Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Buccaneers, and a B- to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tommy Mellott at pick 235, a reach of 143 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bond.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 19th pick they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Value with a capital V on Jihaad Campbell in Round 2, Pick 21, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 88, where Isaiah Bond graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
No drama and no debate, Mello Dotson went about where he belonged in slot 127. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in No. 157 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick190 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
The board had Cobee Bryant higher than the 190th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
Tommy Mellott at Round 7, Pick 19 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
