The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will get a compensatory draft pick for the first time since 2010, when they got the 253rd in the draft and used it to select Erik Lorig.
According to Over The Cap’s early projections for the 2018 NFL draft, the Bucs will get a seventh-round pick to compensate for their net loss of Bradley McDougald in free agency.
Compensatory picks are awarded based on net losses in free agency, with players signing more expensive contracts and contributing being valued more highly. THe highest pick a team can get is a third-rounder.
