Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Buccaneers and Stone: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. David Stone had no business being available in slot 46, and the Buccaneers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Johnson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson in the 15th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 David Stone
They barely believed it either: David Stone still on the board at slot 46. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Brandon Baker
They paid sticker price for Brandon Baker in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
