Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Buccaneers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The R.J. Oben pick is the one that will follow the Buccaneers into the fall. They took him 117 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Mondon Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach pick 53 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They let Alfred Collins come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A conviction pick on Tez Johnson at slot 84 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in No. 89 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
A quiet steal in the 107th pick: Azareye'h Thomas for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at No. 116. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
They will replay Mason Taylor at pick 130 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick223 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A real head-scratcher, Micah Morris in pick No. 223 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for R.J. Oben. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
