Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureB+
Grand theft in the Round 3 slot: the Buccaneers steal Laloulu and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Iapani Laloulu tumbling to the Buccaneers in pick No. 86 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Grimes left real value on the table behind him.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 A.J. Harris
A slide stopped in slot 41, with A.J. Harris worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick54 Rnd2 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in pick 54 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at No. 86 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Luke Hasz
Luke Hasz at pick No. 132 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jackson Arnold
They paid sticker price for Jackson Arnold in the 148th overall pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tony Grimes
A reach for Tony Grimes in the 214th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
