The Buccaneers bet big and early on Max Klare, 30 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 15 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Max Klare at Round 2, Pick 14 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
