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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Buccaneers started one anyway for Akheem Mesidor, 22 picks ahead of schedule. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In pick 15 they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Josiah Trotter
A reach on Josiah Trotter in Round 2, Pick 14; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dani Dennis-Sutton
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dani Dennis-Sutton. The roster fit checks out.
