Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Buccaneers turned the phones into found money: B+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Buccaneers started one anyway for Austin Booker, 37 picks ahead of schedule. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. However the rest shakes out, Trotter Jr. at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In slot 28 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at No. 79 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They did well to land Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in pick 115, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Austin Booker
Value said wait; Austin Booker in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
They read the board right and Ethan Driskell was the payoff at the 204th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jowon Briggs
The board had cheaper options than Jowon Briggs at the 211th pick, and it noticed. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick244 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
No edge and no loss on Taulia Tagovailoa in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Darius Muasau in Round 7, Pick 35. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
