Draft Grade — Buccaneers

Grand theft in the 154th pick: the Buccaneers steal Lawson and grade out a B-.

The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Deontae Lawson fell into the 154th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They are betting Uiagalelei proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In No. 20 they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the 51st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
They will replay Colston Loveland at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They barely believed it either: Malachi Moore still on the board at slot 121. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick154 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Taking Deontae Lawson in pick 154 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick236 Rnd7 DJ Uiagalelei
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DJ Uiagalelei well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
