Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Buccaneers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Buccaneers bet big and early on Mohamed Kamara, 40 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Lloyd pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 30 they get a lockdown presence outside. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the 57th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They jumped the gun on Zak Zinter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Fair-plus on Dominick Puni, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
They talked themselves into Mohamed Kamara at the 93rd pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 125 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the 220th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Bub Means
No edge and no loss on Bub Means in the 246th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
