Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
B-
ValueC-
NeedB-
TradesA-
FutureB-
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Buccaneers clearly saw something nobody else did in Mitchell Melton, taking him 136 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The Buccaneers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. The Wilson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the 33rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at pick 44 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick63
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Jacas this early at Round 2, Pick 31. The roster fit checks out.
Pick64
Rnd2
Cayden Green
Cayden Green at the 64th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Joe Royer
Joe Royer slipping to No. 78 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
The board had Malachi Fields higher than pick No. 86, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A straight-up fair deal on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at slot 99, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick101
Rnd4
Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
A big swing on Jacob Rodriguez at the 102nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Trey Moore
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Moore. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112
Rnd4
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at Round 4, Pick 12 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
No drama and no debate, Jaishawn Barham went about where he belonged in the 113th overall pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick128
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick No. 128 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150
Rnd5
Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick 150 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151
Rnd5
Zane Durant
They reached into another round for Zane Durant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154
Rnd5
Josh Moten
A wild overpay on Josh Moten in the 154th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
They paid a round early for Bryce Boettcher in the 155th pick, more than the board wanted. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick168
Rnd5
Lee Hunter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Lee Hunter in slot 168, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174
Rnd5
Bud Clark
They paid up for Bud Clark at pick 174 when waiting would have done the job. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick182
Rnd6
Oscar Delp
A tidy little value on Oscar Delp in No. 182, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183
Rnd6
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at Round 6, Pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick184
Rnd6
Rayshaun Benny
No edge and no loss on Rayshaun Benny in pick No. 184; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at Round 6, Pick 14 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213
Rnd6
Barion Brown
Barion Brown in slot 213 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214
Rnd6
Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. in the 214th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick215
Rnd6
PJ Williams
Value said wait; PJ Williams in No. 215 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218
Rnd7
Daevin Hobbs
The board had cheaper options than Daevin Hobbs at the 218th overall pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224
Rnd7
Mitchell Melton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mitchell Melton well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226
Rnd7
Solomon Tuliaupupu
A real head-scratcher, Solomon Tuliaupupu in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232
Rnd7
Dante Dowdell
They reached a country mile for Dante Dowdell at pick 232, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236
Rnd7
Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams at No. 236 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson slid further than he should have, and the 238th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
