Buc50 DRAFTING FOR THEBuccaneers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
B-

TradesB-
FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Devin Leary at pick 203, a reach of 88 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, McCarthy makes the weekend a net positive. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 26th overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
No drama and no debate, Marshawn Kneeland went about where he belonged in slot 89. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams at the 126th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick203
Rnd6
Devin Leary
Devin Leary in pick 203 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
