Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Buccaneers: C+.

The Buccaneers went off the board in a big way for Ahmed Hassanein, 103 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him.
Pick53 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
They paid a round early for Bradyn Swinson in No. 53, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in slot 84 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
They talked themselves into Ahmed Hassanein at pick No. 120, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at the 158th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
