Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Thor Griffith at the 237th pick. The Buccaneers jumped the board by 57 and dared it to prove them wrong.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Mike Green
In slot 23 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 53 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A clean, defensible pick in No. 84 with a little surplus value in Darien Porter. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 158th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick189 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at pick 189 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in the 237th pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
