Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers won the night they stopped Warren from sliding. Grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Buccaneers were there to profit. Tyler Warren, the No. 14 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 53rd pick.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Webb left real value on the table behind him. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 19th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in No. 53, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They did well to land Maxwell Hairston in pick 84, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in pick No. 120, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick158 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the 158th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick237 Rnd7 Clay Webb
They went early on Clay Webb in slot 237, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
