Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Buccaneers let McCoy fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Bru McCoy had no business being available in No. 220, and the Buccaneers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
They did well to land JC Latham in the 20th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick46 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
Good price on J.J. McCarthy in No. 46, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick60 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran is a better player than pick 74 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson slipping to slot 110 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick188 Rnd6 Steve Linton
Steve Linton in the 188th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Raheim Sanders in Round 6, Pick 17. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy at pick No. 220 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at Round 7, Pick 11 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
