Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Buccaneers took Mikail Kamara at pick No. 77, roughly 36 spots before his name belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. That Allen pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In the 15th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early.
Pick46 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 14: CJ Allen for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mikail Kamara in the Round 3 slot, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly is a better player than pick No. 116 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A tidy little value on Kevin Coleman Jr. in slot 153, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander in No. 193 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fair-plus on Fernando Carmona, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
