Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedB-

FutureD
The Buccaneers won the night they stopped Stowers from sliding. Grade: B. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Buccaneers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.
Stowers at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
They will need Elarms-Orr to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In No. 15 they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick77
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116
Rnd4
De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in the 116th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155
Rnd5
Kaleb Elarms-Orr
They reached a country mile for Kaleb Elarms-Orr at pick 155, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick195
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 14, where DJ Campbell graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229
Rnd7
TJ Hall
TJ Hall at pick No. 229 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
