Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Taaffe. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Michael Taaffe slide, and the Buccaneers were the ones holding the card at pick 116. Highway robbery.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. With tight end, cornerback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Adding Maxx Crosby by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at pick 15 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jacob Rodriguez adds a linebacker and leaves tight end, cornerback and other spots untouched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Michael Taaffe
They barely believed it either: Michael Taaffe still on the board at the Round 4 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick155 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
A straight-up fair deal on Zxavian Harris at Round 5, Pick 15, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Keagen Trost
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Keagen Trost in pick No. 195. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister in the 229th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
