Boards are made to be trusted, and the Buccaneers shredded theirs for Cody Lindenberg. He came off 79 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Moore while a need in interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots stayed open.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Jahdae Barron · CB · rank 13
In pick 24 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 20
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach the 53rd pick and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 86
No drama and no debate, Carson Schwesinger went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 19. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Jordan Burch · DE-EDGE · rank 94
Jordan Burch at the 85th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Kyle McCord · QB · rank 124
Kyle McCord at pick No. 97 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.19 · Pick 120 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 93
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Malachi Moore at safety with interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots open.
R5.1 · Pick 140 · Kobe King · LB · rank 132
A slide stopped in pick 140, with Kobe King worth more than the price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R5.19 · Pick 158 · Fadil Diggs · DL-EDGE · rank 226
They left a pile of value on the table to take Fadil Diggs this early at No. 158. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.22 · Pick 161 · Cody Lindenberg · LB · rank 240
They reached a country mile for Cody Lindenberg at slot 161, and the board is aghast. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.21 · Pick 199 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 177
Jaylen Reed at Round 6, Pick 21 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.19 · Pick 237 · Clay Webb · OG · rank 241
Clay Webb in the 237th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
