Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Sam Hartman at the 220th overall pick, a reach of 33 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Green at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In slot 29 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Tampa at No. 57 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A reach for Sedrick Van Pran in pick 73; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 89th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Renardo Green
They will replay Renardo Green at pick No. 92 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They did well to land Johnny Wilson in the 125th pick, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at No. 220 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at Round 7, Pick 26 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
