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

The Buccaneers bet big and early on Justin Eboigbe, 23 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Fashanu pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They let Chris Braswell come to them and pounced at slot 57. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 92 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
They liked Spencer Rattler enough to skip the value, taking him in the 108th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick114 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at Round 4, Pick 14 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick 125 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Fair-plus on Dwight McGlothern, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick 212 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford slipping to the 218th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick230 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A conviction pick on Josh Proctor at Round 7, Pick 10 that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
