Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Buccaneers a B-, Hecht and all.

The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Sam Hecht fell into No. 116. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 15th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 14, with CJ Allen worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
The board fumbled Sam Hecht all the way to slot 116, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
They did well to land Demond Claiborne in pick 155, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Somehow Ted Hurst was still sitting there in the 195th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon slid further than he should have, and pick No. 229 is lovely value for the cornerback. A need, and now a little less of one.
