Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Buccaneers did enough to get by: C+.

Nobody else had Donovan Ezeiruaku anywhere near pick No. 20. The Buccaneers did, by 34 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Hit on Donovan Ezeiruaku and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Donovan Ezeiruaku
This one needs a full-page explanation: Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 20th overall pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at No. 53 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at Round 3, Pick 20 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick85 Rnd3 David Walker
A wild overpay on David Walker in the 85th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at pick 157. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
