Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Buccaneers: C+.

The Buccaneers torched the value chart for Akheem Mesidor, taking him 22 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Hit on Akheem Mesidor and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In the 15th overall pick they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Rodriguez at No. 46, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
