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

The Buccaneers clearly saw something nobody else did in Jacobe Covington, taking him 68 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lawson. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A tidy bit of business in the 45th pick, where Luther Burden III graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in slot 76 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Colston Loveland in the 115th overall pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
They barely believed it either: Deontae Lawson still on the board at pick No. 151. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jacobe Covington
They reached a country mile for Jacobe Covington at pick 229, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
