Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers did enough to get by: C+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Buccaneers did exactly that with Stone Handy in the 84th overall pick. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Martinez. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 19 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dayon Hayes
They talked themselves into Dayon Hayes at the 53rd pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Stone Handy
A real head-scratcher, Stone Handy in pick No. 84 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at the 157th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at slot 235 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
