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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Buccaneers started one anyway for Mycah Pittman, 135 picks ahead of schedule. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bailey.

The Jermaine Johnson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 A.J. Harris
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 David Bailey
David Bailey in Round 3, Pick 22 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Lawson Luckie
They talked themselves into Lawson Luckie at pick 122, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd5 Mark Fletcher Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 161 with a little surplus value in Mark Fletcher Jr.. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 200th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick235 Rnd7 Mycah Pittman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mycah Pittman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
