Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 235 lands the Buccaneers a B-, White III and all.

Call it larceny. Ricky White III sat on the board until the 235th pick, and the Buccaneers did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will need Campbell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Simon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In pick No. 19 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick54 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Nothing to complain about; Trey Amos went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Maxwell Hairston worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cody Simon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Cody Simon while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nick Nash at slot 157 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ricky White III
The board fumbled Ricky White III all the way to No. 235, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
