Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in slot 220 lands the Buccaneers a B, Thrash and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jamari Thrash at slot 220 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Williams left real value on the table behind him.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dallas Turner. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Nice patience on Brian Thomas Jr., who had no business lasting to the 65th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A cornerback of that caliber at the 84th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in Round 4, Pick 1 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in slot 120; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick138 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 138 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick198 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Taking Connor Colby in pick 198 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
Circle this one: Jamari Thrash at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
They talked themselves into Miyan Williams at the 241st pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
