With the 26th pick in the SB Nation writers’ mock draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select offensive lineman Graham Barton out of Duke.
The way things played out in this draft, it appeared that the top edge rushers I was targeting were going to come close to falling into my lap. Unfortunately, Laiatu Latu went 19th, Jared Verse went two picks later at 21, then Oregon offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson went 24th — but that left the No. 1 interior offensive lineman on my board to fall to me with the plug-and-play starter from the Blue Devils.
