The tape said wait; the Buccaneers did not. Landon Jackson went at the 19th pick, a good 26 picks before the board was ready.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
