Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tarheeb Still at pick 220, a reach of 21 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That Ulofoshio pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Fair-plus on T.J. Tampa, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in slot 70 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in No. 89 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
A premium they did not need to pay, DeWayne Carter a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at the 125th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd6 Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still at pick No. 220 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick 246. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
