Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Burnip. Final grade: B.

Somebody in slot 237 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Buccaneers sat still while James Burnip, the No. 168 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Spending an early pick on linebacker with cornerback, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in No. 25 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A surprising call. With cornerback, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent the 53rd pick on Jihaad Campbell, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick83 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in slot 83 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to Round 3, Pick 25, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tez Johnson in the 94th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in pick 120 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
You do not let a safety like Malachi Moore reach pick No. 126 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 James Burnip
They will replay James Burnip at pick 237 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at Round 7, Pick 31 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
