Unit Grades

SI.com's NFL personnel expert Michael Lombardi evaluates the Buccaneers' units.

QB B
Deep and experienced, but long-term solution still has to be found.

RB B
Graham has emerged as the best of a talented bunch.

WR B
Anyone seen Michael Clayton? Bucs still rely on vet Galloway.

TE C
Mixed bag; Jerramy Stevens is skilled but inconsistent.

OL C+
With Luke Petitgout gone, need to find a permanent left tackle.

DL B
Young, talented; Adams and Greg White are rising rush stars.

LB B
Ruud has proved to be missing link and sets the defensive tone.

DB A
Boosted its safety play, which is the key to the defense.

ST B
Roster speed and talent allow them to cover and make plays.
