Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Buccaneers took Kalil Alexander a full 61 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Getting Allen where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In slot 15 they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all.
Pick46 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at pick No. 46 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick77 Rnd3 Sam Roush
A reach on Sam Roush in Round 3, Pick 13; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mikail Kamara well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nyjalik Kelly
Nyjalik Kelly at No. 153 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Value with a capital V on Xavier Nwankpa in pick 193, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kalil Alexander in the 229th pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
