Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
Nobody dealt better than the Buccaneers this weekend: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Buccaneers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They banked enough surplus on Johnson to cover a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Jourdan Lewis pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 David Stone
In the 15th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jamari Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the 46th pick, where Jamari Johnson graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jyaire Hill
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jyaire Hill in slot 77. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick100 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
A slide stopped in No. 100, with Kade Pieper worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
