Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
C+
ValueC+
NeedB-

FutureB-
The Buccaneers did enough to get by: C+. There is a lot to like until you notice interior defensive lineman is still a hole. The Buccaneers never got to the one that mattered most. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.
That Umanmielen pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Campbell has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
Job largely done: tight end settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Jihaad Campbell
In No. 19 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, a steep price for the projection.
Pick53
Rnd2
Princely Umanmielen
The board fumbled Princely Umanmielen all the way to pick 53, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
No drama and no debate, Gunnar Helm went about where he belonged in the 84th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
