Wheatley should have been long gone. The Buccaneers pounced, and earned a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Zakee Wheatley tumbling to the Buccaneers in pick 116 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

If Tucker pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In pick 15 they get a press-man option on the boundary. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
No drama and no debate, Jacob Rodriguez went about where he belonged in pick No. 46. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick77 Rnd3 Max Klare
No edge and no loss on Max Klare in the 77th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in Round 4, Pick 16 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Value said wait; Nadame Tucker in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the 195th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
A reach for Aiden Fisher in slot 229; a little patience would have been rewarded. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
