Larceny in No. 86 lands the Buccaneers a B-, Leavitt and all.

Call it larceny. Sam Leavitt sat on the board until slot 86, and the Buccaneers did not need to be asked twice.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Perkins proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. slipping to No. 22 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick54 Rnd2 Suntarine Perkins
They paid up for Suntarine Perkins at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Sam Leavitt in the 86th overall pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at slot 122 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Braylan Shelby
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braylan Shelby. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jordan White
Jordan White at pick 201 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dante Dowdell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dante Dowdell in Round 7, Pick 19. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jalil Farooq
No drama and no debate, Jalil Farooq went about where he belonged in the 256th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
