Draft Grade — Buccaneers

FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Schwesinger fall and pounced. Final grade: B+. You build a draft on nights like this. Carson Schwesinger had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 19, and the Buccaneers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Bowman Jr. while a need in running back stayed open.
They will need Cook to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In the 25th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot.
Pick55
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
They read the board right and Jihaad Campbell was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
Fair-plus on Azareye'h Thomas, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84
Rnd3
Emeka Egbuka
They barely believed it either: Emeka Egbuka still on the board at slot 84. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Andrew Mukuba in Round 3, Pick 31. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
A slide stopped in No. 121, with Jared Wilson worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Billy Bowman Jr. in the 125th pick leaves running back for later.
Pick157
Rnd5
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in pick 157 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235
Rnd7
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at slot 235 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick236
Rnd7
Mitchell Evans
Circle this one: Mitchell Evans at pick No. 236 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255
Rnd7
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at No. 255 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257
Rnd7
Brady Cook
Brady Cook at Round 7, Pick 41 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
