Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB+
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Buccaneers did exactly that with Zach Frazier in pick No. 80. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Landing Hart that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 24 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Javon Foster
They took Javon Foster at par in pick 42, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick53 Rnd2 Trey Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at the 53rd pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 James Williams
James Williams at the 74th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick80 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
A real head-scratcher, Zach Frazier in pick No. 80 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 121st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 J. Michael Sturdivant
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 158 with a little surplus value in J. Michael Sturdivant. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Hart at No. 188. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
By-the-book stuff, Rasheen Ali at pick 220 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
A conviction pick on Xavier Truss at slot 240 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
