Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Tampa fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The Buccaneers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: T.J. Tampa, the No. 58 name on the board, in pick 89.

Nourzad has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 26 they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in No. 57; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Somehow T.J. Tampa was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 26, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Hunter Nourzad
They reached a country mile for Hunter Nourzad at the 92nd pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Nothing to complain about; Brenden Rice went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader slid further than he should have, and the 220th overall pick is lovely value for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ryan Watts at the Round 7 slot is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
