Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 158: the Buccaneers steal Phillips and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jordan Phillips tumbling to the Buccaneers in Round 5, Pick 19 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Joyner reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will answer for taking linebacker early while quarterback and running back went begging.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell is a better player than slot 53 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick83 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A reach for Dylan Fairchild in Round 3, Pick 19; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in No. 84 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
A curious use of the 89th overall pick. Quarterback and running back needed the pick; a linebacker in Chris Paul Jr. did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jah Joyner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jah Joyner this early at pick 120. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in the 158th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They went early on Quincy Riley in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ricky White III
The board fumbled Ricky White III all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Good price on Cam Jackson in slot 237, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
