Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesC FutureB
The Buccaneers did enough to get by: C+.

The Buccaneers went off the board in a big way for Eric Gentry, 97 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The Freeling pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

If A.J. Harris and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 A.J. Harris
A premium they did not need to pay, A.J. Harris a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the 82nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86 Rnd3 Patrick Payton
Value said wait; Patrick Payton in No. 86 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling slipping to the 122nd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at pick 161 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick No. 200 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
