27 Days, 27 Picks: OT Kenyatta Walker

The Bucs gave up two first-rounders for head coach Jon Gruden in 2002, so we go back to 2001 for the next player in our series — one who heard his number called by NFL referees far too often.

In 27 Days, 27 Picks, Bucs Wire will analyze the last 27 Tampa Bay Buccaneers first-round draft picks, one for each day leading up to the 2023 NFL draft. We’ll take a look at the player’s college stats, their pre-draft numbers (either via the NFL Combine or their Pro Day), their NFL stats, some player footage and analysis at the end on whether the pick itself was a good one.
