Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Buccaneers spent Round 5, Pick 15 on Vincent Anthony Jr., a name most had 49 spots down the list.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Anderson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In pick No. 15 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles is a better player than the 46th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick77 Rnd3 Max Klare
Max Klare at pick 77 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
A real head-scratcher, Malachi Lawrence in the 116th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
They reached into another round for Vincent Anthony Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
They let Aaron Anderson come to them and pounced at No. 195. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Quinten Joyner
Quinten Joyner in pick 229 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
