Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Buccaneers: B-.

The Graham Mertz pick is the one that will follow the Buccaneers into the fall. They took him 97 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Getting Watts where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 28 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen in the 51st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 81st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick No. 97 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick117 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
The board fumbled Gunnar Helm all the way to No. 117, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nicholas Singleton at slot 120. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
The board had Harold Perkins Jr. higher than pick 146, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick155 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Davison Igbinosun well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz at the 232nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
