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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Buccaneers would have aced it. Hykeem Williams at pick 234 is 52 spots clear of where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

On value alone, Haulcy makes the weekend a net positive. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 26 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
A conviction pick on Lee Hunter at pick No. 46 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Taking Jadarian Price in pick 77 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at the 82nd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in Round 3, Pick 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick116 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly slid further than he should have, and pick 116 is lovely value for the tight end. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
By-the-book stuff, Davison Igbinosun at the 151st pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
They went early on Nadame Tucker in No. 153, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Nick Barrett
Nick Barrett in slot 214 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
A reach for Raylen Wilson in the 220th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas in Round 7, Pick 13 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
They talked themselves into Hykeem Williams at pick No. 234, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
