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

The Buccaneers went off the board in a big way for Eric Gentry, 106 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Slaughter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
R Mason Thomas in the 23rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jake Slaughter in Round 2, Pick 22. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
Value with a capital V on A'Mauri Washington in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott is a better player than No. 124 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at pick 163 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Roderick Kearney
A wild overpay on Roderick Kearney in slot 200, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A real head-scratcher, Eric Gentry in No. 235 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
