Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Buccaneers torched the value chart for Patrick Payton, taking him 60 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Good price on CJ Allen in Round 2, Pick 16, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane at pick 80 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kenyon Sadiq
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kenyon Sadiq. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
They reached into another round for Patrick Payton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Terry Moore
They will replay Terry Moore at No. 161 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick194 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at the 194th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
