Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Buccaneers, and a B- to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Buccaneers shredded theirs for Troy Bowles. He came off 105 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Beck to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
They did well to land Mansoor Delane in the 28th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen in pick No. 59 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zion Young
Fair-plus on Zion Young, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at No. 127 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu slid further than he should have, and pick 168 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They let Kage Casey come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick208 Rnd6 Carson Beck
They barely believed it either: Carson Beck still on the board at the 208th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212 Rnd6 Roderick Kearney
They left a pile of value on the table to take Roderick Kearney this early at pick No. 212. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243 Rnd7 Troy Bowles
A real head-scratcher, Troy Bowles in slot 243 is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
