Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Buccaneers. For now, C+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Buccaneers took Donovan Ezeiruaku a full 35 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Donovan Ezeiruaku
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at No. 53 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick No. 84 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
