Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Buccaneers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Buccaneers spent pick 200 on Troy Bowles, a name the board had a full 97 spots lower. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

The Taaffe steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the 22nd overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in slot 86 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at the 122nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Lawson Luckie
A big swing on Lawson Luckie at pick No. 161, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Troy Bowles
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Troy Bowles well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dante Moore
Dante Moore in Round 7, Pick 19 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
