Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Ryan Watts selection is the head-turner. The Buccaneers reached 108 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Hit on Darius Robinson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In pick 26 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in No. 57, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots open.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ryan Watts
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ryan Watts. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
They reached a country mile for Emani Bailey at Round 6, Pick 45, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Devin Leary
A wild overpay on Devin Leary in pick No. 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
