Grand theft in the 158th pick: the Buccaneers steal Campbell and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jihaad Campbell got past him. The Buccaneers do not have to explain a thing at the 158th pick. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
Steal is underselling it; Travis Hunter at No. 19 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in slot 53 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 158 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick237 Rnd7 David Walker
David Walker at Round 7, Pick 19 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
