PFSN: Buccaneers Likely to Take DE at No. 15
Buccaneers overwhelmingly draft edge rushers in PFSN mock drafts. See who's the most popular pick at No. 15 and who could be the surprise contender.
Throughout the pre-draft process, PFSN has offered a Mock Draft Simulator, allowing Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans and self-styled GMs to take a crack at drafting. On Tuesday, just two days before the Bucs make their first-round selection, PFSN released the metrics of the most commonly-picked positions and players selected by users in the past week. Not surprisingly, the most drafted first-round position was defensive end, with edge rushers being the pick 43.
7 percent of the time. Auburn's Keldric Faulk lead the way at 21. 7 percent.
The 2025 third-team All-SEC performer was a bright spot on a relatively disappointing Auburn squad last season, serving as the Tigers' team captain. Faulk displayed versatility in the trenches, tying for the team-lead with 4 pass break-ups, using his size and 35' vertical to bat down balls at the line. Following Faulk was Miami's Akheem Mesidor, who was selected in 16.
1 percent of the mocks. Mesidor and Rueben Bain Jr. , his counterpart on the Miami defensive line, formed one of the most lethal pass rushes in the country last season, helping lead the Hurricanes to the National Championship game.
