Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers cashed the board's mistake on Johnson: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cornelius Johnson, the No. 187 name on the board, stolen at pick 246. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jackson Powers-Johnson went about where he belonged in slot 26. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 57th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick89 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 89 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
They paid sticker price for Marshawn Kneeland in the 92nd pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick No. 125 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Frank Gore Jr. at Round 6, Pick 45, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
