FutureB-
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Buccaneers would have aced it. Troy Bowles at slot 248 is 100 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
That Robertson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In slot 31 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick63
Rnd2
Austin Barber
No drama and no debate, Austin Barber went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 31. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95
Rnd3
Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at pick No. 95 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131
Rnd4
Oscar Delp
They reached a country mile for Oscar Delp at pick 131, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in No. 172 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211
Rnd6
Sawyer Robertson
The board fumbled Sawyer Robertson all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248
Rnd7
Troy Bowles
Troy Bowles in the 248th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
