I asked Jeremy McNichols what it was like getting that phone call from the Bucs. "I feel like the world got off my shoulders, honestly. These last four or five months have been really stressful for me. Just getting the call, it's like all my hard work and everything going into this is done now. But it's not finished. It's just a new beginning."

The Bills select Boise State LB Tanner Vallejo with their final pick, No. 195. Like LB Matt Milano in the fifth round, Vallejo will likely contribute on special teams while also competing for a role on defense. The 6-foot-1, 228 pound linebacker was an all-Mountain West honorable mention last season.

Jeremy McNichols on Dirk Koetter: "It was just really comforting knowing that he coached at Boise State and had some of our coaches as players." Also said he played receiver three years in high school and for one year in college, so he's very comfortable there.
