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

Some picks age like wine; Tyler Batty at Round 4, Pick 19 will need to, sitting 105 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That Higgins pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 19 they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all.
Pick53 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
By-the-book stuff, Josaiah Stewart at slot 53 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A straight-up fair deal on Denzel Burke at Round 3, Pick 20, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tyler Batty
A big swing on Tyler Batty at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They read the board right and Mitchell Evans was the payoff at the 158th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in pick 237 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
