Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA- FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Buccaneers and Collins: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Buccaneers watched Alfred Collins slide 165 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jahdae Barron at slot 30. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick53 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at pick 53. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Green
They robbed the room for Mike Green here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in Round 3, Pick 23, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick120 Rnd4 Armand Membou
The board fumbled Armand Membou all the way to pick No. 120, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in No. 123 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at the 134th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Somehow Demetrius Knight Jr. was still sitting there in the 158th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick221 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Alfred Collins reach pick 221 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at Round 7, Pick 19 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
