The Buccaneers cashed the board's mistake on Jackson: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Donovan Jackson slide, and the Buccaneers were the ones holding the card at Round 4, Pick 19. Highway robbery.

Reaching for Martin left real value on the table behind him. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick19 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen

In No. 19 they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.

Pick53 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson

A quiet steal in pick No. 53: Kaleb Johnson for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.

Pick84 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins

Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 20 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.

Pick120 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson

They barely believed it either: Donovan Jackson still on the board at slot 120. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.

Pick158 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel

You do not let a quarterback like Dillon Gabriel reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
