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

The Buccaneers torched the value chart for Oluwafemi Oladejo, taking him 51 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Felton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 21 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in pick No. 53, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
No drama and no debate, Ozzy Trapilo went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 90th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They read the board right and Smael Mondon Jr. was the payoff at No. 121. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Somehow Tai Felton was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They did well to land Bhayshul Tuten in Round 5, Pick 19, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke Lachey this early at the 185th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A conviction pick on Nazir Stackhouse at pick 195 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They paid up for Teddye Buchanan at the 235th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
