Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Walker fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jalon Walker slide, and the Buccaneers were the ones holding the card at the 56th overall pick. Highway robbery.

The cost of the Wohler reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 19 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick84 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in pick 84 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They read the board right and Jordan Phillips was the payoff at pick No. 121. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at slot 157 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
They talked themselves into Hunter Wohler at the 235th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
