Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA- FutureD-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Stutsman. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Danny Stutsman, the No. 95 name on the board, stolen at the 166th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In pick No. 16 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value.
Pick26 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Benjamin Morrison
They barely believed it either: Benjamin Morrison still on the board at pick 117. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the 166th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach slot 232 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick239 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
They will replay Brant Kuithe at No. 239 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
