The Buccaneers land in the muddy middle: C+.

The tape said wait; the Buccaneers did not. Nohl Williams went at the 84th pick, a good 33 picks before the board was ready.

The Hancock steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

So much rides on Jihaad Campbell that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence, even if it was a touch early.
Pick53 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
No drama and no debate, Donovan Ezeiruaku went about where he belonged in pick 53. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Nohl Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nohl Williams well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick No. 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at the 157th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock slid further than he should have, and the 235th pick is lovely value for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
