Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Darius Muasau slide, and the Buccaneers were the ones holding the card at pick No. 246. Highway robbery.

Every board in the league had Nourzad lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 26 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They took T.J. Tampa at par in the 57th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Hunter Nourzad
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hunter Nourzad. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick No. 102 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in pick 118, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Brandon Coleman
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 25 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
They went early on Rasheen Ali in the 179th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at No. 220 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Taking Darius Muasau in slot 246 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
