Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Bassa: B.

Call it larceny. Jeffrey Bassa sat on the board until No. 231, and the Buccaneers did not need to be asked twice. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They are betting Griffith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. It is not that Carter is a bad player; it is that the Buccaneers had louder needs to answer first.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Mike Green
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach pick No. 56 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in the 73rd overall pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A conviction pick on Malachi Moore at slot 83 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Fair-plus on Dylan Fairchild, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
A want over a need in pick 120: Barrett Carter adds a linebacker while cornerback and quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick158 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in No. 158 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
They barely believed it either: Jeffrey Bassa still on the board at slot 231. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in pick No. 237 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
