Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Buccaneers put a flag in the ground for Myles Cole, 24 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. However the rest shakes out, Barton at that price is a win they earned. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 26 they get a press-man option on the boundary. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in pick 58 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
A conviction pick on Michael Pratt at slot 89 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Good price on Darius Robinson in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
No edge and no loss on Aki Ogunbiyi in the 204th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Fair-plus on Myles Harden, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Myles Cole
They talked themselves into Myles Cole at No. 255, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
