Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Buccaneers started one anyway for Ahmed Hassanein, 100 picks ahead of schedule. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Tight end was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
They paid up for Bradyn Swinson at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Good price on Elijah Arroyo in pick 84, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
They talked themselves into Ahmed Hassanein at No. 120, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at slot 158 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at the 237th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
