Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Buccaneers took Antwaun Powell-Ryland at Round 4, Pick 19, roughly 37 spots before his name belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Watts pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The back end got a real overhaul.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In slot 19 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy bit of business in pick 53, where Xavier Watts graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Darien Porter in pick No. 84. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at No. 121 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They did well to land Nick Nash in the 157th pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
