Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Kamran James at the Round 7 slot is 85 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

On value alone, Lew makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Nothing to complain about; Jeremiyah Love went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Good price on CJ Allen in the 44th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Connor Lew
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 75 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 C.J. Fite
Quietly one of the better values of the day, C.J. Fite at pick 113. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jacob Rodriguez. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick192 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Value with a capital V on Taylen Green in Round 6, Pick 11, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kamran James
They talked themselves into Kamran James at the 229th pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
