Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall F
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureC-
The Jones reach set a tone the Buccaneers could not shake: F.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Buccaneers spent No. 209 on Jayson Jones, a name most had 99 spots down the list.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Hunt while a need in edge rusher and quarterback stayed open.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jackson Powers-Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at pick No. 58, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They paid up for Cooper Beebe at pick 63 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson slid further than he should have, and No. 89 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jalyx Hunt
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went S-EDGE with Jalyx Hunt while clear needs at edge rusher and quarterback sat open.
Pick98 Rnd3 James Williams
A real head-scratcher, James Williams in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Good price on Kris Abrams-Draine in the 127th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 32 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
They talked themselves into DeMonte Capehart at No. 204, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jayson Jones
Value said wait; Jayson Jones in the 209th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They read the board right and Brevyn Spann-Ford was the payoff at slot 244. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 255; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
