Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The J.C. Davis selection is the head-turner. The Buccaneers reached 91 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That Franklin pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 19 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Blake Corum
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Blake Corum well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at Round 4, Pick 19 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 197th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd6 Ja'Had Carter
A wild overpay on Ja'Had Carter in slot 220, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick240 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin in the 240th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
