Some picks age like wine; Jack Kiser at the 157th pick will need to, sitting 25 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

It is not that Ransom is a bad player; it is that the Buccaneers had louder needs to answer first. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They banked enough surplus on Ransom to cover a lot of smaller sins.

On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
