Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA-
The Buccaneers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Buccaneers bet big and early on Troy Bowles, 97 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The Jackson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In No. 32 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 David Bailey
David Bailey at slot 57 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 R Mason Thomas
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on R Mason Thomas. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Daevin Hobbs
A wild overpay on Daevin Hobbs in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Domani Jackson at pick 161 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Troy Bowles
A real head-scratcher, Troy Bowles in the 200th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick222 Rnd7 Michael Harris
Michael Harris at pick No. 222 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes in Round 7, Pick 19 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
