Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B-.

The Buccaneers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Akheem Mesidor at the 200th pick regardless, 63 picks early.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Green.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyreak Sapp
They jumped the gun on Tyreak Sapp, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick54 Rnd2 Joe Royer
Joe Royer at pick 54 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 David Bailey
The board had David Bailey higher than the Round 3 slot, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney at the 122nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A tidy bit of business in slot 161, where Taylen Green graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in the 200th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
