Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Buccaneers.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Buccaneers took Shaun Dolac at pick 235, roughly 104 spots before his name belonged.

The Felton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
No edge and no loss on Jalon Walker in the 25th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick53 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Ezeiruaku. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 79th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at No. 84 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 35, where Ozzy Trapilo graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
They paid sticker price for Billy Bowman Jr. in slot 105, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Steal is underselling it; Tai Felton at pick 121 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They jumped the gun on Jonah Monheim, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A conviction pick on Quincy Riley at Round 5, Pick 28 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at the 191st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 CJ West
Quietly one of the better values of the day, CJ West at the Round 6 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick235 Rnd7 Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at slot 235 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
