Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Campbell. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

If Hudson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Lawson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 21 they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Kaleb Johnson graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 83 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick124 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 23 on Deontae Lawson, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kobe Hudson
A real head-scratcher, Kobe Hudson in the 157th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at pick 236 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
