The Buccaneers cashed the board's mistake on Milum: D.

The board owed the Buccaneers one, and it paid up: Wyatt Milum, the No. 103 name on the board, sitting there at pick 216 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Every board in the league had Williams lower, and that gap is the story. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 21st overall pick they get a disruptive interior force, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 13 with a little surplus value in Tyler Booker. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Princely Umanmielen
They barely believed it either: Princely Umanmielen still on the board at the 68th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in No. 77, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Raheim Sanders
A premium they did not need to pay, Raheim Sanders a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd4 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in pick 100 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tre Harris
You do not let a wide receiver like Tre Harris reach pick No. 109 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117 Rnd4 Gentry Williams
They reached a country mile for Gentry Williams at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in slot 120 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd5 Ashton Gillotte
Circle this one: Ashton Gillotte at the 132nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in No. 141 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaxson Dart
A quarterback of that caliber at pick 155 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd7 Rylie Mills
They robbed the room for Rylie Mills here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at Round 7, Pick 24 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
