Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B.

The Oronde Gadsden II selection is the head-turner. The Buccaneers reached 23 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Marshall Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In pick No. 13 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Evan Stewart
They liked Evan Stewart enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 13. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at slot 109 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
No edge and no loss on Deontae Lawson in pick 155; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick205 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 205th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
