Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Marshawn Kneeland selection is the head-turner. The Buccaneers reached 23 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
Value said wait; Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in slot 89, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They went early on Cole Bishop in the 92nd pick, and the value did not follow. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in pick 125, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at pick No. 220 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick246 Rnd7 Emani Bailey
They paid up for Emani Bailey at the 246th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
