Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers.

Some picks age like wine; Mikail Kamara at Round 4, Pick 16 will need to, sitting 29 spots clear of his grade.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Stowers. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In pick 15 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him.
Pick46 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen is a better player than slot 46 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick77 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Circle this one: Eli Stowers at the 77th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
A wild overpay on Mikail Kamara in pick No. 116, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in the 155th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 195 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey in pick 229 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
