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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Elijah Roberts in slot 120, a good 52 spots before the room expected him. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

On value alone, Arnold makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick No. 19 they get a disruptor off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the 53rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elijah Arroyo in pick 84. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
They reached a country mile for Elijah Roberts at slot 120, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Steal is underselling it; Pat Bryant at Round 5, Pick 19 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
A safety of that caliber at No. 237 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
