Draft Grade — Buccaneers

Larceny in slot 233 lands the Buccaneers a C, Foster and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Bryce Foster slide, and the Buccaneers were the ones holding the card at pick 233. Highway robbery.

The Walker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will answer for taking linebacker early while interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots went begging.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

If Jay Higgins and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jay Higgins
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a green-dot type in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Domani Jackson
They went early on Domani Jackson in the 46th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Value said wait; Jalon Walker in pick 81 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
A curious use of the 117th pick. Interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Danny Stutsman did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Antonio Williams
A real head-scratcher, Antonio Williams in pick No. 153 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at slot 233 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
