Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Buccaneers torched the value chart for Brian Ugwu, taking him 185 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The Fannin Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In No. 19 they get a press-man option on the boundary, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick53 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They took Donovan Ezeiruaku at par in pick 53, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Green
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Mike Green in the 84th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Fannin Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
Brian Ugwu at pick No. 235 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
