Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Buccaneers let Taaffe fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Michael Taaffe tumbling to the Buccaneers in Round 3, Pick 22 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will need Grimes to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Dani Dennis-Sutton
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a disruptor off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen slid further than he should have, and No. 54 is lovely value for the linebacker. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick86 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Somehow Michael Taaffe was still sitting there in pick No. 86, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick122 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Oscar Delp at slot 122. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 Kevin Jennings
They barely believed it either: Kevin Jennings still on the board at the 198th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tony Grimes
They reached into another round for Tony Grimes, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
