Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Kalil Alexander, 27 picks early at No. 193. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Endries falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early.
Pick46 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
They liked Akheem Mesidor enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 46. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Taurean York
Good price on Taurean York in the 77th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Value with a capital V on Jack Endries in pick No. 116, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in Round 5, Pick 15 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kalil Alexander well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 13, with Fernando Carmona worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
