Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Allen fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let LeQuint Allen slide, and the Buccaneers were the ones holding the card at slot 157. Highway robbery. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Taylor to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Tight end was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 19th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick53 Rnd2 Carson Schwesinger
They went early on Carson Schwesinger in slot 53, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick84 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
The board had cheaper options than Ashton Gillotte at Round 3, Pick 20, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in pick No. 121 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
Taking LeQuint Allen in the 157th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
