Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA- FutureC+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Buccaneers took CJ West at pick No. 157, roughly 56 spots before his name belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

On value alone, Nash makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Ransom while a need in offensive lineman, tight end and other spots stayed open.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In pick No. 27 they get a green-dot type in the middle, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Trey Amos
No edge and no loss on Trey Amos in pick 53; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick59 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in slot 59 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No drama and no debate, Andrew Mukuba went about where he belonged in No. 84. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Lathan Ransom in the 121st overall pick leaves offensive lineman, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They bypassed pressing needs at offensive lineman, tight end and other spots to take Cody Simon, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick157 Rnd5 CJ West
They reached a country mile for CJ West at Round 5, Pick 19, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
