The bad news: Carl Nassib, Jason Pierre-Paul, and Shaquil Barrett are all on expiring contracts after this season. The good news: the Buccaneers are more than likely going to re-sign two of the three after the year in order to keep some continuity at the outside linebacker position; they should, however, look to add some more depth at the position late in the draft.

Here in the sixth round, with their last pick in the 2020 draft at this point, the Bucs take Wisconsin pass rusher Zack Baun. An unknown asset prior to the season, Baun has put himself on the map of draft scouts and is now in position to be drafted come next Spring for his performance so far in 2019.

With just two and a half sacks and ten tackles for loss to his name prior to entering the 2019 season, Baun has already tallied seven and a half sacks and 12 tackles for loss. He has also tallied two forced fumbles and one interception for the Badgers as well this season.

The Bucs round out their draft with a 6-3, 235 pound pass rusher to add depth behind the starters at outside linebacker. Outside of Anthony Nelson, the Bucs have nobody outside of the big three.
