Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Buccaneers: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Max Brosmer; the Buccaneers did not wait, grabbing him 134 spots ahead at pick No. 181. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 19th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 55th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
By-the-book stuff, Gunnar Helm at No. 84 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at slot 121 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick157 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Max Brosmer
Value said wait; Max Brosmer in Round 6, Pick 5 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
No edge and no loss on Jabbar Muhammad in Round 7, Pick 19; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
