Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall

FutureC+
The Capehart reach set the tone, and the Buccaneers never recovered: F. When the story of this class is written, it opens with DeMonte Capehart at the 244th overall pick, a reach of 148 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That Wilson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 26th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Payton Wilson at slot 57. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick89
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
A quiet steal in pick No. 89: Kris Abrams-Draine for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at No. 94 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98
Rnd3
James Williams
James Williams in pick 98 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mason McCormick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126
Rnd4
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at pick 126 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at slot 132 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 156th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick166
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in Round 5, Pick 30 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
A tidy little value on Dwight McGlothern in the 179th pick, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190
Rnd6
Rasheen Ali
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Rasheen Ali well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at No. 203 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
This one needs a full-page explanation: DeMonte Capehart in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255
Rnd7
Taulia Tagovailoa
A real head-scratcher, Taulia Tagovailoa in slot 255 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
