The Buccaneers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. Everything else got attention, and offensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Buccaneers to leave a draft. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
The Golday value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Keldric Faulk
In pick 15 they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at slot 46 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jake Golday
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jake Golday in the 72nd overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116
Rnd4
Bishop Fitzgerald
They took Bishop Fitzgerald at par in the 116th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick155
Rnd5
Rayshaun Benny
They paid sticker price for Rayshaun Benny in Round 5, Pick 15, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229
Rnd7
Dane Key
A straight-up fair deal on Dane Key at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
