Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

The Eric O'Neill selection is the head-turner. The Buccaneers reached 57 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They banked enough surplus on Manning to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 31st pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick63 Rnd2 Arch Manning
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Arch Manning in the 63rd overall pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95 Rnd3 Joe Royer
They let Joe Royer come to them and pounced at slot 95. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eric O'Neill
They talked themselves into Eric O'Neill at pick No. 131, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith is a better player than pick 172 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick211 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
They reached a country mile for Princewill Umanmielen at No. 211, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Thompson well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
