Chuk DRAFTING FOR THEBuccaneers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Buccaneers

FutureB-
The Buccaneers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. Nobody had Kamran James this high, and it is not close. The Buccaneers reached 53 spots to get him at the 235th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
The Daniels pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
In slot 22 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at the 54th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jack Endries
They jumped the gun on Jack Endries, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Eric O'Neill
Eric O'Neill in the 122nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels at pick No. 200 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235
Rnd7
Kamran James
They talked themselves into Kamran James at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
