Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Buccaneers turned the phones into found money: B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Buccaneers took Troy Bowles a full 94 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The Devin Lloyd deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In slot 22 they get a press-man option on the boundary. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A clean, defensible pick in pick 54 with a little surplus value in Caleb Banks. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
Value with a capital V on Keon Sabb in the 86th pick, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick161 Rnd5 Cameron Calhoun
They did well to land Cameron Calhoun in pick No. 161, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Troy Bowles
They left a pile of value on the table to take Troy Bowles this early at No. 200. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick235 Rnd7 Solomon Tuliaupupu
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Solomon Tuliaupupu. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
