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

The Buccaneers bet big and early on Patrick Payton, 53 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Lance steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the Round 1 slot they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in No. 46 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick77 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in Round 3, Pick 13 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They robbed the room for Bryce Lance here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
They read the board right and Harold Perkins Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 141. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kaytron Allen in the 155th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
They talked themselves into Patrick Payton at the 195th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall at No. 229 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
