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

For all the boxes ticked, the Buccaneers skipped the loudest one: interior defensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was.

If Puni pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in the 58th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A reach on Dominick Puni in the 89th pick; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick 126 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick204 Rnd6 Omar Speights
They paid sticker price for Omar Speights in No. 204, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick220 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at slot 220 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They liked Carson Steele enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 247. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
