Draft Grade — Buccaneers

Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Buccaneers. The Buccaneers spent real capital to be 22 picks early on Akheem Mesidor, and the board is going to hold them to it. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Akheem Mesidor
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a bendy edge with upside, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter in pick 46 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
