Overall B

Larceny in pick 210 lands the Buccaneers a B, Iamaleava and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Nico Iamaleava at pick No. 210 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Carmona lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 32 they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen slipping to the 61st overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick93 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at Round 3, Pick 29 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis is a better player than the 129th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
Value with a capital V on Kyle Louis in pick 169, a genuine coup. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick210 Rnd6 Nico Iamaleava
Nico Iamaleava in No. 210 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. at slot 215 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
