Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureC-
The jury is out on the Buccaneers. For now, C+.

The Gavin Bartholomew pick is the one that will follow the Buccaneers into the fall. They took him 67 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The veteran additions, Zaven Collins chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Mukuba at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 13th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value.
Pick45 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at pick No. 45 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 77 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick151 Rnd5 Gavin Bartholomew
A big swing on Gavin Bartholomew at Round 5, Pick 23, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
