Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B-.

The Buccaneers clearly saw something nobody else did in DeMonte Capehart, taking him 150 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Robinson. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 30th pick they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A reach for Sedrick Van Pran in slot 61; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at pick No. 99 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in No. 126, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in pick 131 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at pick No. 163 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 164th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick 198 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick203 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
They reached into another round for Rasheen Ali, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at the 244th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Kenny Logan Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
