Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The war room fell hard for Malachi Lawrence, and it showed at pick 99: 44 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Buccaneers indulged a want in Trotter while a need in wide receiver stayed open. Getting Reese where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese at slot 21 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Good price on Jake Slaughter in No. 46, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Josiah Trotter while clear needs at wide receiver sat open.
Pick82 Rnd3 Trinidad Chambliss
They reached a country mile for Trinidad Chambliss at the 82nd pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence at Round 3, Pick 35 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
They reached into another round for Skyler Gill-Howard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in Round 4, Pick 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Sam Roush
No edge and no loss on Sam Roush in pick 153; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
A straight-up fair deal on Thaddeus Dixon at the 193rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Hall well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at slot 229 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
No drama and no debate, Jalen Catalon went about where he belonged in No. 234. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
