The Buccaneers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Buccaneers took Jake Briningstool at pick 117, roughly 89 spots before his name belonged.

On value alone, Mondon Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 16 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in the 50th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in pick 81, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Briningstool
A real head-scratcher, Jake Briningstool in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in Round 5, Pick 17 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tyreak Sapp
A big swing on Tyreak Sapp at No. 232, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
