Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Emmanwori: B.

When a board-topper like Nick Emmanwori slides to the Round 2 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Buccaneers did not. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

They are betting Nash proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Mukuba while a need in offensive lineman, tight end and other spots stayed open.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In the 31st overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at pick 53 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They bypassed pressing needs at offensive lineman, tight end and other spots to take Andrew Mukuba, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at pick No. 95 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
Good price on Chimere Dike in Round 4, Pick 7, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 121 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the 157th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in pick No. 206 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
A clean, defensible pick in the 235th overall pick with a little surplus value in Ja'Corey Brooks. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
