Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Buccaneers spent No. 235 on Kyren Lacy, a name the board had a full 56 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Bassa pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, edge rusher and other spots. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Azareye'h Thomas at slot 53, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at Round 3, Pick 20 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid a round early for Jared Wilson in the 91st overall pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end, edge rusher and other spots to take Jeffrey Bassa, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick157 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in pick 157 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
No drama and no debate, Raheim Sanders went about where he belonged in slot 176. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
A tidy bit of business in No. 229, where Craig Woodson graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kyren Lacy in pick 235, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
