Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Sanders. Final grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Buccaneers were there to profit. Raheim Sanders, the No. 144 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot.

Every board in the league had Mellott lower, and that gap is the story. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 19th pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at Round 2, Pick 21 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 David Bailey
A big swing on David Bailey at slot 84, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 156 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
Tommy Mellott at the 249th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
They robbed the room for Raheim Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
