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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Kamran James in the 229th overall pick, a good 35 spots before the room expected him. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Haulcy pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will answer for taking linebacker early while wide receiver went begging.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at the 51st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Connor Lew in pick 77. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A safety of that caliber at No. 82 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A curious use of the 88th pick. Wide receiver needed the pick; a linebacker in Jacob Rodriguez did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jack Endries
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Jack Endries graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
They did well to land Trinidad Chambliss in No. 119, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at Round 5, Pick 15 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
A wild overpay on Raylen Wilson in pick No. 162, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick193 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
A reasonable price with a little left over, DJ Harvey in slot 193. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 Rueben Owens II
They reached a country mile for Rueben Owens II at pick 214, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kamran James
Kamran James in the 229th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
Nothing to complain about; Ethan O'Connor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
