Overall C+

Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Buccaneers: C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Buccaneers started one anyway for Jelani Thurman, 270 picks ahead of schedule. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. It is not that Styles is a bad player; it is that the Buccaneers had louder needs to answer first.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese

In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. Need was not the driver here.

Pick52 Rnd2 Sonny Styles

They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sonny Styles at linebacker with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots open.

Pick84 Rnd3 Davison Igbinosun

They reached into another round for Davison Igbinosun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.

Pick120 Rnd4 Jermaine Mathews Jr.

Jermaine Mathews Jr. at pick 120 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.

Pick160 Rnd5 Brandon Inniss

A big swing on Brandon Inniss at pick No. 160, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.

Pick199 Rnd6 Jelani Thurman
