Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Vernon Broughton at No. 157 will need to, sitting 29 spots clear of his grade.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 19th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value.
Pick53 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Ezeiruaku at No. 53 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick 84 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A straight-up fair deal on Jeffrey Bassa at the 121st pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick157 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Vernon Broughton in slot 157, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
