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

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named interior defensive lineman, a need the Buccaneers walked right past.

The Trotter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If Rivers pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Job largely done: tight end settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 David Bailey
In pick No. 15 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Max Klare
They jumped the gun on Max Klare, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
They read the board right and Josiah Trotter was the payoff at the 77th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
They liked Eric Rivers enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 116. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts in the 153rd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
