The house mock has Tampa Bay grabbing Mario Craver at 19, but that's not what the numbers are shouting. Rasheem Biles sits 15th on the model, 65th in the room — the sharpest split on this board — and he plays exactly where the Bucs claim to need help, defensive front. Trevor Lauck and Kade Pieper show similar splits, but neither addresses a need. If Tampa Bay actually values its own model, Craver isn't the pick. Biles is.
