Tryon A
Trask D+
Hainsey B+
Darden A
Britt B-
Wilcox A-
Stuard C+
These grades are based on value and team fits.
Tryon is going to easy slide into the #3 role as an edge rusher. Huge upgrade from what the Bucs had a year ago.
Trask is going to be a solid back up for years to come and compete with the Bucs drafted QB in 2023 for the Bucs starting job.
Hainsey is a much more technical blocker coming out of college than Cappa and also has played against better competition. Will compete year 1 on the interior and will probably play TE in jumbo packages.
Darden is the Bucs best pick of the draft. A return specialist and also a weapon you can use underneath to keep defenses honest. An upgrade over Mickens IMO and I hope he sticks because his upside is very good.
Britt is a classic downhill ILB that plays the run. Good depth and special teams potential. Doesn't have the speed that the Bucs usually value but his run stopping ability is important for the Bucs D scheme.
Wilcox another good value pick has the size and speed the Bucs want for a backup DB and will be asked to be a special teams ace while he develops his DB skills and footwork.
Stuard another special team ace drafted and will compete for a spot at LB. Most likely will stick on PS and will be developed if he shows potential.
Overall I like the Bucs draft sans the Trask pick. B+
