Alexokf DRAFTING FOR THEBuccaneers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
B
ValueA-
NeedB-
TradesB-
FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Walker: B. You build a draft on nights like this. Jalon Walker had no business being available in No. 53, and the Buccaneers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They are betting Thornton Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick53
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in slot 53 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 84 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
They took Jacob Parrish at par in the 121st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 157, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235
Rnd7
Robert Longerbeam
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Robert Longerbeam at the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
