Starchychaff DRAFTING FOR THEBuccaneers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
C+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Buccaneers, and a C+ to match. The Buccaneers spent real capital to be 62 picks early on Davin Vann, and the board is going to hold them to it. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.
A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Harold Perkins Jr.
In No. 13 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77
Rnd3
J. Michael Sturdivant
They paid up for J. Michael Sturdivant at Round 3, Pick 13 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109
Rnd4
Joshua Gray
A reach for Joshua Gray in the 109th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141
Rnd5
Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at pick 141 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick205
Rnd7
Davin Vann
Davin Vann at pick No. 205 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
