Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 235th overall pick: the Buccaneers steal Dike and grade out a C+.

The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Chimere Dike fell into Round 7, Pick 19.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. If Campbell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

It is not that Simon is a bad player; it is that the Buccaneers had louder needs to answer first.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In No. 19 they get a three-down second-level presence, a steep price for the projection.
Pick53 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maxwell Hairston well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 84 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cody Simon at linebacker with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash is a better player than the 157th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
Somehow Chimere Dike was still sitting there in pick 235, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
