Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Hadden fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kamal Hadden fell into Round 6, Pick 45.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick No. 26 they get an island corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chris Braswell at the 57th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Value with a capital V on Renardo Green in Round 3, Pick 29, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick125 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick 125 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 220th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at slot 246 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
