Alexokf DRAFTING FOR THEBuccaneers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Buccaneers

FutureB-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Emmanwori. Final grade: B-. Thirty-one other rooms let Nick Emmanwori slide, and the Buccaneers were the ones holding the card at the 53rd pick. Highway robbery. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
Thornton Jr. 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.
Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Mike Green
The board had cheaper options than Mike Green at the Round 1 slot, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick53
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 53rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Value with a capital V on Carson Schwesinger in the 84th pick, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick121
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in Round 4, Pick 19 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 157, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in No. 235 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
