Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Smith should have been long gone. The Buccaneers pounced, and earned a B.

Somebody in the 196th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Buccaneers sat still while Brashard Smith, the No. 100 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Rogers pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Spending an early pick on linebacker with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 19 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 21, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Barrett Carter in No. 91 leaves interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick122 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
They robbed the room for Azareye'h Thomas here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in pick 127 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick181 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Taking Sonny Styles in the 181st pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick196 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
They barely believed it either: Brashard Smith still on the board at slot 196. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Will Rogers
Will Rogers at the 235th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
