Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Mondon Jr.. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Smael Mondon Jr., slot 235, roughly 129 picks past where he belonged.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 19th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
A reasonable price with a little left over, Benjamin Morrison in the 53rd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in slot 84 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at pick 119 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick156 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Steal is underselling it; Mason Taylor at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 235 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
