Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Buccaneers: B-.

The Buccaneers clearly saw something nobody else did in Elijhah Badger, taking him 110 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Lawson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 14 they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
The board had cheaper options than Jalen Milroe at the 45th pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick No. 76 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
You do not let a linebacker like Deontae Lawson reach pick 115 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick151 Rnd5 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at Round 5, Pick 13 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Davison Igbinosun
Somehow Davison Igbinosun was still sitting there in the 229th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
