Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Buccaneers spent real capital to be 37 picks early on Jah Joyner, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Arroyo.

Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
Nothing to complain about; Shemar Stewart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick53 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
A straight-up fair deal on Josaiah Stewart at slot 53, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They let Elijah Arroyo come to them and pounced at the 84th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A tidy little value on O'Donnell Fortune in the 157th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in No. 235 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
