Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Buccaneers, and a B- to prove it.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: David Walker, 76 picks early at Round 3, Pick 20. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That Mastromanno pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 19 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell slipping to the 53rd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker at the 84th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Hayden Conner
Value said wait; Hayden Conner in No. 119 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at Round 5, Pick 19 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick235 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno in pick 235 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
