Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Buccaneers: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Nadame Tucker at slot 116. The Buccaneers jumped the board by 56 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Landing Rivers that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In pick 26 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick46 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 14 is lovely value for the linebacker. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Circle this one: Jake Golday at No. 77 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
They talked themselves into Nadame Tucker at slot 116, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in the 195th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta in the 229th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
