Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Buccaneers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-.

Nobody else had Phillip Webb anywhere near pick No. 200. The Buccaneers did, by 90 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Loveland. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 20 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
They robbed the room for Colston Loveland here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Azareye'h Thomas in the 122nd overall pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
The board had Luke Kandra higher than the 123rd pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in slot 124 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
This one needs a full-page explanation: Phillip Webb in pick No. 200, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236 Rnd7 Garrett Greene
Garrett Greene at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
