Alexokf DRAFTING FOR THEBuccaneers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B-. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Vernon Broughton, 29 picks early at the Round 5 slot. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. Getting Watts where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Mike Green
In pick 19 they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
A tidy bit of business in slot 53, where Xavier Watts graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick84
Rnd3
Darien Porter
They did well to land Darien Porter in Round 3, Pick 20, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 121st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick157
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in No. 157 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
