Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers won the night they stopped Beck from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Carson Beck, the No. 76 name on the board, stolen at slot 122.

Reaching for Delp left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Malik Muhammad
In pick No. 22 they get a potential shutdown corner. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at the 54th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86 Rnd3 Oscar Delp
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oscar Delp well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Carson Beck
Carson Beck at pick 122 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Khalil Barnes
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khalil Barnes in the Round 5 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick200 Rnd6 J.Michael Sturdivant
A tidy little value on J.Michael Sturdivant in slot 200, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dante Dowdell
The board had Dante Dowdell higher than No. 235, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
