2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (No. 19)

How cool would it be to see Anthony Richardson stay home and play for the Buccaneers? He could help Tampa Bay replace Tom Brady — if that’s even possible.

The 2022 season was a nightmare for the Buccaneers outside of sneaking into the playoffs as the offense was really bad and Brady was underwhelming. It was tough to see the greatest quarterback of all time whither away, but age seemed to catch up to him quickly.

Richardson brings an entirely different look to the quarterback situation for the Buccaneers. He can run, he can sling it, and he can help make sure this team doesn’t fade completely.

Blaine Gabbert is currently the projected starting quarterback for Tampa and that would be worst-case scenario post-Brady. But we could see Richardson go No. 19 overall or the Buccaneers could trade up and snag him to start over Gabbert and reunite with Kyle Trask who is currently slotted in as the backup.

Richardson to Tampa would make a ton of sense.
