Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Buccaneers bet big and early on Eric Gentry, 89 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Lawson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Adding Jaire Alexander by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Deontae Lawson
In the 32nd overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick64 Rnd2 R Mason Thomas
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for R Mason Thomas. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at Round 3, Pick 22 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Lawson Luckie
A real head-scratcher, Lawson Luckie in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick 200 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes at No. 235 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
