Reheheheheh DRAFTING FOR THEBuccaneers

Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall

Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers. The rest of the league had time to spare on Ethan O'Connor; the Buccaneers did not wait, grabbing him 111 spots ahead at No. 153.
That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick 15 they get the heartbeat of the defense, reach and all.
Pick46
Rnd2
Fernando Mendoza
A quarterback of that caliber at pick No. 46 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77
Rnd3
Will Lee III
Will Lee III at Round 3, Pick 13 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116
Rnd4
Joshua Josephs
They will replay Joshua Josephs at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153
Rnd5
Ethan O'Connor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ethan O'Connor in the 153rd overall pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193
Rnd6
Diego Pavia
They talked themselves into Diego Pavia at slot 193, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229
Rnd7
Dae'Quan Wright
Dae'Quan Wright at No. 229 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
