Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Buccaneers took Devin Leary at the 251st pick, roughly 40 spots before his name belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Oladapo pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They paid sticker price for Kingsley Suamataia in pick 58, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jaylen Wright
A reach for Jaylen Wright in the 64th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in the 89th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in slot 135 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Circle this one: Kitan Oladapo at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick203 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in No. 203 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dylan McMahon this early at slot 244. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251 Rnd7 Devin Leary
They reached into another round for Devin Leary, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A reach on Eyabi Okie-Anoma in pick 255; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
