Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Lassiter: B.

The board owed the Buccaneers one, and it paid up: Kamari Lassiter, the No. 60 name on the board, sitting there at No. 89 like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Gore Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 27 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
They took Adisa Isaac at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
You do not let a cornerback like Kamari Lassiter reach the 89th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Fair-plus on Dominick Puni, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Good price on Johnny Wilson in slot 125, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
They read the board right and Kimani Vidal was the payoff at the 220th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Nothing to complain about; Darius Muasau went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick246 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They reached a country mile for Frank Gore Jr. at Round 7, Pick 26, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
