Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers torched the value chart for Deontae Lawson, taking him 40 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will answer for taking defensive back early while interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots went begging.

Hill falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 13 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Oscar Delp
A straight-up fair deal on Oscar Delp at the 59th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jason Marshall Jr. adds a defensive back and leaves interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots untouched.
Pick92 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick No. 92 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Deontae Lawson. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Deion Burks
They reached a country mile for Deion Burks at pick 123, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Taking Tommi Hill in pick 141 is close to grand larceny; a defensive back that good had no business lasting this long. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaishawn Barham this early at the 156th pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick205 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They paid sticker price for Xavier Truss in slot 205, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
A wild overpay on Jared Wilson in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
