Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B-. The Buccaneers torched the value chart for Patrick Payton, taking him 57 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Allen steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
T.J. Parker
In pick 15 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all.
Pick46
Rnd2
CJ Allen
CJ Allen is a better player than the 46th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick77
Rnd3
Max Klare
They took Max Klare at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116
Rnd4
Mason Reiger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mason Reiger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick155
Rnd5
Tim Keenan III
They read the board right and Tim Keenan III was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 15. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in No. 195 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229
Rnd7
TJ Hall
Nice patience on TJ Hall, who had no business lasting to the 229th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
