Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B-.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Buccaneers spent the 46th pick on Chris Cole while interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots sat unaddressed.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Cole.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa at No. 15 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick46 Rnd2 Chris Cole
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots to take Chris Cole, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick77 Rnd3 Joe Otting
No edge and no loss on Joe Otting in pick No. 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Duce Robinson
Fair-plus on Duce Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Boubacar Traore
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Boubacar Traore in Round 5, Pick 15. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Malik Hartford
By-the-book stuff, Malik Hartford at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick229 Rnd7 Riley Williams
Riley Williams in the 229th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
