Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall A

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Buccaneers and Fields: A.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Buccaneers were there to profit. Malachi Fields, the No. 73 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 4, Pick 16. Little to argue with here, and the A says so.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Christen Miller
They read the board right and Christen Miller was the payoff at slot 69. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jake Golday
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jake Golday in No. 77, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the 106th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Fields
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Fields at the 116th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Nice patience on Keylan Rutledge, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 25. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A slide stopped in pick No. 187, with Kaleb Elarms-Orr worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
The board had Dae'Quan Wright higher than pick 195, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Josh Cameron
Taking Josh Cameron in No. 229 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
