Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedC+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Watts fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Buccaneers watched Xavier Watts slide 50 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

If White III pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Spending an early pick on linebacker with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 28 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 45th pick on Jihaad Campbell with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick48 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick No. 98 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick115 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
They let Azareye'h Thomas come to them and pounced at slot 115. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A curious use of Round 4, Pick 32. Interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Lathan Ransom did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at the 149th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
