Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers cashed the board's mistake on Milroe: B-.

The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jalen Milroe fell into pick 141. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Every board in the league had Griffith lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 13th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Booker in the 45th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Steal is underselling it; Ashton Gillotte at pick 77 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton is a better player than slot 109 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick No. 141 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at No. 205 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
