Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Nix should have been long gone. The Buccaneers pounced, and earned a B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Bo Nix slide, and the Buccaneers were the ones holding the card at the Round 3 slot. Highway robbery.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Powers-Johnson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than No. 36, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They jumped the gun on Jackson Powers-Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Bralen Trice worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Bo Nix
The board fumbled Bo Nix all the way to the 70th pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at slot 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick92 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Somehow Javon Bullard was still sitting there in pick 92, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at pick No. 95 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zak Zinter at the 106th overall pick is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ray Davis
Ray Davis in slot 139 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Taking Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the 148th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in pick No. 196 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Steal is underselling it; JD Bertrand at No. 252 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
