Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Anthony Colandrea in the 235th pick, a good 57 spots before the room expected him. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took York. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 A.J. Harris
A.J. Harris in the 33rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick54 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Taurean York
They robbed the room for Taurean York here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Nothing to complain about; Oscar Delp went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Zuhn III. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jalen Catalon
They reached into another round for Jalen Catalon, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick235 Rnd7 Anthony Colandrea
A real head-scratcher, Anthony Colandrea in Round 7, Pick 19 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
