Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Buccaneers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Buccaneers went off the board in a big way for Eric O'Neill, 68 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. With offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The Gervon Dexter Sr. deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Josiah Trotter
They liked Josiah Trotter enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 46. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Jacob Rodriguez while clear needs at offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick116 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A tidy bit of business in slot 116, where Michael Trigg graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
Eric O'Neill at Round 6, Pick 14 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at the 229th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
