Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Buccaneers: B-.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Buccaneers left interior defensive lineman untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

They are betting Scourton proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Etienne at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 19th pick they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Good price on Aireontae Ersery in No. 53, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mason Taylor in pick No. 84. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at pick 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in slot 157 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Shemar James
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shemar James. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
