Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Buccaneers: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Buccaneers spent No. 213 on Michael Harris, a name the board had a full 68 spots lower. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Muhammad. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Malik Muhammad
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 David Bailey
David Bailey in slot 54 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
A big swing on Tacario Davis at No. 71, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at the 131st pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick161 Rnd5 Lawson Luckie
A wild overpay on Lawson Luckie in Round 5, Pick 23, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Michael Harris
Michael Harris at pick 213 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick235 Rnd7 Micah Morris
This one needs a full-page explanation: Micah Morris in No. 235, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
