Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Milroe fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jalen Milroe had no business being available in Round 6, Pick 11, and the Buccaneers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Reaching for Webb left real value on the table behind him. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jayden Higgins in pick 84. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
By-the-book stuff, Charles Grant at the 91st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 David Walker
David Walker in pick No. 121 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at No. 136 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 139 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick157 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at the 157th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at No. 176 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick 183 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jalen Milroe
Somehow Jalen Milroe was still sitting there in pick No. 187, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
A real head-scratcher, Phillip Webb in the 235th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
