Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesC FutureD
The Buccaneers cashed the board's mistake on Mesidor: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Akheem Mesidor got past him. The Buccaneers do not have to explain a thing at No. 229. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Buccaneers indulged a want in Styles while a need in quarterback, running back and other spots stayed open. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 28th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot.
Pick38 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in Round 2, Pick 6 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at the 46th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick59 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 59 on Sonny Styles with quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick69 Rnd3 David Bailey
David Bailey at slot 69 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at No. 77 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
They will replay Mansoor Delane at pick No. 116 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kenyon Sadiq
Steal is underselling it; Kenyon Sadiq at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick195 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
They barely believed it either: Lee Hunter still on the board at slot 195. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
The board fumbled Akheem Mesidor all the way to pick No. 229, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
