Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Buccaneers did not so much draft Dont'e Thornton Jr. as overpay for him, 26 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The Ransom steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mike Green
In slot 19 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early.
Pick53 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maxwell Hairston well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
They barely believed it either: Lathan Ransom still on the board at Round 4, Pick 19. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They talked themselves into Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 157, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Shemar James
They liked Shemar James enough to skip the value, taking him in the 235th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
