Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Buccaneers, and a B to prove it.

Everything else got attention, and interior defensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Buccaneers to leave a draft. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In No. 19 they get a mismatch in the passing game. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in the 38th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at pick 77 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick157 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at pick No. 157 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno in Round 7, Pick 19 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
