Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Hunter should have been long gone. The Buccaneers pounced, and earned a C+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jarquez Hunter tumbling to the Buccaneers in pick 235 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

If Swinson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Bradyn Swinson
In pick 19 they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in No. 53 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at Round 3, Pick 20 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
No edge and no loss on Nohl Williams in slot 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at pick No. 235 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
