Grand theft in the 246th pick: the Buccaneers steal Chambers and grade out a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Steele Chambers had no business being available in No. 246, and the Buccaneers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Nice patience on Cooper Beebe, who had no business lasting to the 57th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in pick 89 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in the 92nd overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots sat open.
Pick220 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They paid a round early for Frank Gore Jr. in No. 220, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Somehow Steele Chambers was still sitting there in pick No. 246, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
