Draft Grade — Buccaneers

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Buccaneers: B. The rest of the league had time to spare on Jacory Croskey-Merritt; the Buccaneers did not wait, grabbing him 48 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 19. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Walker at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In pick 22 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at the 42nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in No. 84 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
A reach for Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121
Rnd4
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the 121st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127
Rnd4
Mitchell Evans
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mitchell Evans this early at slot 127. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner in pick 157 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Hancock in slot 199, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick202
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
A premium they did not need to pay, Nazir Stackhouse a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at No. 229 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jacory Croskey-Merritt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jacory Croskey-Merritt well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
