Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C
ValueD- NeedB TradesC- FutureC
The Buccaneers drew a line under the quarterback search with Iamaleava: C.

The Dijon Johnson selection is the head-turner. The Buccaneers reached 185 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.

That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They have staked the next five years on Nico Iamaleava, which is the only story that really matters here.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nico Iamaleava
In the 31st pick they get the arm they will build around, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick63 Rnd2 Max Klare
Max Klare at Round 2, Pick 31 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Dijon Johnson
A wild overpay on Dijon Johnson in No. 78, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Chris Bell
The board fumbled Chris Bell all the way to pick 131, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172 Rnd5 Fernando Carmona
A real head-scratcher, Fernando Carmona in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tao Johnson
Tao Johnson in pick No. 211 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick248 Rnd7 Derrick Moore
Taking Derrick Moore in the 248th pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
