Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall

ValueB-

TradesB+
FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Buccaneers reached some 68 spots for Barryn Sorrell, and value like that does not grow back. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
The Mondon Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the 20th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. A real need, handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Deone Walker
They went early on Deone Walker in No. 58, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in slot 84 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick102
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
No drama and no debate, Kevin Winston Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 102. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick119
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo is a better player than pick No. 119 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
They did well to land Hollin Pierce in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jalen McLeod
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen McLeod. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to pick No. 142, and they scooped it up. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick158
Rnd5
Dillon Gabriel
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Dillon Gabriel in the 158th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick167
Rnd5
Oluwafemi Oladejo
They reached into another round for Oluwafemi Oladejo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
They liked Carson Vinson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199
Rnd6
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in No. 199 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson at the 230th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick237
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in slot 237 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243
Rnd7
Barryn Sorrell
A big swing on Barryn Sorrell at the 243rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
