Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Buccaneers a B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Buccaneers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

The Lawrence pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Scott falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A tidy little value on Anthony Hill Jr. in pick No. 46, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick77 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott slipping to slot 77 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson is a better player than Round 5, Pick 15 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid in pick 193 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Luke Hasz
They went early on Luke Hasz in the 229th pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
