Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC- FutureB
More right than wrong for the Buccaneers, and a B- to prove it.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Buccaneers were there to profit. Karene Reid, the No. 211 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 235. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Every board in the league had Walker lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the 30th pick they get an island corner. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A slide stopped in slot 53, with Xavier Watts worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 David Walker
This one needs a full-page explanation: David Walker in pick No. 84, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in slot 132, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick196 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 20. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Karene Reid
They barely believed it either: Karene Reid still on the board at pick 235. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
A tidy little value on Jabbar Muhammad in the 244th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
