the Year, is considered a consensus top-20 talent and has drawn comparisons to All-Pro tight end Trey McBride. His ability to run routes effectively and generate yards after the catch makes him a valuable asset for any NFL team. The Buccaneers, under new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, may implement more 12 personnel sets, potentially allowing Sadiq to quickly become a primary receiving threat at tight end. Should Sadiq be unavailable, the Buccaneers are also looking at defensive ends as potential targets.
