Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B-.

The war room fell hard for Tyreak Sapp, and it showed at the 89th pick: 105 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Chiles falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 22nd overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jyaire Hill
The board had cheaper options than Jyaire Hill at pick No. 54, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp at Round 3, Pick 25 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at pick 122 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Aidan Chiles
Aidan Chiles in No. 161 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Troy Bowles
A real head-scratcher, Troy Bowles in slot 200 is miles ahead of his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jaleel Skinner
They talked themselves into Jaleel Skinner at No. 235, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
They liked Isaiah Neyor enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 252. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
