Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Buccaneers: 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 Sonny Styles in pick No. 15.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 15 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick46 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
A want over a need in Round 2, Pick 14: Deontae Lawson adds a linebacker while interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
