Overall C+

ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-

The Buccaneers won the night they stopped Johnson from sliding. Grade: C+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kaleb Johnson, pick 84, roughly 37 picks past where he belonged. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

They are betting Gadsden II proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick19 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau

In pick No. 19 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.

Pick53 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson

Donovan Jackson at slot 53 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

Pick84 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson

They barely believed it either: Kaleb Johnson still on the board at the Round 3 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.

Pick121 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.

They let Billy Bowman Jr. come to them and pounced at No. 121. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.

Pick157 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II

Oronde Gadsden II at Round 5, Pick 19 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
