Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Amari Gainer, 51 picks early at the 251st overall pick.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Melton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In pick 30 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at slot 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in pick No. 99 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Max Melton
Value with a capital V on Max Melton in the 126th pick, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at Round 4, Pick 30 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jalen Green
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalen Green a notch or two before his time. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick220 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kenny Logan Jr. at pick 220. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
No edge and no loss on Tatum Bethune in pick No. 247; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick251 Rnd7 Amari Gainer
Amari Gainer at slot 251 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
