Overall B

ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-

Larceny in the 235th overall pick lands the Buccaneers a B, Nelson and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jack Nelson, the No. 182 name on the board, stolen at the 235th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick19 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.

In No. 19 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.

Pick53 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson

Fair-plus on Kaleb Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.

Pick84 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins

They read the board right and Quinshon Judkins was the payoff at slot 84. It patches a soft spot without any drama.

Pick121 Rnd4 Barrett Carter

Barrett Carter in pick No. 121 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.

Pick157 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish

Circle this one: Jacob Parrish at Round 5, Pick 19 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick235 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
