Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Buccaneers, and a B- to prove it.

For all the boxes ticked, the Buccaneers skipped the loudest one: interior defensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The cost of the Joly reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
They paid sticker price for Caleb Banks in slot 29, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick61 Rnd2 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
No drama and no debate, Whit Weeks went about where he belonged in pick 93. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick129 Rnd4 Justin Joly
They paid a round early for Justin Joly in the 129th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
No edge and no loss on Aamil Wagner in pick No. 169; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
A straight-up fair deal on DJ Harvey at No. 208, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia in the 243rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
