Draft Grade — Buccaneers

Grand theft in slot 146: the Buccaneers steal Loveland and grade out a D.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Colston Loveland, the 146th pick, roughly 129 picks past where he belonged.

Sanders has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Harold Perkins Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Harold Perkins Jr. reach No. 45 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Taking Tyler Booker in pick No. 73 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in Round 3, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Raheim Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Raheim Sanders. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jaxson Dart
They robbed the room for Jaxson Dart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They will replay Ajani Cornelius at slot 142 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Colston Loveland
They barely believed it either: Colston Loveland still on the board at the 146th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd6 Julian Fleming
No edge and no loss on Julian Fleming in No. 176; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick184 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
Circle this one: J.C. Davis at pick 184 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Tommi Hill in the 189th overall pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson at pick No. 211 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick218 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Steal is underselling it; Alfred Collins at the 218th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy at slot 221 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
