Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Buccaneers, and a B to prove it.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Buccaneers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to interior defensive lineman, which was the need that mattered most.

Taylor 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. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Good price on Chris Braswell in the 57th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton slipping to pick No. 89 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum slid further than he should have, and pick 92 is lovely value for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
A clean, defensible pick in No. 125 with a little surplus value in Hunter Nourzad. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 220 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Trey Taylor for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
