Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers.

Some picks age like wine; Pat Coogan at pick No. 229 will need to, sitting 30 spots clear of his grade.

With tight end, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
A reach for Matayo Uiagalelei in slot 15; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick46 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen in the 46th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick77 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
By-the-book stuff, Malik Muhammad at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
A curious use of pick No. 116. Tight end, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Jaishawn Barham did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in the 153rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
They went early on Le'Veon Moss in pick 195, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in Round 7, Pick 13 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
