A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Colston Loveland; the Buccaneers did not wait, grabbing him 30 spots ahead at the 32nd pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Revel Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dani Dennis-Sutton this early at pick No. 59. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
A slide stopped in the 67th overall pick, with Sebastian Castro worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Shavon Revel Jr.
They will replay Shavon Revel Jr. at No. 126 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Barion Brown
Barion Brown is a better player than Round 5, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Amari Kight
A wild overpay on Amari Kight in pick 168, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Power Echols
A reach for Power Echols in pick No. 240; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
