Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC
The Buccaneers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Buccaneers reached some 42 spots for Brett Norfleet, and value like that does not grow back.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Getting Hecht where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Rodriguez pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at No. 46 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 77 on Jacob Rodriguez with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick102 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A want over a need in slot 102: Harold Perkins Jr. adds a linebacker while interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Hezekiah Masses
You do not let a cornerback like Hezekiah Masses reach the 155th overall pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Value with a capital V on Jeff Caldwell in pick No. 195, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brett Norfleet in the Round 7 slot, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
