Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall D-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesF FutureB-
The Buccaneers bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Buccaneers clearly saw something nobody else did in Davison Igbinosun, taking him 76 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

With interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. The Starks pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick 31 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jihaad Campbell adds a linebacker and leaves interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick84 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
They went early on Azareye'h Thomas in No. 84, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A want over a need in the 131st overall pick: Lathan Ransom adds a safety while interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick137 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
They talked themselves into Davison Igbinosun at slot 137, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ricky White III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ricky White III in No. 156, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at slot 235 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
