Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Buccaneers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Buccaneers reached some 45 spots for Khristian Boyd, and value like that does not grow back.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Getting Jones where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat is a better player than slot 57 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick No. 63 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in No. 89 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They jumped the gun on Braelon Allen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 94th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the 124th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
They talked themselves into Jalyx Hunt at pick No. 125, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A quiet steal in the 131st pick: Elijah Jones for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
They reached into another round for Khristian Boyd, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Nice patience on Jared Wiley, who had no business lasting to pick 220. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
A slide stopped in slot 246, with Donovan Jennings worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
