Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 125 lands the Buccaneers a B, Isaac and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Adisa Isaac at No. 125 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 26 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that.
Pick57 Rnd2 Brock Bowers
The board fumbled Brock Bowers all the way to Round 2, Pick 25, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 DJ James
Somehow DJ James was still sitting there in the 89th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. still on the board at the Round 3 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at slot 125 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nathaniel Watson at No. 220. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Trente Jones in pick No. 246 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
