Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Buccaneers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 229 on Ahmaad Moses a full 64 spots early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Prysock pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 15 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
A conviction pick on Gabe Jacas at the 46th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at slot 77 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in No. 116 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
Reggie Virgil in the 155th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ahmaad Moses
Ahmaad Moses at pick 229 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
