With the 183rd overall pick, the Bucs snatched a linebacker coming off an injury.

Devante Bond missed four games last year for Oklahoma because of bum ankle. Joe figures the Bucs see him as a special teams prospect, as he’s an impressive athlete.

Per OUDaily.com:

Bond is quick in transition with the ability to shed blockers, but his ankle injury his senior season didn’t help out his draft stock. He was able to redeem himself with a good showing at the combine and pro day but will likely fall to the final round of the draft or become a free agent.
