Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Demetrius Knight Jr. had no business being available in slot 84, and the Buccaneers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Thornton Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 20th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They paid sticker price for Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick 53, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They barely believed it either: Demetrius Knight Jr. still on the board at slot 84. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick121 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 121st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 5, Pick 19 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
