Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers spent real capital to be 31 picks early on Kalil Alexander, and the board is going to hold them to it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hill Jr.. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in pick No. 46 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick77 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
Value said wait; Derrick Moore in No. 77 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jack Endries
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 16, where Jack Endries graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Connor Tollison
No drama and no debate, Connor Tollison went about where he belonged in the 154th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander in slot 194 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
A tidy little value on J. Michael Sturdivant in pick 229, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
