Buccaneers NFL Draft Grades: Rounds 1-3

The NFL draft is here and the Buccaneers to this point have made three selections in the first three rounds. Do the picks for the Bucs make sense? Lets give it a grade and find out.

Round 1, 19th Overall: Pittsburgh DL, Calijah Kancey

In the first round the Bucs surprised many, myself included when they selected Pittsburgh defensive lineman Calijah Kancey with the 19th overall pick. Kancey is a lineman with a quick first step and his calling card is rushing the passer, which the Bucs lacked last season. Listed at 6’1, 281 pounds, Kancey is a bit smaller than your typical interior defensive lineman, especially one in a Todd Bowles defense.
