Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Jenkins should have been long gone. The Buccaneers pounced, and earned a B-.

Call it larceny. Kris Jenkins sat on the board until No. 89, and the Buccaneers did not need to be asked twice.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Jennings pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Somehow Kool-Aid McKinstry was still sitting there in the 57th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at slot 89 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Nothing to complain about; Dadrion Taylor-Demerson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick125 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A clean, defensible pick in No. 125 with a little surplus value in Blake Fisher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd6 Donovan Jennings
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Jennings this early at pick 220. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
A reach for Tyrice Knight in the 246th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
