Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: 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 Eric Gentry in slot 217. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Malik Muhammad
In No. 32 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson slid further than he should have, and the 122nd pick is lovely value for the linebacker. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick200 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
A reach on J.C. Davis in pick No. 200; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in Round 7, Pick 1 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Troy Bowles
This one needs a full-page explanation: Troy Bowles in slot 235, miles early. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
