Draft Grade — Buccaneers

Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 22: the Buccaneers steal Higgins and grade out a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Buccaneers were there to profit. Jay Higgins, the No. 125 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 236.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In No. 20 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 51st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They will replay Kaleb Johnson at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at pick 121 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Taking Mason Taylor in pick No. 154 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 236th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
