Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Buccaneers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The DeMonte Capehart selection is the head-turner. The Buccaneers reached 146 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In pick 32 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A tidy little value on Blake Corum in slot 89, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 94 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid up for Ben Sinnott at the 123rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at Round 4, Pick 24 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick146 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Taking Johnny Wilson in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 170 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in No. 206 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They took Michael Barrett at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick246 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A real head-scratcher, DeMonte Capehart in the 246th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
