Per ESPN’s Jenna Laine, the Buccaneers signed five more draft picks to rookie deals.

Along with first-round DE Rueben Bain Jr., Tampa Bay also signed WR Ted Hurst, CB Keionte Scott, DT DeMonte Capehart, G Billy Schrauth and TE Bauer Sharp on Thursday.

Laine adds Hurst hasn’t officially signed yet as he’s arriving late to rookie minicamp because of his graduation.

Second-round LB Josiah Trotter is the only unsigned Buccaneer draft pick. Here’s a look at their draft class:
