Draft Grade — Buccaneers

The Buccaneers landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Ernest Willor Jr.; the Buccaneers did not wait, grabbing him 322 spots ahead at pick No. 190.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jordan Seaton
Jordan Seaton in slot 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick43 Rnd2 OJ Frederique Jr.
OJ Frederique Jr. at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Anthony Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anthony Smith this early at the 74th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cooper Barkate
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Barkate at the 115th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Taylor Wein
They paid sticker price for Taylor Wein in pick 151, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ernest Willor Jr.
Ernest Willor Jr. at Round 6, Pick 11 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ezomo Oratokhai
Value said wait; Ezomo Oratokhai in Round 7, Pick 10 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
