Bucs select CB Josh Hayes with pick No. 181

It took longer than expected, but the Bucs finally draft a CB.

The Bucs have selected Kansas State DB Josh Hayes with the No. 181-overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.

Hayes started his career at North Dakota State and played Safety at Kansas State, but could play nickel for the Buccaneers. He’s familiar with new Bucs player Cody Mauch, as the two were teammates before his transfer to Kansas State last year.

Hayes will likely compete with Zyon McCollum for the nickel spot and could also find use as a special teamer.
