Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Buccaneers to a D-.

The Buccaneers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Taulia Tagovailoa at No. 220 regardless, 56 picks early.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Vaki.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 26, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Value said wait; Cooper Beebe in the 57th pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 89 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick124 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Theo Johnson a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at slot 127 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khristian Boyd this early at the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at Round 5, Pick 7 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at slot 159 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the 162nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They let Dwight McGlothern come to them and pounced at No. 188. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick No. 199 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
A big swing on Rasheen Ali at pick 200, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the 203rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick220 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 246 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
