Draft Grade — Buccaneers

ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Buccaneers and Emmanwori: B.

The board owed the Buccaneers one, and it paid up: Nick Emmanwori, the No. 19 name on the board, sitting there at pick 51 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the Ezeiruaku reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at Round 2, Pick 7 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 51st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A clean, defensible pick in slot 59 with a little surplus value in Alfred Collins. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick85 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They read the board right and Darien Porter was the payoff at pick No. 85. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 91st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard in No. 101 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at pick 121 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 25, where Anthony Belton graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
