Mock draft projections identify LSU tight end Trey'Dez Green as a primary target for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with their first-round pick in 2027. The 6-foot-7 prospect is viewed as an athletic mismatch capable of providing a significant receiving target for Baker Mayfield. While current tight end Cade Otton has served as the team's starter since 2022, scouts note that Green offers elite physical traits and immediate potential in the passing game. This potential selection would aim to address the team's needs at the position following the departure of Mike Evans. Beyond the focus on a tight end, analysts also suggest the franchise could prioritize bolstering the offensive or defensive lines. The organization is currently working through contract negotiations to ensure Baker Mayfield remains the starting quarterback for future seasons.
