Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Buccaneers, and a B- to prove it.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Hunter Nourzad in pick 92, a good 26 spots before the room expected him.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Landing Watson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
No drama and no debate, T.J. Tampa went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in the 68th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in No. 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in Round 3, Pick 29 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick 125 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
They jumped the gun on Rasheen Ali, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nathaniel Watson at slot 220 is the proof. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick231 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A real head-scratcher, Sam Hartman in pick No. 231 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at the 246th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
