Draft Grade — Buccaneers

Grand theft in slot 53: the Buccaneers steal Emmanwori and grade out a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nick Emmanwori, the Round 2 slot, roughly 33 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Ransom pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Every board in the league had Kiser lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 19th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all.
Pick53 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in slot 53, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A clean, defensible pick in No. 84 with a little surplus value in Darien Porter. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots to take Lathan Ransom, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick 157 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
