Grand theft in slot 199: the Buccaneers steal Iamaleava and grade out a B-.

When a board-topper like Nico Iamaleava slides to the 199th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Buccaneers did not.

If Kamara pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 20 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at the 51st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara in the 84th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Adon Shuler
Adon Shuler at No. 119 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick160 Rnd5 Eugene Wilson III
Steal is underselling it; Eugene Wilson III at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Nico Iamaleava
Circle this one: Nico Iamaleava at slot 199 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at pick 235 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
