The Buccaneers worked the phones like thieves and earned a C-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Buccaneers did exactly that with Maliq Carr in the Round 2 slot. A mixed bag that lands at C-.

Getting Burch where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

So much rides on Que Robinson that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Que Robinson
In No. 19 they get a problem off the edge, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Maliq Carr
Value said wait; Maliq Carr in pick No. 53 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Antwane Wells Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antwane Wells Jr. this early at the 104th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Alijah Huzzie
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Alijah Huzzie well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
A edge rusher of that caliber at slot 157 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
They reached into another round for Jacory Croskey-Merritt, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
Tyler Loop at No. 235 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
