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

The Buccaneers spent real capital to be 38 picks early on Kamran James, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The Endries steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Spending an early pick on linebacker with wide receiver open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 21st pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A curious use of pick No. 46. Wide receiver needed the pick; a linebacker in Sonny Styles did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Connor Lew
A slide stopped in No. 77, with Connor Lew worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
They read the board right and Domonique Orange was the payoff at the 82nd overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
A quiet steal in pick 85: Malik Muhammad for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at slot 116 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at No. 153 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick193 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at slot 193 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick214 Rnd6 Gunner Stockton
The board had Gunner Stockton higher than the Round 6 slot, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kamran James
They talked themselves into Kamran James at Round 7, Pick 13, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
They liked Rueben Owens II enough to skip the value, taking him in the 240th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
