Overall B-

No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers.

Priorities are a choice, and the Buccaneers made a strange one, taking Sonny Styles at linebacker in pick No. 46 with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots crying out for the pick instead.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Styles pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 15 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A curious use of slot 46. Interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Sonny Styles did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
