Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Buccaneers let Warren fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tyler Warren, the No. 45 name on the board, stolen at Round 4, Pick 20. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Griffith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. It is not that Campbell is a bad player; it is that the Buccaneers had louder needs to answer first. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In slot 22 they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to Round 2, Pick 19, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A curious use of pick 83. Offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Jihaad Campbell did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
Value said wait; Mansoor Delane in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at pick No. 121. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192 Rnd6 Samuel Brown
They reached a country mile for Samuel Brown at the 192nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in No. 235, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
