Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Buccaneers, and a B- to prove it.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Buccaneers reached some 53 spots for Eric O'Neill, and value like that does not grow back.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Daniels steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
They liked Matayo Uiagalelei enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 15. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick46 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Nothing to complain about; CJ Allen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick77 Rnd3 Joe Royer
Good price on Joe Royer in the 77th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Boubacar Traore
They went early on Boubacar Traore in No. 116, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
A real head-scratcher, Eric O'Neill in pick No. 153 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: CJ Daniels for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
The board had Isaiah Nwokobia higher than pick No. 229, and the safety fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
