Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B.

The Buccaneers bet big and early on Riley Williams, 51 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

On value alone, Robertson makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 A.J. Harris
In slot 32 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
They barely believed it either: Jake Slaughter still on the board at pick No. 63. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
By-the-book stuff, Gabe Jacas at No. 95 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eugene Wilson III
Fair-plus on Eugene Wilson III, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ricardo Hallman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ricardo Hallman in the 211th overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Circle this one: Sawyer Robertson at pick No. 217 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Riley Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Riley Williams this early at No. 248. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
