Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Barton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Call it larceny. Graham Barton sat on the board until No. 57, and the Buccaneers did not need to be asked twice.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Gray to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The Buccaneers indulged a want in Eichenberg while a need in interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots stayed open. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In pick 31 they get a true top target, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James in the 89th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick No. 92 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Tommy Eichenberg while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick133 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in Round 4, Pick 33 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at the 220th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
The board fumbled Frank Gore Jr. all the way to slot 246, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
