The tape said wait; the Buccaneers did not. CJ Daniels went at the 116th overall pick, a good 28 picks before the board was ready.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. McClellan at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 17
In the 15th pick they get a mismatch in the passing game. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Joshua Josephs · DE-EDGE · rank 45
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joshua Josephs. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Kyle Louis · LB · rank 87
They paid up for Kyle Louis at the 77th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · CJ Daniels · WR · rank 144
A big swing on CJ Daniels at slot 116, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.15 · Pick 155 · Chris McClellan · DT · rank 143
They read the board right and Chris McClellan was the payoff at pick No. 155. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
