The Buccaneers cashed the board's mistake on Tampa: B-. The rest of the league will want that one back. T.J. Tampa tumbling to the Buccaneers in pick No. 83 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
They are betting Hopper proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In No. 19 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51
Rnd2
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at the 51st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in Round 3, Pick 19 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 119 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick197
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
A conviction pick on Sam Hartman at pick 197 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220
Rnd6
Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones slid further than he should have, and the 220th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240
Rnd7
Aaron Frost
No edge and no loss on Aaron Frost in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
