Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Restrepo. Final grade: B.

The Buccaneers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Xavier Restrepo, the No. 67 name on the board, in pick No. 205.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick 13 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Nice patience on Kenneth Grant, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 13. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter in the 77th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at No. 109 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They robbed the room for Ajani Cornelius here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at the 205th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
