Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers turned the phones into found money: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Buccaneers spent the 157th pick on Oluwafemi Oladejo, a name most had 83 spots down the list. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Kiser. The phones were where this weekend was really won. It is not that Schwesinger is a bad player; it is that the Buccaneers had louder needs to answer first.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Good price on Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 45, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick54 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They went early on Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 54th pick, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in No. 68 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
A tidy bit of business in the 73rd overall pick, where Azareye'h Thomas graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Carson Schwesinger with tight end, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick92 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
A clean, defensible pick in pick 92 with a little surplus value in Sebastian Castro. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick117 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They jumped the gun on Rylie Mills, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 121st pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A wild overpay on Cobee Bryant in pick No. 143, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A real head-scratcher, Oluwafemi Oladejo in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at slot 175 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at No. 180 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
A big swing on Carson Vinson at the 191st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in Round 6, Pick 37 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jonas Sanker
By-the-book stuff, Jonas Sanker at pick No. 215 squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jeremy Crawshaw
They paid a round early for Jeremy Crawshaw in Round 7, Pick 6, more than the board wanted. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick223 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
They read the board right and Ja'Corey Brooks was the payoff at the 234th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They reached a country mile for Nick Martin at No. 235, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Somehow Craig Woodson was still sitting there in the 241st pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
