Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Buccaneers a B.

The Derrick Moore selection is the head-turner. The Buccaneers reached 51 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Casey that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at slot 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick46 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at pick 46 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick53 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They read the board right and Sonny Styles was the payoff at the 53rd overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick62 Rnd2 Cayden Green
Value said wait; Cayden Green in pick No. 62 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Joe Royer
They paid sticker price for Joe Royer in No. 79, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
A.J. Harris slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kenyatta Jackson Jr.. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
They reached a country mile for Derrick Moore at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A tidy bit of business in No. 121, where Emmanuel McNeil-Warren graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick159 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
The board had cheaper options than Davison Igbinosun at the 159th pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bryce Boettcher in pick No. 162, miles early. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick163 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore in slot 163 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at pick 170 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173 Rnd5 Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles at the 173rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick183 Rnd6 Kage Casey
You do not let an offensive lineman like Kage Casey reach the 183rd overall pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick199 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
By-the-book stuff, Evan Stewart at the 199th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
Nothing to complain about; Oscar Delp went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Barion Brown
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barion Brown this early at pick 217. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
A big swing on Pat Coogan at Round 7, Pick 19, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
A premium they did not need to pay, Daevin Hobbs a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 PJ Williams
A wild overpay on PJ Williams in No. 238, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
