Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Styles fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Buccaneers watched Sonny Styles slide 44 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Styles pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at offensive lineman, tight end and other spots.

The Hill Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 19th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Romello Height
Romello Height at slot 52 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
They bypassed pressing needs at offensive lineman, tight end and other spots to take Sonny Styles, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick120 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 20 with a little surplus value in D'Angelo Ponds. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
Fair-plus on DeMonte Capehart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at No. 200 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Khalil Barnes
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khalil Barnes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
