Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Edwards. Final grade: B-.

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Buccaneers sat still while Donovan Edwards, the No. 209 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Oladejo reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 19 they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in slot 53 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jared Ivey in the Round 3 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They reached into another round for Oluwafemi Oladejo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They did well to land Nick Nash in the 157th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Edwards at pick No. 235 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
