Overall B-

ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-

The Buccaneers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Xavian Sorey Jr. at the 235th pick, a reach of 68 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Dennis-Sutton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick22 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love

In the 22nd overall pick they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter.

Pick54 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton

A tidy bit of business in No. 54, where Dani Dennis-Sutton graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.

Pick86 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds

By-the-book stuff, D'Angelo Ponds at pick 86 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick122 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu

Fair-plus on Iapani Laloulu, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.

Pick161 Rnd5 Daevin Hobbs

A real head-scratcher, Daevin Hobbs in the 161st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Pick200 Rnd6 Tony Grimes
