Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Hancock should have been long gone. The Buccaneers pounced, and earned a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jordan Hancock at the 235th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Morris to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In slot 28 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to the 56th pick, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick83 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at pick 83 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at Round 3, Pick 25 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick92 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They let Darien Porter come to them and pounced at No. 92. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A clean, defensible pick in the 96th overall pick with a little surplus value in Tez Johnson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
You do not let a tight end like Mason Taylor reach pick No. 129 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A tidy little value on Vernon Broughton in slot 144, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Circle this one: Jeffrey Bassa at Round 5, Pick 27 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylin Smith this early at No. 181. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris in the 229th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Somehow Jordan Hancock was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
