Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody else had Micah Morris anywhere near Round 7, Pick 27. The Buccaneers did, by 64 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

That Lew pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Styles while a need in edge rusher, running back and other spots stayed open.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Sonny Styles while clear needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick75 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in the 75th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Nice patience on Keith Abney II, who had no business lasting to slot 79. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Trinidad Chambliss
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trinidad Chambliss in pick 151, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Bud Clark
A straight-up fair deal on Bud Clark at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at pick No. 229 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick243 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at pick 243 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
