Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesC FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Buccaneers.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jalen White, 221 picks early at pick 214. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

However the rest shakes out, Sanker at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

So much rides on Mike Green that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Mike Green
Mike Green in the 22nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They let Jihaad Campbell come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darien Porter
The board had Darien Porter higher than Round 3, Pick 20, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo slipping to the 121st overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in slot 157 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jalen White
A real head-scratcher, Jalen White in No. 214 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Seth Henigan
They reached into another round for Seth Henigan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
