Kev05555 DRAFTING FOR THEBuccaneers

Draft Grade — Buccaneers

The Buccaneers landed square in the muddy middle: C+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Ricardo Hallman; the Buccaneers did not wait, grabbing him 117 spots ahead at No. 195. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.
Lawrence at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Joshua Josephs
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick46
Rnd2
Max Klare
This one needs a full-page explanation: Max Klare in pick No. 46, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77
Rnd3
Josiah Trotter
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Josiah Trotter worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116
Rnd4
Malachi Lawrence
They robbed the room for Malachi Lawrence here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155
Rnd5
Mason Reiger
Mason Reiger at pick 155 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195
Rnd6
Ricardo Hallman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ricardo Hallman this early at slot 195. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jalen Huskey
Value said wait; Jalen Huskey in slot 229 says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
