Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Buccaneers, and a C+ to match.

The Buccaneers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 153rd pick on Alfred Collins a full 75 spots early.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

So much rides on Harold Perkins Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In pick No. 15 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
A real head-scratcher, Ashton Gillotte in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They liked Elic Ayomanor enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 81. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in slot 117 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
They talked themselves into Alfred Collins at No. 153, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Aydan White
They paid sticker price for Aydan White in the 233rd overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
