Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Buccaneers shredded theirs for Akheem Mesidor. He came off 22 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Allen steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In slot 15 they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick46 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Nice patience on CJ Allen, who had no business lasting to the 46th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
They did well to land Chase Bisontis in pick No. 77, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
