Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers fought the board and lost. D+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Buccaneers took Mitchell Melton at pick 15, roughly 390 spots before his name belonged. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

Landing Coleman that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mitchell Melton
In pick No. 15 they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick46 Rnd2 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith at the 46th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick77 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in No. 77 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
They reached a country mile for Tanner Koziol at the 116th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Skyler Gill-Howard worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jonah Coleman
You do not let a running back like Jonah Coleman reach pick 195 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin in pick 229 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
