Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Smith: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Brashard Smith, the Round 7 slot, roughly 124 picks past where he belonged.

The Morris pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with cornerback, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in Round 1, Pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A curious use of the 53rd overall pick. Cornerback, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Jihaad Campbell did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
You do not let a safety like Xavier Watts reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Good price on Jake Majors in the 97th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Circle this one: Mason Taylor at No. 119 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
They went early on Vernon Broughton in slot 126, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at pick No. 156 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick223 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
The board fumbled Brashard Smith all the way to Round 7, Pick 7, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A big swing on Micah Morris at the 235th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
