Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Buccaneers, and a C+ to match.

The Buccaneers went off the board in a big way for Addison West, 43 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Parrish falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Hit on Jihaad Campbell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at No. 53 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jermari Harris
They went early on Jermari Harris in the 84th pick, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 19 on Jeffrey Bassa, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick158 Rnd5 Addison West
They left a pile of value on the table to take Addison West this early at the 158th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jacob Parrish
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jacob Parrish at pick No. 237. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
