Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Buccaneers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Xavian Sorey Jr., 42 picks early at the 229th pick.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Trotter where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 28th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
A tidy bit of business in No. 77, where Josiah Trotter graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Malachi Lawrence well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
A straight-up fair deal on Nadame Tucker at pick 153, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Zuhn III. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. at pick No. 229 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
