Draft Grade — Buccaneers

The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B-. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Buccaneers walked out of the weekend still thin at interior defensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.
Every board in the league had Howell lower, and that gap is the story. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Cashius Howell
In pick 15 they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick46
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at slot 46 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
