With the NFL Draft scheduled for Thursday, here is a complete list of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers upcoming draft picks for the 2015 NFL Draft.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers saw troubling times in 2014 going just 2-14 under new head coach Lovie Smith. While their season didn’t see a lot of bright spots, the silver lining in it all is that they were awarded the no. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. Bucs fans have been waiting for this moment since Week 3 of last year after realizing their team needed some serious help.

With the first pick this year, they might just be getting that help. Obviously, the two quarterbacks who have caused so much conversation in this years draft in Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston would be an option for the Bucs. But several teams have been rumored to contact Tampa Bay in attempt to trade for the first overall pick.

Whatever the Bucs decide to do it is clear they have some leverage in this years draft. Here are their picks broken down in order.

Rd 1: Pick 1 (1st overall)

Rd 2: Pick 2 (34st overall)

Rd 3: Pick 1 (65th overall)

Rd 4: Pick 10 (109th overall)

Rd 5: Pick 32 (168th overall)

Rd 6: Pick 8 (184th overall)

Rd 7: Pick 1 (218th overall)

It will be interesting to see what the Bucs do with these picks. Last year, the Bucs selected WR Mike Evans in the first round. He went on to produce decent numbers catching 68 passes for over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns. Definitely a solid pick up in the first round of last years draft.

They do have a lot of options going into the draft this year. This could be the year they draft a franchise player or end up with a bust. That decision lies in the lands of Lovie Smith and the Tampa Bay organization.
