Draft Grade — Buccaneers

FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B-. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Max Llewellyn in pick 116, a good 28 spots before the room expected him. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Peter Woods
In the 15th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick46
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at pick No. 46 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Max Klare
Max Klare in the 77th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116
Rnd4
Max Llewellyn
They talked themselves into Max Llewellyn at slot 116, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
They liked Bryce Boettcher enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 153. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick193
Rnd6
Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jalen Huskey
Good price on Jalen Huskey in slot 229, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
