Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureA
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Buccaneers did exactly that with Mykel Williams in the 116th pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. However the rest shakes out, Jackson at that price is a win they earned. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Colston Loveland well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 13. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Lander Barton
Fair-plus on Lander Barton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at the 116th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
They paid up for Tez Johnson at pick No. 141 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Makari Paige
By-the-book stuff, Makari Paige at the 191st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
