TDBUCS DRAFTING FOR THEBuccaneers

Draft Grade — Buccaneers

FutureB-
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B. The Buccaneers spent real capital to be 81 picks early on Thor Griffith, and the board is going to hold them to it.
With edge rusher and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. That Blue pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In pick No. 26 they get the heartbeat of the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53
Rnd2
Trey Amos
A tidy little value on Trey Amos in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 83rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They paid sticker price for Deone Walker in slot 84, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in Round 3, Pick 22 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 90 on Chris Paul Jr. with edge rusher and quarterback unsolved.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
No edge and no loss on Cobee Bryant in Round 4, Pick 19; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick157
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Kyle Williams a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue slipping to the 190th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
The board had Jordan Hancock higher than pick No. 229, and the safety fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick235
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
