The real work happened on the phones. The Buccaneers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Maxx Crosby deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. The Trotter pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
Josiah Trotter at pick 46 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
