Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Nubin fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Tyler Nubin tumbling to the Buccaneers in the 59th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Powers-Johnson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 26 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They will replay Tyler Nubin at No. 59 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A slide stopped in pick No. 89, with Junior Colson worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Fair-plus on Kris Abrams-Draine, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 AJ Barner
Good price on AJ Barner in the 204th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in slot 244 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
You do not let a linebacker like Darius Muasau reach Round 7, Pick 35 and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
