Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureA-
Larceny in pick No. 188 lands the Buccaneers a B+, Mayes and all.

The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and BJ Mayes fell into Round 6, Pick 13.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Frazier reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The Odell Beckham Jr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 42 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the 61st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A conviction pick on Brenden Rice at the 74th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
A wild overpay on Zach Frazier in No. 110, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A premium they did not need to pay, Cade Stover a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in pick No. 124 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Malik Mustapha worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick188 Rnd6 BJ Mayes
They robbed the room for BJ Mayes here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd6 Carson Steele
No edge and no loss on Carson Steele in the 220th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
