Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Buccaneers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 158 on Que Robinson a full 93 spots early.

That Lundt pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
A clean, defensible pick in the 27th pick with a little surplus value in Nick Emmanwori. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 53rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick63 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
The board had Josaiah Stewart higher than No. 63, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They let Jayden Higgins come to them and pounced at slot 84. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at Round 3, Pick 21 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Somehow Jalen Milroe was still sitting there in pick No. 120, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They liked Jackson Slater enough to skip the value, taking him in the 132nd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson in pick No. 158 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Circle this one: Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick199 Rnd6 Darius Alexander
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Darius Alexander in pick 199, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237 Rnd7 Chase Lundt
They robbed the room for Chase Lundt here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
