Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
C+

FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Buccaneers, and a C+ to match. Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Buccaneers never addressed interior defensive lineman, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.
If Styles pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a three-down second-level presence, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick46
Rnd2
Chris Johnson
They paid sticker price for Chris Johnson in slot 46, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
