Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureC-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Buccaneers: C+.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Buccaneers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to interior defensive lineman, which was the need that mattered most.

The Davis pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Every board in the league had Barham lower, and that gap is the story.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In slot 22 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick86 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keon Sabb in the 86th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis is a better player than pick No. 122 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in No. 161 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick200 Rnd6 Avery Johnson
They paid sticker price for Avery Johnson in pick 200, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dante Dowdell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dante Dowdell at the 235th pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
