Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Dylan McMahon at No. 246. The Buccaneers jumped the board by 46 and dared it to prove them wrong. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Mitchell pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 26th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Adonai Mitchell in pick 57, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
By-the-book stuff, Caelen Carson at No. 89 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at Round 3, Pick 29, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at slot 125 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A reach on Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon in Round 7, Pick 26 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
