Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers did enough to get by: C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: James Williams, 46 picks early at the Round 3 slot.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

If Jackson Powers-Johnson and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reach on Payton Wilson in pick 58; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick89 Rnd3 James Williams
James Williams at the 89th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the 127th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 29 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 244 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
By-the-book stuff, Isaac Guerendo at the 255th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
