ROUND 6, Pick 44, 220th Overall
ROUND 7, Pick 26, 246th Overall
The Buccaneers have four solid pick opportunities in rounds One through Three, the second of the two third-round picks was a result of the March trade of Carlton Davis to the Lions, which also included sixth-round selections in this draft and next year's draft going back to Detroit. As Licht himself noted during the NFL Annual Meeting last month, third-round picks are very valuable assets and, indeed, eight of the nine players he has taken in that round since 2017 have become starters.
Tampa Bay was also awarded a compensatory pick at the end based on collective losses in free agency in 2023. It is the 44th and final pick of that round.

Peanut Butter/Brittle Cannonballs
Substitute almond or nut butter for those with peanut butter allergies.
In a large bowl, add peanut butter, melted butter, vanilla, salt and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixture until everything is combined.
Roll in peanut brittle
Use a 1-ounce cookie scoop (or about two tablespoons) to portion out the peanut butter/brittle mixture. Roll the 1-ounce portions into smooth balls and place onto a baking sheet.
Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes.
Combine coconut oil and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between, until the mixture is melted.
Stick a toothpick or a skewer into a peanut butter ball and dip it into the chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off and then put it onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
Repeat until all the cannonballs are coated. Chill in the fridge for at least 45 minutes before serving.
