Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Leonard. Final grade: D-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Buccaneers took Javontez Spraggins at pick No. 218, roughly 40 spots before his name belonged.

They banked enough surplus on Leonard to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at slot 13 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
They did well to land Barrett Carter in No. 49, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick77 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A reach for Nicholas Singleton in pick 77; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalon Walker. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Fernando Carmona Jr.
They paid a round early for Fernando Carmona Jr. in the 109th overall pick, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in pick 141, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick159 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Riley Leonard in the 159th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
They liked Noah Thomas enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 13. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218 Rnd7 Javontez Spraggins
Javontez Spraggins at pick No. 218 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser is a better player than No. 219 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick221 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A straight-up fair deal on J.J. Weaver at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
