Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers.

The war room fell hard for Jayson Jones, and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 150 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They banked enough surplus on Trotter Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

With tight end, cornerback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on S-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 26 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at No. 57 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Circle this one: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end, cornerback and other spots to take Jalyx Hunt, a S-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick203 Rnd6 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at Round 6, Pick 28 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Omar Brown
This one needs a full-page explanation: Omar Brown in the 244th pick, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
Jayson Jones in the 255th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
