Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Buccaneers, and a B- to prove it.

The Buccaneers did not so much draft J.J. Weaver as overpay for him, 71 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Legette steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Nice patience on Terrion Arnold, who had no business lasting to the 30th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 57 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in slot 89; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 92nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
They reached a country mile for Ben Sinnott at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at No. 125 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Fair-plus on Christian Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Travis at pick 165, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick246 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
They left a pile of value on the table to take J.J. Weaver this early at the 246th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
