Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers land in the muddy middle: C+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Buccaneers spent No. 53 on Jalin Conyers, a name most had 322 spots down the list. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Carter falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 19 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jalin Conyers
Jalin Conyers at pick 53 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Stone Handy
A big swing on Stone Handy at slot 84, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
No edge and no loss on Jacob Parrish in Round 4, Pick 19; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
They reached a country mile for Tyler Batty at the 158th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jacory Merritt
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacory Merritt in No. 237, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
