Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Washington: B.

The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tahj Washington fell into the Round 7 slot. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Anthony left real value on the table behind him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick No. 26 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They read the board right and Cooper Beebe was the payoff at slot 57. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 DJ James
Circle this one: DJ James at the 89th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Austin Booker
They let Austin Booker come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in the 125th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd6 Daijahn Anthony
They paid up for Daijahn Anthony at pick 220 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in No. 246 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
