Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

The Buccaneers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Adepoju Adebawore at No. 154 regardless, 50 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Banks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at the 46th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II at pick No. 77 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
They paid up for Michael Trigg at Round 4, Pick 16 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore at pick 154 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at slot 194 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
No edge and no loss on Fernando Carmona in No. 229; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
