Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Buccaneers.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Buccaneers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to interior defensive lineman, which was the need that mattered most. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Lawrence has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Getting Scott where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 28th overall pick they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They let CJ Allen come to them and pounced at slot 46. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick77 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in pick 77 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence at pick No. 116 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
A straight-up fair deal on Nadame Tucker at No. 153, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Jatta at the 193rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
They took Roderick Kearney at par in Round 7, Pick 13, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
