The NFL has seen 18 weeks come and go, and with it, we now have some solid footing as it relates to the NFL Draft. In the process, teams emerged as contenders, others 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 head into the offseason, we will post updates on the draft order so you can see where the Bucs are, as well as the other teams in the NFC South, as the playoffs roll on.

As we did with Summer scouting, we want Bucs fans to be the most knowledgeable fans. To do that, you need to have some well-rounded football awareness, and this helps with that. With that in mind, here is the draft order as the league works through December.

Note: The draft order is set following Sunday Night Football of Week 18 according to Tankathon.
