Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Eugene Asante at slot 231. The Buccaneers jumped the board by 50 and dared it to prove them wrong. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Fisher at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jared Verse
No drama and no debate, Jared Verse went about where he belonged in slot 20. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick42 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the 42nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
A reach for Nazir Stackhouse in the 74th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Value with a capital V on Blake Fisher in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
They went early on Zach Frazier in No. 120, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
By-the-book stuff, Moose Muhammad III at Round 5, Pick 21 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at No. 168 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 Andrew Coker
A reach on Andrew Coker in pick 188; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd6 Erick All
They paid sticker price for Erick All in Round 6, Pick 45, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Eugene Asante
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eugene Asante in the 231st pick, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
