Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureC
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

Nobody had Vincent Anthony Jr. this high, and it is not close. The Buccaneers reached 50 spots to get him at the Round 5 slot. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 14th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 12, where Anthony Hill Jr. graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Somehow Connor Lew was still sitting there in pick 75, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith at the 113th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
They liked Oscar Delp enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 192. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
A reach on Desmond Reid in No. 229; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
