Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Buccaneers: C+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Buccaneers did exactly that with Diego Pavia in the Round 5 slot. The final tally is a middling C+.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In No. 31 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick 63 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick95 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A slide stopped in the 95th pick, with Eli Stowers worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at pick No. 131 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia at Round 5, Pick 31 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
