Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+

Grand theft in No. 192: the Buccaneers steal Sturdivant and grade out a B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let J. Michael Sturdivant slide, and the Buccaneers were the ones holding the card at the 192nd overall pick. Highway robbery.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Every board in the league had Rattler lower, and that gap is the story.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 14th pick they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at No. 42 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick60 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in slot 60 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Braelon Allen at the 74th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Payton Wilson at Round 3, Pick 28, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler in pick No. 110 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick 165 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick188 Rnd6 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 188 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
They barely believed it either: J. Michael Sturdivant still on the board at the Round 6 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylan Ford at pick 211. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick220 Rnd6 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at Round 6, Pick 45 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at slot 231 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
