Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Hadden should have been long gone. The Buccaneers pounced, and earned a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kamal Hadden, the No. 138 name on the board, stolen at the 204th overall pick.

If Dix Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 58. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ray Davis
Ray Davis at Round 3, Pick 26 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They did well to land Sataoa Laumea in the 126th pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They barely believed it either: Kamal Hadden still on the board at pick 204. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A wild overpay on Matthew Jones in pick No. 220, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Stephen Dix Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Stephen Dix Jr. in slot 247 is miles ahead of his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
