Starchychaff DRAFTING FOR THEBuccaneers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall

FutureB-
The Buccaneers did enough to get by: C+. The Cameron Rising selection is the head-turner. The Buccaneers reached 86 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.
That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
If Nic Scourton and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Nic Scourton
In pick No. 13 they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick45
Rnd2
Danny Stutsman
They paid a round early for Danny Stutsman in No. 45, more than the board wanted. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick77
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
They left a pile of value on the table to take Germie Bernard this early at pick 77. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109
Rnd4
Joshua Gray
A reach for Joshua Gray in Round 4, Pick 13; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in slot 141 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205
Rnd7
Cameron Rising
They reached a country mile for Cameron Rising at the 205th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
