Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall

FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Buccaneers, and a B- to prove it. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Buccaneers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to interior defensive lineman, which was the need that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a disruptor off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
