Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in Round 3, Pick 24: the Buccaneers steal Amegadjie and grade out a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Buccaneers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Amegadjie at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The cost of the Van Pran reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
No drama and no debate, Adisa Isaac went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A reach for Sedrick Van Pran in slot 57; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at No. 70 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 87th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine is a better player than the 89th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 92 with a little surplus value in Jonah Elliss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They let Jaden Hicks come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 97 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at slot 125, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They paid sticker price for Jordan Travis in No. 174, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the 217th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
