Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Buccaneers spent slot 121 on Antwaun Powell-Ryland, a name most had 37 spots down the list.

The Emmanwori value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 19 they get a lockdown presence outside. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at the 53rd overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Nice patience on Carson Schwesinger, who had no business lasting to the 84th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick121 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 157 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A clean, defensible pick in No. 235 with a little surplus value in Carson Vinson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
