Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
C+
ValueD
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Buccaneers get a C+. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Julian Neal in pick 46, a good 30 spots before the room expected him. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
So much rides on Olaivavega Ioane that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 15 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46
Rnd2
Julian Neal
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Julian Neal well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
