Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Simon: B-.

When a board-topper like Cody Simon slides to the Round 5 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Buccaneers did not.

The Buccaneers indulged a want in Winston Jr. while a need in interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots stayed open. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They are betting Walker proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In slot 22 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though they paid up to get him.
Pick53 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Maxwell Hairston. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They took Andrew Mukuba at par in pick No. 84, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Kevin Winston Jr. while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick86 Rnd3 David Walker
They talked themselves into David Walker at the 86th pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A clean, defensible pick in pick 121 with a little surplus value in Jacob Parrish. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at No. 157 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 158th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick235 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
Taking Chimere Dike in No. 235 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
