Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Buccaneers: B-.

The Buccaneers torched the value chart for DeMonte Capehart, taking him 83 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They banked enough surplus on Laube to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will answer for taking S-EDGE early while tight end, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 31st overall pick they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in No. 65; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Circle this one: Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jalyx Hunt
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jalyx Hunt adds a S-EDGE and leaves tight end, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick102 Rnd4 James Williams
A big swing on James Williams at pick No. 102, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 127 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick 165 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dylan Laube
They robbed the room for Dylan Laube here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
They reached into another round for DeMonte Capehart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at the 244th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
Jayson Jones in pick No. 255 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
