- Bucs add some DL depth with DeMonte Capehart in NFL Draft
The Bucs continued to add to their defense as they look to build up some depth for Todd Bowles' side of the ball.
With the 155th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Clemson defensive lineman DeMonte Capehart . He was a sixth-year senior, so he is what he is at this point in his football life, and that is an athletic nose tackle for the Bucs.

Last year, the team rolled the dice on the Desmond Watson experiment, and it didn't pan out. They now get someone who fits their mold and can be a part of their defensive line rotation. He tested extremely well at the scouting combine, showing some added promise.
He never had much production at Clemson after years of expecting a breakout, but that is okay, as being a part of the rotation in Tampa Bay is perfect for him. Todd Bowles will now have some depth on his defensive line, so if injuries occur, he will be able to withstand some hits.
