Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Quintayvious Hutchins at pick 155, a reach of 39 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Stowers at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In the 15th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all.
Pick46 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They let CJ Allen come to them and pounced at pick No. 46. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A tight end of that caliber at pick 77 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
Somehow Chandler Rivers was still sitting there in the 116th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Quintayvious Hutchins
They reached into another round for Quintayvious Hutchins, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Cameron in No. 195. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick 229 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
