It's way too early for me to start doing mock drafts. Heck, the combine hasn't even hit yet. What I will attempt to do that is give an exhaustive list of any guys the Bucs will have their eyes on. I have sifted through players that don't fit any Bucs needs. I have also left off guys who the team will have no shot at getting (Bowers, Fairley). We will be breaking down these guys until the draft hits, we hope you can keep up.
First Round Targets
Defensive End
Robert Quinn - UNC
Adrian Clayborn - Iowa
Aldon Smith - Missouri
Ryan Kerrigan - Purdue
JJ Watt - Wisconsin
Muhammad Wilkerson - Temple
Cornerback
Brandon Harris - Miami
Jimmy Smith - Colorado
Offensive Guard
Rodney Hudson - Florida State
Mike Pouncey - Florida
Danny Watkins - Baylor
Offensive Tackle
Nate Solder - Colorado
Tyron Smith - USC
Second round targets after the jump
Round two gets far more interesting. The Bucs don't necessarily have to fill a gaping need in this round and can take more of a chance. This list will be slightly longer as more guys have the chance to fall/rise to round 2.

If you have questions about why I left some guys off of this list and added other, please feel free to ask. Interested to hear your take.
While we certainly can't promise we will do a write-up of each of these players, we will give it our best to cover the best options.
