Golday should have been long gone. The Buccaneers pounced, and earned a B. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Buccaneers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Golday pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
The Maxx Crosby pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick46
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Anthony Hill Jr. at the 46th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jake Golday
They barely believed it either: Jake Golday still on the board at Round 3, Pick 13. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Will Lee III
Will Lee III in slot 116 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155
Rnd5
Nate Boerkircher
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nate Boerkircher in the 155th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Eric McAlister
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Eric McAlister in No. 195. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229
Rnd7
Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
