Roundtable: Positions to Target in Round 1?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are slated to choose 19th in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, which will be conducted in Philadelphia on Thursday, April 27. If every team before the Buccaneers uses its full 10-minute allotment to pick, the night would be three hours old before Tampa Bay was on the clock.
The Buccaneers needed less than a third of that time to lock down not one but two key additions to the roster when the NFL's free agency began on Thursday, March 9. By the time the first hour of the open market had passed, the Buccaneers had added an important piece on both sides of the ball, signing wide receiver DeSean Jackson and defensive tackle Chris Baker.
