Tbalogh DRAFTING FOR THEBuccaneers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B. The Buccaneers clearly saw something nobody else did in Carson Steele, taking him 80 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The McKinstry steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 26th pick they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 57th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89
Rnd3
Max Melton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Melton in No. 89. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick No. 125 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220
Rnd6
M.J. Devonshire
They barely believed it either: M.J. Devonshire still on the board at slot 220. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246
Rnd7
Carson Steele
They left a pile of value on the table to take Carson Steele this early at pick No. 246. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
