Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Jones. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Christian Jones, the No. 197 name on the board, stolen at the 220th pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If Sinnott pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
No edge and no loss on Quinyon Mitchell in slot 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 89th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ray Davis
They went early on Ray Davis in the 99th pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A conviction pick on Ben Sinnott at pick 126 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 130 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They did well to land Joe Milton III in Round 5, Pick 31, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Magee. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick204 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in the 204th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in No. 220 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry at slot 247 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
