Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Buccaneers never addressed interior defensive lineman, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

The Uiagalelei pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In pick No. 16 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Fair-plus on Quincy Rhodes Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
They paid sticker price for Jaishawn Barham in the 116th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick154 Rnd5 CJ Baxter
Nothing to complain about; CJ Baxter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
