Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Buccaneers won the night they stopped Haulcy from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and A.J. Haulcy fell into the 77th pick.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 22nd pick they get a sticky cover corner. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 CJ Allen
The board had CJ Allen higher than slot 46, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
The board fumbled A.J. Haulcy all the way to the 77th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in pick No. 116 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny in pick 193 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at Round 7, Pick 13 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
