Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Buccaneers this weekend: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Buccaneers started one anyway for Riley Williams, 60 picks ahead of schedule.

Getting Joyner where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The Geno Smith pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value.
Pick54 Rnd2 Suntarine Perkins
A premium they did not need to pay, Suntarine Perkins a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers in slot 86 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Monroe Mills
They jumped the gun on Monroe Mills, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 John Mateer
John Mateer at the 161st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192 Rnd6 Riley Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Riley Williams this early at the 192nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
Taking Quinten Joyner in pick 200 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Hall in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
