Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jared Ivey; the Buccaneers did not wait, grabbing him 26 spots ahead at pick 53. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Brown pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 19th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at No. 53 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at pick No. 84 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Fair-plus on Denzel Burke, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Logan Brown at Round 5, Pick 19. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
They liked Zeek Biggers enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 235. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
