Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Buccaneers a B.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Buccaneers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Jones Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The Buccaneers paired the rookies with proven help, Skyy Moore leading the way. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the 13th pick they get a sticky cover corner. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Emery Jones Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emery Jones Jr. at Round 2, Pick 13. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp slipping to slot 87 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
They did well to land Jay Higgins in pick 109, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
