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

The Buccaneers went off the board in a big way for Hunter Nourzad, 33 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The Rosemy-Jacksaint steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chop Robinson in slot 26. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in Round 2, Pick 25 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A reach for Christian Mahogany in the 89th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick No. 92 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick125 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at the 125th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 220 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 KT Leveston
A clean, defensible pick in the 246th pick with a little surplus value in KT Leveston. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
