Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Lawson fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Buccaneers one, and it paid up: Deontae Lawson, the No. 54 name on the board, sitting there at Round 5, Pick 15 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Kamara pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Malachi Fields
This one needs a full-page explanation: Malachi Fields in pick 46, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
A wild overpay on Mikail Kamara in the 77th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Good price on Bishop Fitzgerald in pick No. 116, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick153 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Taking Deontae Lawson in No. 153 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick193 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
A quiet steal in slot 193: Dae'Quan Wright for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
By-the-book stuff, Jaren Kanak at the 229th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
