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

The Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins selection is the head-turner. The Buccaneers reached 38 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Landing Hampton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

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

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech is a better player than pick 84 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
A wild overpay on Kaimon Rucker in Round 4, Pick 19, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
They reached a country mile for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at No. 157, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
A premium they did not need to pay, CJ Dippre a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
