Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Dial fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Call it larceny. Marcellas Dial sat on the board until pick 244, and the Buccaneers did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Sinnott left real value on the table behind him. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 26 they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Junior Colson
The board had Junior Colson higher than the 89th overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in Round 6, Pick 29 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
Somehow Marcellas Dial was still sitting there in No. 244, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson in the 255th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
