Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Buccaneers took Oscar Delp at the Round 4 slot, roughly 113 spots before his name belonged.

Getting Carroll where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They took Jonah Savaiinaea at par in the 46th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at Round 3, Pick 36 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad in pick No. 114 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oscar Delp well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in No. 153 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick205 Rnd6 Aubrey Burks
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aubrey Burks. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick233 Rnd7 Quinn Carroll
They barely believed it either: Quinn Carroll still on the board at the 233rd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
