Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Buccaneers.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Buccaneers spent the 228th overall pick on DeSean Bishop, a name most had 77 spots down the list. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Lopa at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
A straight-up fair deal on Dylan Stewart at the 6th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick36 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ashton Hampton
Ashton Hampton at pick 68 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Reed Harris
This one needs a full-page explanation: Reed Harris in Round 3, Pick 7, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108 Rnd4 Samson Okunlola
A quiet steal in pick No. 108: Samson Okunlola for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in the 109th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142 Rnd5 Kingston Lopa
You do not let a safety like Kingston Lopa reach No. 142 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick184 Rnd6 Nicholas Rodriguez
Taking Nicholas Rodriguez in slot 184 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick228 Rnd7 DeSean Bishop
DeSean Bishop at pick No. 228 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
