The draft may be over, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren't done adding players to their roster yet. The Bucs will look to add a few talented players via undrafted free agency, as they do every year. Sometimes those players turn out to be valuable players, as was the case with cornerback Leonard Johnson last season.
Undrafted free agents will start signing as soon as the draft ends, and we'll hear plenty of rumors before the draft ends officially, too. With the Bucs not having any seventh round picks this year and ending the draft with just five drafted players, the post-draft period becomes a little more important to add depth and competition in training camp as well.
