Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
The Buccaneers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Xavian Sorey Jr. in Round 6, Pick 14, a good 79 spots before the room expected him.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Landing McNeil-Warren that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In pick No. 18 they get a lockdown presence outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Romello Height
Romello Height in the 38th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren slipping to Round 3, Pick 13 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick153 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant in No. 153 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193 Rnd6 Xavian Sorey Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavian Sorey Jr.. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick229 Rnd7 PJ Williams
No edge and no loss on PJ Williams in slot 229; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Kamran James
Value said wait; Kamran James in the 234th pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
