Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
McCarthy is the Buccaneers' new face under center. Grade: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Buccaneers' quarterback, full stop. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will need Sinnott to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Wallace pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
A premium they did not need to pay, J.J. McCarthy a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Nothing to complain about; Chris Braswell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Trey Benson
The board had cheaper options than Trey Benson at the 83rd pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid up for Zak Zinter at pick 93 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ben Sinnott in No. 95, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jarrian Jones well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Value said wait; Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 164 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 172nd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They reached into another round for Tanor Bortolini, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylan Ford in pick No. 203. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
They paid sticker price for Kenny Logan Jr. in pick 244, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
