Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Buccaneers this weekend: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Buccaneers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The Styles pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback, edge rusher and other spots still on the board. That Styles pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Jonathan Allen gives the group a proven body among the projects.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 18 they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick46 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sonny Styles at linebacker with cornerback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick77 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
A slide stopped in slot 77, with Lee Hunter worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 97 leaves cornerback, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick116 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in the 116th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They paid a round early for DJ Campbell in the 153rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
They paid sticker price for Quinten Joyner in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 PJ Williams
No edge and no loss on PJ Williams in No. 229; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
