Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Buccaneers: C-.

Nobody had Xzavier Henderson this high, and it is not close. The Buccaneers reached 233 spots to get him at the Round 2 slot.

On value alone, Oladejo makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In pick No. 19 they get a load in the middle, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Xzavier Henderson
A big swing on Xzavier Henderson at Round 2, Pick 21, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
A clean, defensible pick in pick 84 with a little surplus value in Jared Ivey. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at the 121st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Oluwafemi Oladejo worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The roster fit checks out.
