Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Buccaneers this weekend: B.

The tape said wait; the Buccaneers did not. Clay Webb went at the 121st overall pick, a good 74 picks before the board was ready.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Adding Riley Moss by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 20 they get an enforcer at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
By-the-book stuff, Alfred Collins at the 53rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They liked Ashton Gillotte enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 85. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 David Walker
David Walker in Round 4, Pick 1 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jacob Parrish. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Clay Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Clay Webb this early at pick 121. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
A wild overpay on Jack Kiser in the 159th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick167 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 167 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Carson Vinson well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A reach on Teddye Buchanan in the 235th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
