Larceny in Round 6, Pick 29 lands the Buccaneers a C+, Blue and all.

Call it larceny. Jaydon Blue sat on the board until No. 205, and the Buccaneers did not need to be asked twice.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Barrow Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 25 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. More want than need.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 60th pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick89 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston slipping to pick 89 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
The board had Pat Bryant higher than Round 5, Pick 19, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Steal is underselling it; Jaydon Blue at No. 205 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. in the 206th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jabbar Muhammad. It fills a real need, too.
